You do realize people can still get married with a very small guest list right? Outdoors, spaced apart? To my knowledge the only events that have been super spreader are ones with like 100 plus people and without people taking precautions. OP - Unless you are literally staying indoors forever, not seeing anyone, not eating out etc you are literally doing the same exact thing as some folks having very small intimate weddings.

Honestly it sounds like you are planning as best you can during impossible times. If people behaved the way you describe you are correct that this is no more dangerous than say outdoor dining.

The challenge I’ve heard from several acquaintances who did attend weddings is plans weren’t followed. which puts bride and groom in the difficult position of policing their own ceremony. It doesn’t take much- people floating between tables, dancing, waiting at the bar for drinks for your plan to be compromised. Even testing- I know several individuals who straight up lie about this, rationalizing they have “been careful.”

I dont know your family or friend group and genuinely hope you are right. All I can say is groups I know as relatively reasonable human beings who have stomped all over wedding protocols.

This is why we eloped. Had out courthouse ceremony outside. We needed two witnesses so we used our roommate and the photographer. Families were pissed, but we saved a ton of stress and money, and most importantly, no one got sick.

Tbh I’d highly recommend doing it this way even in normal times.

I used COVID as an excuse to NOT have a reception 😎 “sorry, COVID, damn shame, can’t have a wedding.” Had a 14 person “wedding” outside and saved thousands.

So recently my SO has been accusing me of being in control of when we are intimate (sex and cuddling). She says that every time she wants to I say no - and whenever I want to - she says yes. So it's by default doing whatever I want when I want. It's a gross exaggeration of what's happening - but does anyone ever deal with something like this? How do you say no to something like that - without your partner thinking you're just looking out for yourself or you're controlling?
