[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Our wedding was September 22, 2001.

We had it and a few people didn't come, but most did.

I realize it's not the same thing, but everyone was afraid to fly, to do anything. It just felt unsettled.

I'd think about how you will feel in 20 years attending this wedding vs. not [b]when actual risks are very low[/b]. [/quote]

Actual risks are NOT very low.  They're high.  Sure, your risk of getting covid and dying from it is probably pretty low, but your risk of getting covid and passing it along to your kids is not.  Fauci was just on Meet the Press this weekend debunking the myth that this is not a dangerous disease for children.  Sure, if you're a 90 year old smoker with high blood pressure and diabetes, your risk is higher than that of a healthy child, but he said the Delta variant is now landing children in the hospital too.  Plus we don't know what the long-term/long-haul implications for kids are, even if they don't have serious cases initially.

To ask "how would you feel in 20 years attending this wedding vs. not... it's not like you're missing it out of laziness or apathy... the people having the wedding are putting you in this position.  Most people I know that are choosing to go on with their events realize that some people might not feel comfortable attending, and are understanding of people deciding to decline.  [/quote]
