First and foremost, why take the risk. Seriously. Even just parents and siblings is a lot of people who shouldn’t all be together.

More practically, what are you telling these kids to do? Go to their new home and shelter in place? Make their first Shabbat. Pesach, just the two of them. Hope the Mikva has stays open. And if Chas vshalom one becomes ill, deal with it alone, because parents aren’t allowed to come there.

For what reason?

how long should they push it off? It's not like this is likely to blow over soon.

And why can't they make their own Shabbat/Pesach? They are adults.

My brother is getting married next week bshaah tova. If all the restrictions remain as it is now then they will have it in my parent's backyard, just immediate family.

Why are people making it earlier in the day?[quote]

Bc its a huge mitzvah.
Bc you cant be engaged indefinitely and expect the couple to stay shomer negiah.
I know someone who was supposed to get married 2 weeks ago, they pushed it off thinking this would all blow over.. I feel really bad for them.

The shomer negiah part is probably not an issue- the chosson and kallah probably can't even see each other , and where would they even go

DH attended a wedding today without leaving our home — the chosson and kallah used Zoom to broadcast their chuppah online.

We really, really don't like to push off weddings.

The young couple doesn't have to live on their own yet. They can live with one set of parents and then continue to quarantine/isolate there. True, it's not ideal, but none of this is.
