Will my sponsorship be impacted by one parent and some relatives not being able to attend wedding due to Covid-19?

I had my wedding in India in January and then I applied for outland sponsorship once I came back. This was an arranged marriage (common in our culture). My mother has a health condition, so we didn't feel it was safe for her to travel to India during the wedding as it could've been risky for her. My father went, and my wife's parents were both there too. There's a section in the application where they ask if anyone didn't attend the wedding and I wrote about why my mother couldn't come. Some other relatives couldn't come from outside of India too because of Covid as it's just so hard to travel during this pandemic time. Will my mother (and some other relatives) not being present impact the sponsorship application in anyway? Appreciate any advice.

Not an issue but would put a short explanation about how covid affected your wedding plans.

Sounds good. That section on the relationship questionnaire form where they ask details on who couldn't attend, I provided an explanation for my mother and other relatives outside India. Will that suffice you think?
