[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My family just informed a close friend that we will not attend her wedding this weekend. We had RSVP'ed to come to the outdoor ceremony, but not the reception, because we didn't feel it would be safe inside a ballroom for hours. We found out guests will be seated close together as at a normal pre-pandemic wedding for the ceremony and decided to bow out. I'm pretty sad about this and worried we will be the only ones who don't go and the couple will think we don't care about their friendship, which we really really do. This is just how superspreader events are happening in ither countries where they are controlling it better than here.

It really, really sucks, but i think couples who get married mid-pandemic need to look at people not coming as a health decision and NOT a reflection of how much they care about the relationship. So yeah...i might skip my brother's wedding. Fortunately, the one family wedding scheduled for this summer was canceled and the couple had a lovely little park elopement, which I think was a thoughtful and loving decision by them.[/quote]

We aren't attending my cousin's wedding this weekend.  My parents and my family are the only ones we know of who aren't attending.  My mom is a bit worried about the flack we're going to catch, but she just doesn't think it's safe or wise.  It has nothing to do with how much she loves my cousin, and if my cousin thinks otherwise, she's nuts.  [/quote]
