Here’s a thought: give her a small ceremony and when all this crap is over in November, hold a big ceremony and huge celebration! Everyone will understand, and when the time comes, everyone will be in a very celebratory mood!
Yeah it sucks right now, but the consolation is that we are all going through this together. I missed my Father’s death and funeral. There’s no sense in being bitter about it. It just is what it is.
The important part of all this is getting married and then staying married.
You can have splash out on a party later. You can take a trip later.
I’ve been married a pretty long time(38 years) and I cringe when I hear people say, “This will be the best day of life!” It better not be.
Your kids being born, your husband being saved by surgeons, surviving a home fire or a flood, getting the all clear after cancer - those are pretty good days and they don’t happen every week.
You can always save up for a party. You can’t always find your beloved spouse.
so sorry for your loss and that you cuould not be there.
