Posting on here to hopefully find some glimmer of hope. My fiancé and I have been together for 10 years and got engaged last fall. Our wedding was originally planned for August 8th 2020, and obviously due to COVID, we postponed to May 2021. While the stress and worry of wondering if things will be better in August has gone away, a new stress demon of wondering if 2021 will even be okay has taken over. I would be absolute devastated if we had to cancel again.

Anyone else feel the same? I keep going back and fourth on “it’ll be totally fine, a year is a long way away!” to “omg this is really serious and no way can we go back to having normal gatherings”. I’ve just dreamed of this day for so long, and in no way do I want to have to cut my guest list or do a virtual wedding (I get so mad when people recommend that), I just really hope next year works out! Since I don’t have anyone else in my life right now going through this problem, I thought I would post this to see what others think of this issue. Much love!

From what I have heard, and understand is the human trials take 4-6 months from when they begin. ( some started in May) So once a vaccine goes into the final stages, it still takes a few months to get on the market. There are currently 9 possible vaccines in this stage. There are 2 vaccines in China and Russia that have proceeded to the next stage without waiting for any of the results from human trials. The vaccine demand will also be incredibly high. It will most likely go to at risk professions and high risk people first, then the general public. There will not be enough vaccines for everyone and anyone to have once it gets produced. I am not trying to be Debbie downer here, I’m just a realist and not counting on a vaccine be ready and easily available by spring 2021. And honestly if they skip results of human trials or rush the approval of the vaccine, I most certainly not going to get it right away. Not until there are a few months of data collected in human trials. And no I’m not anti vaccine, I am all vaccinated, with exception of the annual flu shot.
I’m still not stressing and just waiting it out. May 2021 is still a few months away, and anything can happen. February/March I’ll decide if we are cancelling the wedding or not (we may just elope if it is postponed again)
