[quote=Anonymous]Ugh. This is more of a vent.

A cousin is getting married in another state in August. There will be 150 people, and it will be held indoors in a reception hall with capacity for 300, so the event is legal (50% capacity). I'm so annoyed that they are holding this event and expecting everyone (including elderly relatives) to be there when the public health guidance is clear on this issue! It feels like the bride and groom believe that their "big day" is more important than the health and safety of their families.

I have made the decision to travel, but we will probably only attend the outdoor reception the night before the wedding, and some side events.  I'm leaning towards skipping the actual wedding and reception. I just hate that everyone will be rolling their eyes at me like I'm some extreme liberal lunatic for skipping the actual wedding.

For the record, my immediate family has been moderately careful/safe, but not extreme. We just started outdoor play dates two weeks ago and have a summer babysitter who started this week.

Am I crazy? Are they crazy?
