It’s Selfish To Throw A Wedding Right Now
3 reasons beyond the obvious health concerns.
The end of the summer bleeding into Autumn is usually prime wedding season, normally my feeds are inundated with nuptial festivities. And while I expected my Instagram to be wedding-free this fall, I can’t say I’m shocked weddings are still happening across the country.
There are so many reasons why having a wedding right during COVID is a dumb idea. I’ve already seen too many articles about small weddings turning into super-spreader events, even indirectly causing deaths. But even if you were to take out the dangerous health implications of a pandemic wedding, it is just an overall selfish move.
Weddings should be something to look forward to
Although we say the wedding is all about the groom and bride, the lucky couple does ultimately care about the guest’s evening. The goal is to celebrate your relationship while providing a memorable day for friends and families.
If we didn’t care, there would be no emphasis on the guest’s experience (party favors, yummy dinner, open bar, good music). If everyone had the mindset of “to hell with our guests, this is our night” the DJ setlist would be more like the bride’s most liked songs on Spotify.
