COVID-19
Glad to see that lots of you aren't struggling too much during this unprecedented time. I'm doing well, bored, but well. My heart is broken for all of you who have plans later in the year. My son was supposed to get married on March 21. One week before the wedding the venue offered a bigger ballroom so people won't be too close together plus a "bridal suite" where his bride and her wedding party could get ready there. 2 days later the City of Toronto banned anything for over 50 people, 2 days after that it went down to 20 people and a couple of days later anything that was not deemed an essential service had to close. Funny side story... the Marijuana shops are deemed and essential service and the government pot website tripled their orders lol.
The bride's Mom works for WestJet and got COVID-19 so everyone in that house were isolated. It went from bad to worse.
They just wanted to get married so the bride, my son, and their witnesses, their photographer, my youngest daughter, my husband and I went to a beautiful park and they got married there. Thank God their officiator was willing to still do their wedding. My oldest daughter and her husband couldn't go because she was 9 weeks pregnant and didn't want to take a chance. 2 days after that our cities started to close parks and give fines to anyone who wasn't observing "social distancing" so they literally got it in on the last day possible.
The venue offered to give them their money back or re-book so they re-booked for March 20 next year and they will have their 115 guests be there to see them, they will be saying their vows again and a true celebration will be had.
So my husband, my youngest daughter and I will be quarantining with our 3 cats and dog. Playing tons of Yahtzee, poker and crib and binge watching some Netflix stuff. Eating our faces off too. I'm really relieved to hear how most of you are getting through it. Please stay well, as the saying goes, "this too shall pass".
