Having to attend a big event. The first in awhile

I have a wedding to attend today in the middle of the blizzard. I must admit that I am a bit nervous not because of COVID so much as having to socialize with people again on that kind of setting. I live alone and don’t get out that much so this will be the first on a long while. Wish me luck

There are tips on the Internet on social anxiety. It is a very common issue. You going anyway knowing that it's hard for you proves what a quality person you are.

Wrong is still wrong just because you benefited from it.

Stay safe, can't believe a wedding is still happening in a blizzard but I guess they couldn't cancel.

A new adventure to look forward to.....I'm sure you will have a great time.  Everyone there is most likely having similar thoughts about stepping out after a long hiatus. You will be celebrating this new experience together....have fun

Perhaps you can stay home because of the weather?  But, if you go, good luck and try to enjoy yourself.

@gellen    People you know will be thrilled to see you --  start with them and I bet you'll find your old self quickly.   

Enjoy getting out for a happy occasion.

I hope it's at a ballroom in a hotel so you can stay over!    We are in a blizzard in RI and there is a travel ban in effect until midnight for any unauthorized vehicles!   I would not be driving out in this blinding storm anyway, therefore would not be attending.  I'm happy we still have power but we have a long way to go.......

My family attended our nieces wedding New Years Eve. The wedding was beautiful and all precautions were taken but sadly by Wednesday several family members from the grooms side contracted Covid19 as well as our niece.

 

Everyone had mild symptoms, all were vaccinated and most had gotten the booster. 

 

Be safe
