One of my wedding vendors has been fairly vocal about how unhappy they are with the mandatory masks and social restrictions in our area. I've tried to be tolerant and always take social media posts with a grain of salt because it's hard to be nuanced. But today they went a step further and started calling the lockdown restrictions "communism" etc. There are hundreds of people dying daily from COVID where we live and hospitals are at their breaking point. I myself am a healthcare worker and am very worried about the safety of my colleagues and of people in our city.I've had conversations with this person (who is also in a distant social circle, think friend of a friend of a friend) previously about public health measures and how bad things are here and they were receptive. In this context, it is really disheartening to see them adopt this kind of discourse after all this. I am worried that they will not be safe on the day of the event, or that they will be an additional source of stress/risk to my loved ones.Has anyone experienced a situation like this? I would love to know how you handled it. It feels strange to consider terminating a relationship over divergent political/public health views but at this point, I do not trust this person to safely handle one of the most important days of our lives, and seeing them makes me angry.Would you terminate the relationship? We have already signed a contract (pre-pandemic) but still have several months until the wedding and they are easily replaceable.TL;DR - Wedding vendor does not believe in/adhere with lockdown rules, and continuing to work with them makes me very uneasy. Not sure whether it is fair or discriminatory to terminate the relationship based on this. via /r/weddingplanning https://ift.tt/3i03aBF
