Venting
My DW is in August 8th and originally the resort was going to open in July. Well they’ve informed me they are now opening August 1st. They suggested I changed my date and long story short they said I can keep my date, I just need to make all the decisions in advance and won’t be able to make any changes after a certain date. I am still waiting on the deadline.
I’ve messaged all my guests asking to confirm who is still going given the conditions, and even though everything is opening now and things should be looking better by August most people have been out of work and don’t have the funds to go now.
I am pretty sad because my FH’s sister who is my matron of honor told me she can’t go. And her reason is because of her finances. She has been knowing about this wedding for 2yrs! And should have been saving.. I offered to pay for at least a 2 day trip so she can be there but she still said she doesn’t know if she can take time off from work now. I legitimately started tearing up as I was texting her. To top things off my mother in law txted me too and told me that they needed to ask the Dr if my little brother in law can travel outside of the country with this conditions (he has an illness that weakens his immune system). They already booked their stay and flights but if they can’t go then we would have to cancel/postpone. Our guest are starting to seem like only family will be there and some friends which was my original plan but now I’m upset and confused and I don’t know what to do. A lot of people are no longer going..
We booked our stay, but only made a $500 deposit and booked our flight. We haven’t paid the resort anything for the wedding. I just got my dress and can’t do alterations yet until June 10th.. I don’t know if I should postpone and maybe have a small wedding in Vegas (that’s where I’m from and all of our family and friends are there) and just make our original DW date a vacation for me and my FH or elope during our trip... so many things going through my head and I’m now starting to feel stressed!!!
What would you do??
