HeyI’ve been following this thread like a hawk but seem to have missed your original post and now can’t find itsorry! when are you due to get married in Italy??
We’re due to get married in Lake Como in July (changed from July last year) but I just can’t see it going ahead at all!! As you’ve said it’s more the travel between here and there which I think is going to be the issue, we’ve already had our flights cancelled (which we rebooked late last year when we still thought this summer would be fine)as have a lot of our guests, which I think tells us that they’re not planning on travel being anywhere near normal this summer! Even if we can get there I think there is going to be conditions such as testing/possible vaccine requirements/possible quarantine etc. Which is going to make it next to impossible.
I spoke to our photographer last week who’s coming from the UK - he was supposed to have 12 weddings in Europe this summer and we’re the only one who hasn’t yet cancelled/postponed
Our venue are being really awkward and trying to make us hold out as long as possible before even discussing the possibilities of cancelling/postponing again, and seeing as though we’ve already paid them nearly £14k we don’t have many choices really but to just hope they play ball
I agree with you regarding 12th April, we can’t hold on any longer than that really to be able to actually finish planning/get everything in place in time.
I’ve had enough of it all tbh, if we hadn’t paid the venue so much I’d just cancel and look at it again in a couple of years.
On a more positive note I’ve got everything crossed for you UK ladies who are this summer - we have 5 weddings this August all rearranged from last year so I’m thrilled that they may (hopefully!) be able to go ahead
We’re the first weekend in September.This is our first date so luckily we don’t have much money tied up, but that’s interesting what you said about flights.. Who did you book with? None of our guests have booked anything, we’ve asked them not to until the April announcement but now I’m worried if we get a clear plan which doesn’t require full vaccination and quarantine, that prices will skyrocket so not sure if that’s good or not
Our route is run by Ryanair so I know I won’t get my money back 
I totally sympathise re worrying about getting everything ready in time if it does go ahead - we have nothing! We have amazing planners who are dealing with a lot but because of closures at the end of last year we haven’t been able to get our dresses or suits, or those for the wedding party. No invites either. We planned a small wedding even before Covid but I honestly don’t know how people manage
I know what you mean re wanting to postpone if you didn’t have money tied up, I feel like this has taken a lot of joy out of planning the wedding. I can’t believe another year and we’re pretty much in the same position.Ive got my fingers crossed for you
Grit your teeth until the 12 April xxx
) but we’ve got so much to do if it can go ahead I’d have no idea where to even start 
Xx
we are 26th June! Expecting it to be 30 guests now because of everything being said in the media and are going to go ahead. I’m happy to have the smaller wedding but the stress beforehand has been horrible. I’ve heard so many people say how perfect their small weddings have been so that makes me feel more positive!
seriously my head won't cope!
we will be going ahead with 30 after postponing last year but would be helpful to know. Can’t help but get annoyed when we go out for a meal and 200-300 are allowed to sit indoors (social distanced) but weddings are capped to 30 regardless or whether it’s indoor or outdoor makes no sense!
