2020 or 2022 wedding date

We got engaged in Oct 2019 and our date is Sept 2020, but we have a plan B in place.

Initially we picked Oct 2021 as our back up date. One of the reasons was that we thought it would give us a fairly reasonable shot at things being back to normal by then, possibly have a vaccine etc. However the thoughts of waiting that long are so depressing, especially if things still aren't back to normal by then anyway. We also don't want to wait a year and a half and possibly still risk having to reschedule again at that point due to Covid.

So our new backup date is May 2021. It's only a year from now and we've had a fairly short engagement anyway, so it feels like a more tolerable wait. There's still a decent chance that things will be back to normal, but even if they aren't, everyone be more used to the restrictions and we'll know how to plan around them (there are just so many unknowns atm that it's impossible to plan for Sept 2020).

If the worst happens and we're back in lockdown next May, then we can postpone again (possibly to Oct 2021). So we kind of figure we're giving ourselves two shots of actually getting married by picking the earlier date if that makes sense?

[Although if we're still in the same boat this time next year we might just sign the bloody piece of paper and get it over with :P]
