Hello Wedding date Twin

I am right there with you with being worried. Currently British Columbia's Provincial gathering restrictions for weddings may proceed with (a COVID-19 Safety Plan in place) a maximum of 10 people attend, including the officiant. Unfortunately that number does not allow enough people to include our combined immediate families. I come from a split family with half siblings, step siblings, and step parents.

Congratulations on your wedding location! Crescent Beach has a wonderful atmosphere and will be a stunning backdrop. I am really happy to hear your vendors are understanding about postponing should restrictions not be lifted by then. Our Hall in Abbotsford has continued to be open and supportive, as we have already postponed from August 29, 2020.

My Fiancé has also suggested having an intimate ceremony this year (no matter what it looks like) and follow up the reception at a later date. We want to celebrate with all our loved ones too.

This is the same wedding Date I have planned for this year!😁
But i am starting to slightly worry about whether or not they will even be allowing receptions at all
We didn't plan a huge thing just a small hall on crescent Beach. We already have 3 kids and well so far us, kids, guests and 4 vendors that would be 40 people . I have been in touch with most of my vendors booked and so far all of them have been super open and supportive of the possibility of us postponing our day .They will just likely hold onto deposits or any extra payments made and give us a new date for next year. Reading on here about someone saying that most people who only went ahead with their ceremonies and postponed receptions are still not doing one now😒 this makes me think about how waiting that long will take away from the experience as A" whole"We've already been together for 8 years now so I don't think that if we waited it would be that bad. Also the idea of doing the ceremony and it being an intimate thing then later having the party might be nice to have that be separate.

My Fiancé proposed 3 months after we moved into the house. We were still unpacking boxes here and there as we rebuilt and renovated different areas of the home. As more usable space became available to unpack, I commented on how the house was feeling like a home. My Fiancé gave no notice of nerves or something was going on, he simply left the house saying he was going out for some reno stuff and came back with the ring. HOWEVER, my Fiancé waited 2 hours after he got home in which he spent that time riling me up for enjoyment until I became quite cross. When I discovered the ring, I immediately was shocked and started crying in happiness. This is my Fiancé’s sense of humor to a T. the family we told were laughing at very Adam, it was.

Thank you GemmaD. Its nice to hear you agree with the priority of the safety and health of the wedding guests.

Your intimate autumn wedding sounds cozy and beautiful. Thank you for your kind and encouraging words to focus on the most important significance of the day; the partner.

Thank you very much, I will take you up on your offer of tips for wedding planning and recommendations for live streaming.

Hi Sarah. That so sweet! did he propose like the first time you walked in to your new place?
You are doing the right thing. You simply don't want to be worried and think about that your guests you care about may get sick just because they came and someone brought it too.

I was originally planning for a big wedding and after COVID hit and I got married just in a close circle of people in the fall. And it was beautiful! Just think about what's the most important. well of course to marry your fiance. that's the number one priority. so don't worry about anything else.

Let me know if you need any tips for wedding planning or recommendations for live streaming. Can send you contact for the people i used and talked to during my planning
