Thank you all for taking the time to answer. I will go and enjoy it. Many thanks.

Absolutely go.

I doubt very much you will catch Covid at your son's wedding. Do the basics (handwashing, sanitiser, mask...).

Another vote to go from me. Follow distancing guidelines and have a wonderful day!
Perhaps if you’re feeling a little anxious your son could discreetly mention to the other guests in advance of the big day and they’ll pay extra attention to give you a wide berth.

You must go but take all reasonable precautions. If you don’t, you will regret it.

DiscoGran Sun 23-Aug-20 15:35:14

Definitely go.

I agree with all, you should go and try and enjoy it.

SueDonim Sun 23-Aug-20 15:20:12

Go! Make sure you follow all the current advice for your area and then enjoy your day. smile

Go and enjoy yourself.

Oh, do go - you’ll regret it forever if you don’t. Wear a mask, carry hand sanitiser, stay 2m away from other guests etc, but don’t absent yourself from this major milestone in your son’s life, especially as this will be the first wedding without his Dad.

Definitely go. Just take sensible precautions.

Greenfinch Sun 23-Aug-20 15:10:54

Yes , definitely go. I think you would be miserable and regret it if you didn't.

kittylester Sun 23-Aug-20 15:08:28

Go!! I couldn't miss it.

MissAdventure Sun 23-Aug-20 15:07:59

Yes, I would go.
You can keep to the rules for your own safety, I'm sure.

The fact that a lot of the guests are nurses should give you extra reassurance.

Granniesunite Sun 23-Aug-20 15:04:08

Yes go. Keep to the rules even if others don't but don't miss his special day. Enjoy it.

Go and enjoy yourself

Could I please ask for your advice.
My son is getting married at the end of October. This will be the final family marriage and the only one after his fathers death. My husband (His father) attended the wedding of our other two children and I feel I really should attend. I have only been out of my house once since beginning of March as I am at risk health wise. There will be only 30 people in total, but a lot of them are nurses. This son has been absolutely wonderful to me since my husband’s death and I could not have managed without him so I really feel I would like to support him. We are a small family and our side of the venue will be very empty. He has said it is totally my decision. Any thoughts please.
