There are certainly going to be some sort of distancing guidelines or at least regulations by then, we're both pretty sure. If not, will people feel OK being close/giving eachother a hug? Do we want to shell out $15k+ for a big day if it's not going to be what we want? We'd be getting some support form both sides but we'd be ponying up most of the wedding, at least that much.
At this point it's sounding like a better option to save that for an eventual home down payment. 15 grand doesn't do a whole lot towards a down payment down here, but it's not like we'd be able to make up that much cash very quickly.
That's exactly what we did. The money definitely came in handy when it came to buying a house. We also had a nice honeymoon that did not leave us in a financial hole. We're going to have a bbq whenever the covid thing blows over - probably 2069.
