Son’s wedding dilemma.

Go, we all have to realize that real life has to go on. What are you waiting for? May be there will not be a vaccination, things we do have already changed and are changing. Are you going to spend the rest of your life alone? Embrace life not your fears.

You will regret it if you don't. Please go x

Unless things change drastically in your area between now and then I honestly think you would regret it if you didn't go.
As everyone here says, take all sensible precautions and then just relax and enjoy this special day.

Go. It's a no-brainer.

Definitely go and enjoy every minute, if you don’t you’ll always regret it. Have a wonderful day! x

Just adding another 'go' vote here.

If you choose not to attend, I think you will regret it for the rest of your life. You and your son are obviously close and this will be a very special moment in his life which you should share.

As others have said, be sensible - not paranoid - about how to keep safe. Follow the guidelines (mask, distance, washing hands etc.) and there is little reason not to have a wonderful celebratory day with your son and his new wife.

Go and enjoy yourself. Take all due care but remember that life is for living!

another go from me ! have safe fun

If you miss this day you could regret it for ever. Go - we all need to make these steps and be brave . Have a wonderful time. x

Treat yourself to a designer mask and go! Keep your distance but be there! If you don’t wear glasses, even wear a visor! I’m sure people will be careful as a small wedding party ....

Don't even wonder Bluebellwould. Put on your best smile and celebrate alongside your son and his new wife. He needs you to be there.

Go! Wear a mask in the church as we did for partner’s son’s wedding. There were less than 30 there and it was brilliant, such a special day for the couple and guests. No singing, hugging, kissing, reception but lots of photos, confetti and laughter. You will be fine trust me!! Plus it will cheer you up after such a difficult time. ??

He sounds an absolutely wonderful son, of course you must go, and please don't worry. Everyone will be careful, just relax and enjoy yourself.

If you have only been out of your house once since the end of March, then perhaps try going out for short walks to acclimatise yourself to leaving the house again, you will be less worried on the day if you have got used to walking around other people at a suitable distance.

Oh you must go, you are lucky to have such a lovely son and although he won’t pressure you I feel it would spoil his day if you were not there. We all know you will love it and supporting your son on the start of his new life. So nice when are children get married and you feel happy about there future. The bride will want you to be there as well. Hoping you all have a wonderful day.

Go My daughter was suppose to be getting married last week, she cancelled her wedding as she wants more than 30 guests , her choice. Hope we are here next year when wedding will now take place

Hello Bluebellewould
Im sorry for you on the loss of your Husband and for your Son on the loss of his Father.
A son or daughters wedding after such a loss can be a very emotional time. You feeling anxious is perfectly normal and so are your feelings of whether you should go or not. Weddings are known to be a happy occasion but when you are grieving the loss of a loved one who would of been very much involved these feelings can be extremely mixed and even very painful. Your Son obviously loves and cares about you and is very understanding, which is good for you. I don’t know the relationship he had with his Father but if they were close it will be a very difficult time for him too.
My advice would be to seek some support to help you decide. If you do attend his wedding, maybe have some kind of support network, strategies, around you to help you cope. I was thinking possibly your other children could support you or maybe a close friend could attend with you. Sometimes having transport ready, so you can leave when you feel you need too might make you feel more comfortable. I don’t know the layout ect because of Covid but is it possible to sit beside your Son if you feel this would help. These are suggestions, but if you work with your Son, his future wife then maybe you can all come up with something that makes it a little easier for you all, because it sounds like your Son would love to have you there but understands your feelings, maybe you could do this for his sake.
I do hope you can get the right support and feel strong enough to attend your Sons wedding. Hopefully seeing his (their) happiness will give you some joy, comfort, and wonderful memories to look back on. I wish you well in whatever choice you make.

Please, please do go you will regret not going and I am sure your son would be so upset if you are not there. Have a wonderful day with them all xx

Well you know full well you should go! Sorry, but you are one of the 2.2 million extremely vulnerable/shielded folk (myself included). Some of us are returning to a work environment as well. Having received the letter virtually telling us we would drop dead if we put our noses outside the front door and being frightened out of our wits, most of us have calmed down a bit. I was very scared the first time I walked up and down my little cul de sac, but have gradually become more realistic and sensible.
Do your risk assessment. Stick to the rules. Enjoy the occasion.
I would suggest a small outing soon to get yourself used to the mask etc and the new protocols. Have a great time.

Go for it! Just take the normal precautions and enjoy it.

So glad you’ve decided to go!
Have a mask that matches your hat and style it out with all safety precautions in place!!
Your son will be thrilled!

Why are you even asking?????
GO!!

Have a great day - and don't forget the tissues!! You'll need them on such an occasion

Don’t be spooked by guests being nurses (by all means check with your son re infections in their work areas). A doctor friend on a large London Covid Ward said only one of the staff got the virus, despite their intimate contact to patients, they took care. Go, and enjoy.

Absolutely you must attend! This is a huge thing for your son. A memoryFor him to last after you pass away. He can look back and remember how hard it was for you and yet you attended because of your love for him. Mask on - hat on- lippy on - and GO

I’m so happy that you have decided to go and have ordered your outfit!
I hope you will update us after the wedding!
