Disappointing

caddymanAs an update to my post of a week ago today, the new Covid restrictions announced yesterday have ensured that we won’t be going to my niece’s wedding early next month.
We’ve known the time and place for over a year, and it was planned to be for forty guests with a large party afterwards. Then it went on hold during lockdown, but with the hopes that it would all be over, or at least much reduced by October. When things did ease up, the numbers nonetheless had to be reduced to thirty, and as of today, fifteen.
Even if there were not other difficulties with travel from London to Shropshire through the already locally locked down West Midlands, and the lack of restaurant facilities, H and her fiancé, the four kids from previous relationships, her Mum (my sister) and brother and sister make nine people. That doesn’t take any account of Pad’s side of the family, or H’s Dad, stepmother and brother.
I reckon they’d be better off rearranging a registry office wedding with parents only as guests and then sometime in 2021 having a solemnisation and a proper blow out.
Either way. I hope they save us a piece of cake.
