Planning a wedding during COVID was beyond stressful at times. It felt like everyone had postponed and there was such limited availability of our vendors and I felt a real loyalty sticking with them given most of their worlds had been tipped upside down with COVID. We were so lucky with COVID, we both kept our jobs and given we live on a property 45 minutes from the nearest town we really were relatively unaffected other than our wedding planning.
My words of wisdom are, your wedding is about you and your husband or wife, nothing else and no one really matters. It is about making a commitment to each other for life. Everything else, all the shiny, beautiful things, are just nice to haves. I would say prepare to be flexible, prepare yourself emotionally for things to change beyond your control at the last minute, lean on each for support and have a contingency plan. Like any relationship, it’s about communicating with your partner, compromise and understanding each other’s point of view. I would recommend that if you’re sitting down and planning a wedding now for the first or fifth time that you go through the non-negotiables, what aren’t you willing to compromise on. For us, this was having our immediate families there as my family live in NSW and the NT, everything else could change if it had to in the end. I think it’s also about realising your day is what you make it, it might not be exactly how you envisaged it, it might be the complete opposite, but for us, it was still the best day of our lives to date. Nothing could wipe the smiles off our faces and we don’t regret the decisions we made regarding our postponement one bit.
