[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you are very worried you are going to lose her think about what that means about how you feel. Do you have a history of commitment phobia? Do you see yourself getting married TO HER?  YOu have only been dating this covid year? It's not a normal year to get your bearing in a relationship.

OP here. I don’t have any commitment issues. I plan on marrying her. Most of our relationship has been during the pandemic. [b]I want to wait a little longer because we won’t even be able to plan a wedding anyway with the pandemic. I also want her to be able to meet my family.[/b] [/quote]

NP - Is there something you think you may learn with friends and family that will change your mind?  If not, there is no reason you can’t figure out a way, whether it’s on FaceTime or an outdoor socially distanced small gathering with close family (like parents) in order for them to at least know who she is and everyone else can get to know her better as your fiancée once things open up and you can meet in person.  If you need to meet everyone in person, knowing that is delayed with the pandemic, to be confident of your choice, okay, but it’s fair for her to say she doesn’t want to wait that long for an audition so to speak.

As for the venue, logistically, there are a bunch of people with weddings planned in 2020 and early 2021 that postponed plus people that got engaged in that timeframe that will all be planning weddings when everywhere opens up for big weddings again. Unless you are extremely flexible, having a small wedding, going to a courthouse etc, it could take 1.5 year engagement to get the venue you want and timeframe etc.  I was married pre-pandemic many years ago and we had 1.5 year engagement because I wanted a Spring wedding and we were engaged in December.  All the venues we wanted were booked a year in advance for a Saturday.[/quote]

OP here. Neither of us have met any of each others families beyond me meeting her parents. My parents live in another state and so does my brother. They met her over video but that’s it. It’s important to me that they meet and get along. [/quote]
