Even the delayed reception still had some limitations. Was hosted in two sessions due to limits on numbers that could be present at one time.
In the end, I think they recognised some benefits in the low-key ceremony and the cost savings that resulted. But it would have been nice for at least those in the same city to attend. Our new daughter-in-law is from Europe and not only missed the opportunity for her family to be present, but they don't expect to be able to visit them for quite some time still to come. They originally planned to travel to Europe for the weeding, but that obviously was not going to happen, so they went ahead here. They are now just relieved to be married and living in an age where livestreaming events and video chats are easy and affordable.
So we are all waiting for international travel to be available again and they may still have a celebration event in Europe some time next year (or later) that we will try to attend with them - and meet the new family.
