I held off giving my opinion in my original post but I think of this as a stopgap update- a small one before a big one this summer. It's about what I expected. At least we're getting an update of some kind, even if it's not what most of us were hoping for. Who knows what else may be coming with this one, maybe a few small tweaks and updates will come with it too- they've done that in the past for sure. I think it's fishy there's no mini direct and it's just an article of upcoming items- says to me more is on the way in June!
I do use a lot of the wedding items, I hope there are a few more usable items to use as decor. May Day and Museum Day will be fun as well- I rarely visit mystery islands or the museum anymore, at least there will be an excuse next month! Anything new is better than nothing imo!

I was also under the impression that they are going to hold out until E3. Makes sense to save it for that event.
Understandable that they didn't give us any trailer considering there's really nothing big coming. New items are always good to have and I am already excited for the koi windsock. And finally a stamp rally for the art gallery. Also Rover!
Man, this will be a long wait to E3...
This is my take on it. It's kinda just the same thing again so there's not much for me to hype about. Some of the new items look cute though at least!

Just thought I'd remind people that there is no guarantee of a big E3 update or a big summer update. I feel there's been a lot of people getting burnt on setting up expectations when Nintendo hasn't confirmed anything.
Nothing wrong with being optimistic, but do try to also be cautious at the same time.

Yay, I’m looking forward to the new items and to getting back some items that I sold/gave away. Plus I have created some alternate characters so I can collect some extras. I’m glad they added the Art section to the stamp event and I looove the wedding bell decoration.

I don’t know if this make me optimistic or pessimistic, but it is actually more new content than I expected 
Pleasantly surprised by the new maze for May Day, as I really enjoyed the one last year. Wedding day was my least favorite event last year (even though some of the mechanics - the extended duration, gathering the special event specific currency, having to travel to a separate location) were interesting and unique. But so I would prefer to have the new items in nook shopping to minimize my time playing the event.
very excited for the children’s day and other potential new seasonal items, the flags look so great!
like everyone is saying, given the e3 event coming up it seemed unlikely that we would get a huge update. This was pretty much the unlocking of the next two months seasonal content I expected, but I would say it exceeded my expectations in the amount of new content, limited though it is.

Loving that wedding bell and the fish windsock.
I'm glad the events are coming back and updated. (Rover seems to be in a different spot? Bit of a spoiler there.)
It's not a knock your socks off update, but I'll take it.
Also glad to see you can order the wedding items from the catalogue!

You are correct - it's not a current villager's house. I saw a person on Twitter speculate it might be a Zelda villager - specifically Wolf Link.
This is all just speculation, but I could see Nintendo making the Zelda 35th Anniversary part of their E3 presentation. If they did, they could announce Zelda villagers/items are coming to New Horizons as part of the Zelda anniversary celebration the same way they did with the Mario anniversary.
Edit: This was disproven/clarified by Nintendo later on in the thread

Yall don’t be too hopeful for a big E3 event! Idk, I just kinda feel it won’t happen or if it’ll happen it’ll be something small like this. At this point I just accepted it’ll be small updates with seasonal stuff only in the future

I scrolled through a list of all village exteriors and can confirm, that is a new one.

oooh, interesting. I mean, this could align with the whole new amiibo cards coming out rumors. Allegedly, it'll be 100 more, so it makes sense they'd add the Zelda ones.

Friendly reminder that Animal Crossing has always repeated events. They’ve always been the exact same every single year. So the fact that they’re being updated even a little bit is pretty amazing!
I’m really excited for that little newspaper hat to make a return. It was really trendy in New Leaf and I can’t wait to build outfits around it again!

Why is it so difficult for them to add new gameplay? I honestly do not understand. I'm not even excited about the items I'm seeing this time.
Funny if they think I'm going to even bother opening the game when it drops here, especially when MHR is getting an update with actual things to do on that day.
Surely they have to be planning something big for 2.0. If they aren't then I really just don't know anymore.

@Rosch and @Etown20 thank you for your investigating! Honestly when Youtubers and media outlets post things like "unknown villager house!" I swear sometimes they steal their findings from people here on TBT.
I feel a little more confident with this then say ACNH's 1 year anniversary update because with the one year, Nintendo never said a word about this and people just started speculating that Nintendo had to do something big. At least with E3 we know Nintendo will be there and announcing something, giving me a little more confidence it might include a big update for ACNH. But you're right, always proceed with caution when it comes to these updates unfortunately.

Kind of wish they changed up the events a little more so its not so repetitive. But I'm excited for the wedding day bells like others, and I am also hoping for cool seasonal items that I can use to spice up my island.
I'm looking forward to the May Day maze the most, though I was pretty terrible at it last year, I still had fun. I do wish they'd changed the museum event though, as I remember that every time I went to Blathers to have my fossils assessed he would mention it, even though I did it all on the first day thinking there would be new stuff to do every day.
