Cancel the Wedding Temporary

Hold On to Plans
Holding on your decision and check if things get better would be feasible if your wedding date is somewhere late May, Early June or after that. However, this would not be recommended if the couple is not in Goa or one of them is abroad. Due to the ban on traveling in various countries across the world, These plans might be altered accordingly. If you are one of those who believe things will fall in place and can’t wait to get united no matter what happens around you, then holding on to your wedding plans might sound ok but assured that the crowd would be limited to merely a close family function with govt regulations in place.
