"Should-have-been" Wedding Date - Creative Ideas to Celebrate

If restrictions allow a little weekend away would be nice! Or a staycation with takeout from your favorite restaurant and a good bottle of wine.

My fiance and I went away to our lake house for the weekend of our original wedding date with a few of our close friends and our parents. Spent the weekend on the lake, boating, hot tubing and spending the evenings by the fire.

This sounds so perfect! such a cute way to spend it!

We splurged by ordering a ton of take out and had a feast while watching Netflix (specifically The Big Family Cooking Showdown). We ordered food from 8 different restaurants in the area (which sounds like a lot but we only ordered one thing from each place, and some of those items are appetizers or dessert) and ate while watching TV over coffee and wine (depending on the time of day lol). Our city was already in lock down by our date and there was potential to be really crappy outside so we wanted the day to be super chill.

On our original wedding date we went away for the weekend. We went hiking, got nice takeout, and went out for a nice dinner on the actual day of the wedding. It was really nice to enjoy each other’s company and not just be sad at home. Recognizing it might be difficult to do a getaway at the moment, other things I’ve heard are doing a nice meal, getting something from the bakery who is doing your wedding desserts, doing a zoom call with your wedding party, or just having a romantic date night in.
