Wedding Roadblocks

I need to vent...

Lorena and I are getting married, but are so frustrated that we have not been able to set a date thanks to COVID.

We downsized the Austin (legal) wedding so that it would be a โ€œmicro-weddingโ€. Only immediate family will be coming. Or so we thought...

We were inclined to have the wedding sooner in 2021, but my parents were uneasy about travel without a vaccine. So we pushed it out. Now my brother (who lives in Germany) is unsure he can travel for a late spring wedding since Europe has a different timeline. They are currently behind in distribution apparently, and they have more border regulations which could make his return challenging after his visit.

So, do we move forward with a date or postpone again? It's like we are unable to plan something that we are so excited about โ€“ and that's really starting to weigh on us. We have the religious ceremony in Mexico to look forward to, and at that time my brother would be able to come (hopefully), in addition to my sister-in-law and nephews.

Honestly, I sayย letโ€™s just do itย and then later in Mexico everyone will be able to attend. Besides, at the end of the day itโ€™s about us.
