Well chaps, I’m gonna get straight to the point on this one as got some big news coming your way!
It was announced last week, that from November, quarantine upon arrival to Argentina will be lifted!!! Myself, Nolz, and families have all been praying for the wedding and the logistics of it all and this is honestly such a huge answer to prayer. One of the big things we need, in order for the wedding to stand a chance of going ahead, is for there to not be quarantine needed on both sides (preferably on neither but I’ll get to that when I get to some prayer points at the end) so that my direct family can come over and celebrate with us.
Part of the reason we chose the end of November as our wedding date was with this in mind. Last year the things started opening up in around September time, so we figured that Argentina would likely follow the same kinda route as last year. To tell you the truth, I had been feeling a bit negative about the quarantine rule lifting here, as the government seem to be being a bit more cautious this year and things are coming back a bit slower.
Looking back, I can really see God’s been guiding us. Initially, once we’d decided that the wedding would first take place in Argentina rather than England, we were planning around the date of the 30th October. There were a lot of difficult conversations around this and I, for one, was completely emotionally drained and exhausted by the whole thing. But how glad I am that we changed the date to the end of November! If we hadn’t we would have just missed the change in quarantine. I am honestly so thankful to God on this.
So now that we know the quarantine rule will be lifted for November, I’m actually letting myself start to be more optimistic that Nolz and I will get married this year and at the very least my mum, dad, brother and sister will be there ☺️ it feels a bit surreal in some ways. I’m still a bit cautious in my thinking about it, as there are still things that could crop up, but for the moment we’re looking good and one big hurdle has been dismantled.
So, talking about the things that could crop up, I wanted to give some prayer points. We would really really appreciate your prayers if you are someone who prays!
– whilst quarantine is lifted in Argentina upon arrival, quarantine in a hotel on return to England is still necessary at the moment. This makes things difficult, especially for my brother and sister, so we’re praying that Argentina goes off the red list at the next announcement. If it does, it means that my fam can all come out for a bit longer and it’s not so difficult with leave etc. Really, Argentina should come off the list. Our cases each day for the whole country are between 1,000-2,000, the vaccination programme is going well and we don’t have many of the different strains!
– prayer for all to go through with flights for my family and some of Nolys family who are abroad, as lots of connections are needed and so we don’t want any of those connecting flights to fall through for any reason
– new strains. This is something that could emerge at any point and be significant enough to stop the wedding, so we pray that nothing new emerges!
– protection and health over us all. We need to get through to the wedding day without anyone getting COVID or becoming unwell so please please please be praying for this!
And of course, if there are any other things you’d like to pray for then please go ahead. The more the better! Thanks in advance 💜
