Omicron Worry: Only 50 Guests Invited for Our Wedding but Reception on Hold

'We had earlier planned to get married in Nov 2021, but postponed it fearing surge in cases post Durga Puja.'

There is only so much you can plan in life because, on the one hand if there is your plan, on the other there is the God’s plan.

After dating for almost four years, last year, I and Megha decided to get married. We decided to tie the knot in November 2021. But then after Durga Puja, hearing about various warnings around the rise in COVID-19 cases, we postponed it to January 2022.

Everything was going fine. We had prepared and distributed the wedding cards to all our relatives for the 25 January reception. My cousins had booked tickets from the United Kingdom (UK) and other relatives from all parts of the country; and all were prepared to bless us on our special day.

Come December, and we hear about a new variant of COVID-19 – Omicron – and in no time, it started to spread like the Delta variant of the virus. The fear gripped our minds because we had lost many dear ones during the second wave.
