Son’s wedding dilemma.

Please go.
Your son said it is up to you but I'm guessing that he would really like you to be there.
Things can and will change between now and October but from what I have seen (photos of a friend's daughter's wedding last week) , as only 30 people are allowed, social distancing was very apparent both at the wedding venue and also at the reception . My friend said that she really enjoyed the wedding - if only because it was a chance to actually see another human being !
Just be sensible, take your mask (colour coordinated with your outfit) for to and from the wedding venue, wash your hands and use anti bac gel (Boots have a great little Cath Kidston one that you can slip in your handbag as it's like a little flat cassette) and enjoy this very special day.

Yes. Go enjoy it and don’t be a ?. If it wasn’t for the media and scientists this would have been declared over months ago. Suits a lot of people to pretend this is bigger than it is. Went to our local hospital recently and it was empty.

Bluebellwould You absolutely should go to your son’s wedding, I think you would regret it if you don’t. Wear a mask, carry hand sanitiser in your bag and use it frequently. Keep your distance from other guests and enjoy the day making memories xx

Absolutely GO! Please don't miss this one-off special event. All precautions will be in place. You'll only feel worse if you're not there. Have a wonderful time and savour the memories. ?

Do go and have a wonderful time.

I'd go. Take a spare mask, and a tiny travel-bottle of sanitiser, but don't let fear stop you from enjoying yourself.

Have a great day!

Go. Ive just done the same. You’ll regret it otherwise.

Have a wonderful day. How lovely to be able to see your last child settled.

To see my S happily married would be worth any risk.
Go , enjoy every minute, just be sensible.

I had been shielding since the middle of March and my daughter got married in our garden three weeks ago, after having her wedding postponed the day after lockdown.

Everyone kept their distance and there was no hugging or kissing to keep me safe. My daughter said it was the best weekend of her life.

Go for it and enjoy!

Definitely go. Wear a mask, take hand sanitiser in your bag. Keep to social distancing recommendations. Enjoy.

In touch with,not on.

Because you have been only out once since March, I would say wait for the numbers to make a decision.

It is a small wedding with only 30 people but that not the real number of people you may be on touch with - aka exposure. Let me explain.
A family attending the wedding may attend lunch with friends a few days before the wedding, so you are now exposed to those 4 people attending the wedding + those 4 friends they had lunch with + people those 4 friends were in touch with, etc.

Bluebellwould. I’m not going to say anything different from the other responders. You must GO!! You’ll enjoy it and make your son’s day.

I hope you have a lovely time at your son’s wedding.

So glad you've decided to go. You will have a wonderful time and make your son very happy.

Definitely go. How exciting waiting for the outfit to come!!

Thank you all. I’ve just ordered my outfit!

Same here, hope you all have a lovely day Bluebellwould be sensible with usual precautions and it will be fine.

You must go; I am sure you will enjoy every minute, and you would feel terrible if you were forced to miss your son's wedding, particularly the ceremony, which nothing can replace.

Yes do go , as long as your sensible , you will regret it if you don’t.
Hope it all goes well and you have a lovely day ?

Go go go ! You will have a wonderful time , just keep washing your hands and no hugs and kisses ,although I have to admit that I’m hugging family now . I couldn’t bear to miss my son’s wedding especially as his father won’t be there ?

I really do think you should go - these are difficult times and we all have to make our own judgements about these things - and it an be hard.

But, I really think you might regret it if you do not go - you can take all the steps that everyone has suggested to make it as safe as possible - it is all any of us can do at the moment.

I wish you a joyous day.

Go and enjoy bluebellwould. How could you not. Suggest before the date you have a little trip or two out even if it’s just around the corner, in preparation for your sons big day.
