Here we are late September and still Covid is affecting the world of love.It has been a sad year for so many couples who have not married because of Covid postponing celebrating their love and nd commitment with family and friends.
As member of aninternational “the celebrants collective” we are reminded that worldwide wedding plans have been put on hold this year.
Back in March, when the world started to take note of the spread of the coronavirus and lockdowns and other safety measures came into place, we all still had so much hope for how this year would play out.
In April we pushed back weddings until October, still positive that they would go ahead. But then when we started doing the same for May, June and then July, and August succumbed too, our outlook and our expectations began to shift, and the positivity that once was there, fell away. There have been a few weddings but they have not been the original planned wedding:, instead a smaller version or an romantic elopement full of love at a local amazing Cassowary Coast location.
We didn’t expect for it to go on for so long.
We didn’t expect for our couples to cancel their weddings.
We didn’t expect to have to re-arrange weddings.
We didn’t expect to lose so much of our wedding income.
We didn't expect to have diaries with spaces where weddings used to be.
We didn't expect to not see the couples who we were excited about marrying.
We didn't expect to see colleagues and other wedding professionals lose their livelihoods.
We didn't expect to have to find new ways to help support ourselves.
We didn't expect to have to console couples and help them to be positive, often encouraging them to marry closer to their interstate homes.
We didn’t expect to feel so much sadness from something which usually gives so much joy.
Now is the time we need all the love and weddings will go ahead in 2021
But will they be smaller? Or a bigger celebration or a big celebration following a Covid year romantic elopement.
No matter what happens in the future don’t postpone love in 2021. You can still get married maybe just in a different way depending on the varying restrictions at the time.
If you would like to talk about a romantic elopement or your plan to marry in the next twelve months contact us for a chat.
On that note we are happy to say that there have been a few weddings over the last few months and in the coming weeks in October we have some amazing weddings happening: So we know love is out there in abundance.
