Would you go to a wedding this summer?

[ Edited ]

It's in two months.  

 

We live in southwestern PA which has been basically on lockdown.  We're not going to be opening up any time soon.  We're being very careful - social distancing and wearing masks.  Hubby hasn't been going anywhere.  I've been going to the grocery store every ten days.  And to pick up take out orders a few times.

 

We always go to Florida every March but didn't this year due to the Coronavirus.

 

So we've been invited to a wedding in Colorado.  Not a friend or relative but someone who worked for hubby's club for a few years.

 

Hubby's all for it.  I'm not so sure.  We'd have to fly of course.   We're both 70-ish.  I'm diabetic.  He has high blood pressure.  

 

Your thoughts?

I would not, especially since the travel involves flying.  I am sure you will get responses on both sides - it's a tough choice.  Best of luck to you regardless of what you decide.  Stay safe.

Since it's not a close friend or relative, I'd politely decline the invitation. Hopefully, things will open up by July, but the two of you are in a high risk group.

No send a card.

I wouldn’t even consider it. Is that state allowing wedding parties?

@FranandZoe    Too many risks.  Are you really willing to to take them?  
I think I would just send a card or gift and stay safe.

A friend's daughter's wedding was scheduled for June.  She saw the writing on the wall and rescheduled to December right in the beginning of the lockdown.  No way would I go.  For so many reasons -- flights -- etc -- it might not end up beign an option for you anyway.

Only for a close family member and then only if I could travel by car, not air.

I am sure they will understand.

Hoping for better times in the fall, when I have 3 weddings coming up. No one is even planning bridal showers yet.
