Son’s non wedding day

Could you arrange for a meal for them to be delivered? A lot of restaurants and pubs are now delivering meals to homes. Or even afternoon tea including a cake ?
If you belong to Facebook and your local Facebook group, you can ask for recommendations I am sure. I know that where I live, within a 10 mile radius, there are several companies, from bakeries to tea rooms that will make up a special tea and arrange to deliver it to your son. Don't forget yourself either - have a treat!

Perhaps new legislation would be needed, for weddings to be performed by video link.

Isn't it comparatively recent that they could be held anywhere other than a church or register office, in England?

I was under the impression that only essential Weddings for example where one partner is terminally ill were actually taking place at the moment? Most registrars and clergy are operating the strict self distancing rules and the registration of Births and Deaths are now being done online rather than face to face in a registry office.

I don’t think weddings at the moment are allowed full stop.

Were you having a church wedding, or was the ceremony to be somewhere else like hotel?

My thoughts too Newquay, you can have the legal marriage without the party.

While I sympathise with all the weddings on hold I can’t understand why couples don’t just actually get married-with video links-at the time then have a reception later?

We are in the same situation. My son was getting married in Corfu in June. All postponed till 2021. So sad. Guests in difficult process of trying to get flight and hotel refunds.
We are hoping that by the wedding date restrictions may be a little less stringent and we can at least see them.
Like the idea of getting them some tasty cheese and wine. Family video sounds wonderful.

kitty I think you are right, I totally mis read the whole thing! Got up before I was properly awake......

I think the op means 'in a month's. Or that's how I read it!

Do you mean it’s a month ago that they were due to get married?
Did you do anything for them on the actual day?
Sorry, but I don’t see why you want to celebrate something that didn’t happen a month ago.
Maybe it’s just me.

Not sure if your circumstances would enable this but could you arrange for a local restaurant to send around a special meal for them? Also a nice bottle of wine or champagne. Although here (I'm not in the UK) we cannot eat at a restaurant many of them are open for take away or delivery of meals.

Our youngest daughter was due to go to Las Vegas to get married at Easter. We should also have had the baby while they were away!

We just sent a very nice bottle of champagne.

DD's older children (aged 8 and 7) organised a complete ceremony for them with key rings for rings, a set of vows and flower petals for confetti.
