Tomorrow, my son will be getting married. It is not how his mother and I had imagined. There will be none of the selecting clothes, none of the venue not being up to expectations, no guests, no hugs, none of those other catastrophes that make a wedding so "memorable". His mother and I will attend from our homes in Dallas, her parents will attend from their home in Taiwan, The JP from his office in Plano, Tx and the happy couple from their home also in Plano.
2020 so far has been a year of trials for me and I'm sure for many others, but I am so happy that this is my bright spot.
They are planning on a reception sometime next year, so there is that to look forward to next year.

Yep, that's how it's going to be this year. A celebration at a later date will be nice. At least you can attend via Zoom, which is all the rage this year.
I am performing a zoom funeral next week, with only a few in real attendance at the funeral home, and a zoom vow renewal coming up next month, where I'll be on the beach and the couple will be at their home.
Strange times! Hope it all goes well for you and your family witnessing the marriage!

Best wishes to everyone! They can always throw a party later. Does this mean you wear a coat/tie/tux on top and shorts/bare feet on the bottom?

I am planning to just dress normally, but I have already checked my background to make sure that there are no embarrassing items/ messes for the camera to pick up.
@glennlab Good plan...we're all checking out peoples' books, photos, plants, etc.
Wishing your son and his bride a long and happy life together. You are quite right 2020 has been a year of trials for many. I'm an intensive care nurse and have looked after many covid patients, so I've seen how upsetting it is for families that have been separated. Enjoy tomorrow and I hope you will be able to hug your son soon.

Well, we have a mega-catastrophe that will make their wedding memorable, so I'm sure everything else will go smoothly by comparison. All those less-interesting catastrophes can wait until the reception next year, which will be a really fine event, I'm sure.
Congrats, father-of-the-groom - and best wishes to the happy couple!
