We know this will all depend on lockdown ending, which as this is something we can’t predict makes it all the more stressful. Not only would we not want to risk anyone’s health, but we wouldn’t disobey the safety guidelines that currently see any social interaction outside of households pretty much banned.

But, we also want to do what’s right for us and although we understand that some people may still feel uncomfortable attending a wedding even if the restrictions are loosened, if it’s possible to go ahead we will. Everyone is a free agent and we expect some of our friends and family to say no to coming – and we wouldn’t want them there if they felt they’d been summoned under duress.

The million dollar question is when will it be safe to reorganise this for? The truth is, nobody knows, but this also can’t go on forever so we’re going to plough on with our ideal situation of the end of the summer and hope for the best. We’ve had to accept that some of our family from Australia and American probably won’t come, and that restrictions may still be in place that will impact the overall guest list, but as long as our immediate family members are there – and the two of us – we’ll be happy.

I thought it might be hard to get suppliers on board but actually everyone – aside from our venue – have been surprisingly accommodating. I think it’s easy to underestimate how devastating a loss this is for most wedding industry players but they’re looking at having to wipe out an entire year’s income. While most couples are postponing to 2021, we’ve heard from our suppliers that it’s helpful to have some couples willing to take a punt on later this year, so that they might have a few weekends left next year to generate new income from.
