Hi all. We have our wedding day booked for February of 2021. We're in one of the hardest hit areas of New Jersey. I know we have plenty of time, but with everyone talking about the second wave of the virus I am already thinking of other options. Our parents and grandparents fall into "at a higher risk" categories and I would be devastated (and not in any mind frame to celebrate) if one of our loved ones wouldn't be able to attend our February wedding due to being hospitalized or worse.
Has anyone moved up their wedding? Our engagement party was postponed and I was thinking of possibly turning it into a very simple backyard summer wedding. Hopefully summer brings some relief and we can host a small gathering. If we can still have our February date and the venue is open, I would love to have a still have a celebration reception with our larger guest list, as long as it is safe to do so. I know it is still early and there's a lot more important things happening right now, but any advice, thoughts, pros/cons, would be appreciated.
Stay safe.
