Lockdown weddings are happening everywhere now. Weddings are an occasion where the presence of friends and families is a must to share the happiness of the groom and bride. However, in the times of lockdown, it is not always possible to attend physically. The rules of engagement for weddings, in this case, have to be maintained. Read on to know more.
The reason for these restrictions
The lockdown of recent times involves a viral agent of exceptional infective capacity, which precludes the presence of a large number of individuals. While the trend is alarming, it is also an indication of the requirement to maintain the rules set in place for this situation. Therefore, although there may be some troubles for the invited in the actual venue, adherence to the rules mentioned below will be a good step to follow.
The lockdown weddings guidelines
As an invited guest, the attendee must accept the fact that rules and regulations under the normal scenario will not apply here. The bride, groom, and other attendees must think him or her as important, otherwise, they wouldn’t bother including them in their wedding list. If it’s possible and if the invitee thinks it’s best to convey their best wishes without attending, that is good regards to the general health scenario.
However, if the situation demands their presence, it is best to try to adhere to some of the practices as given below;
- Firstly, check your health status. Are you experiencing any of the symptoms of the disease? If you are, it is best to not attend the wedding. You will do no favor to the marriage party if you attend in this state.
- However, if you do attend, then take all the precautionary measures. Wear gloves, face masks, wash your hands as directed, and try best to avoid contact as much you can.
- You may have to engage yourself in the various rituals. Always maintain a safe distance with other individuals. Where it’s not possible, take all necessary precautions, and do not forget washing your hands after the ceremony.
- The same goes for the congratulatory hugging. In the present scenario, it would be best not to. Not only you face the risk of contracting the disease, but also of spreading the disease to other places and locations if an infection occurs. Just verbal congratulations and blessings will have to do. And if direct contact couldn’t be avoided, always sanitize your hands after that.
- Be on time. The families of the marriage parties are already facing a stressful situation and they do not need any more surprises. If you cannot attend the wedding, inform them beforehand.
Being reasonable
The state and area guidelines have placed a number restriction of individuals, so an invitation to weddings may not be possible to be extended to everyone. So, if you are getting an invitation, be reasonable and supportive to the bride and groom. Refraining to discussions criticizing the arrangements is a good choice. Also, try to stay for the entire wedding if possible.
