I was going to suggest doing the paperwork now with a small, family ceremony, and then a post-covid mega bash.
It has to be by the church. Then their is the issue of renewing ones vows.

  • Location: As always, silence is NOT an admission of agreement on DDF. It just means that people lack the stamina to keep on arguing with made up "facts", illogical arguments, deceiving statements, nasty and degrading comments, and fuzzy math. - @yelped

Excuse the ignorance, but can a priest do a home ceremony? And do the vows that get made at the party need to be religious rather than ceremonial?

IL is now stay at home until 5/31. We just had a talk with her. See is leaning to end of August. I just have a bad feeling even then they will not allow large gatherings.

She has been engaged for over a year and has been dating her fiancé over 5 years.

Oh wow. Feel so bad for her.

Not ignorance at all as I am not sure. It has always been in a church. Need to find out.

If they can't renew the vows they are allowed to give special blessing just not the sacrament of marriage again.

Looks like the imported meat should be unaffected.

Was thinking the same, but at the end all others will probably follow and hike the prices

Not necessarily.
If competitors have any kind of shortage then yes, price will go up too. On the other hand, if they can supply more, they will increase production/import, keep the same price, increase sales and have an advantage on their competitors.

Problem is that they will never go back in price.

Speaking of demand, It’s easy to see a situation where there is an over supply of kosher meat. I wouldn’t be shocked if there are well over 100,000 less portions of beef and poultry being used each night in the absence of weddings, bar mitzvahs, sheva brachos, parlor meetings, organizational dinners, business meetings, eat in dining, etc. etc.

Some of those people will need to eat anyway, and will choose beef but  likely the vast majority of those portions will go unused

If all equal, yes. Reducing production is the way to avoid the excess of supply and keep the equilibrium for a steady price. The demand should shift the supply not the other way.
Bottom line, too many factors to speculate about the price unless someone has inside knowledge.

OK, we have to compare the same grade. I have always been told kosher meat is more expensive.
