April/may brides

We're in Chicago and the 50 person or less rule was mandated in our state. So we are forced to postpone our 4/18 date because we couldn't imagine our wedding without everyone there to celebrate. Still working on rescheduling but will plan on getting married on our original date with parents and siblings. Got our marriage license on Monday- advice to get yours for those who haven't. Our county's licenses are valid for 60 days. I've heard of some cities that are stopping the issue of licenses all together.

My wedding is supposed to be 4/4 and we’ve decided to postpone. most of my vendors were willing to reschedule within 6 months at no cost, but we want to postpone a year. we were going to try to get our marriage license today to keep our date but the clerk of court is closed until 3/27 in orlando. i knew we should’ve gone to get it last week

My fiancé and I are getting married on May2nd, we made sure to get our marriage license before the clerk's office closes. We decided to basically do an elopement with our 2 closest friends and officiant on our wedding day and then celebrate later this summer with our friends and family. All of our vendors have been SUPER helpful and supportive and are willing to push back the dates and accommodate as much as they possibly can.

View Quoted Comment Ours is also in Oklahoma 5/30/2020. I just got my invitation in the mail today and I’m heartbroken knowing that we may have reschedule. I’m afraid if we don’t reschedule now and have to do it later we may not get the date we want. I’m afraid with 80% of our guests having to travel they may not be able to for various reasons. I know getting married is the important thing I’d just hate to have close to 10k out for a wedding that very few can attend, also will we be able to get a marriage license? As of now our court is closed until further notice.... so torn.

I am getting married 5/30/2020 as well, but in WI. I am so torn too. Im worried the longer I wait, the farther out we will have to postpone. If we postpone, my fiance doesn't want to wait to get married. He wants to go down to the courthouse, but WI prohibits any gathering over 10 people right now. I want at least our parents and siblings there, but that would put it over 10 people. I been trying to find loop holes. I just want the wedding day that I planned on having. I hate not having any control over the situation.

View Quoted Comment I’m so sorry. It’s a tough decision. I was afraid if we waited much longer everyone else would get the future dates we may want. It’s so close and too many unknowns right now for us. We just had our first confirmed case in the county yesterday, so I expect it to get worse here as far as restrictions before it gets better. I hope you get the wedding you planned for ♥️

View Quoted Comment Our wedding is suppose to be May 23, 2020 in the suburbs north of Atlanta. Neither of us have family in the state only friends. 90-95% of our invited guests are traveling an minimum of 3.5hrs to over 12hrs to come. Due to it being a holiday weekend and large number of guest traveling I mailed my invites out like 2-3 weeks ago and then a pandemic happened.
We don’t know what to do, to we wait do we postpone. The dates we were given were Fridays or Sunday’s in June July or August, all of which kinda suck.
I don’t know what to do and when to just pull the plug. I have cried selfish tears and yelled at my fiancé for saying hey we have more time to save. I wanted to get married before I turned 30 and now that doesn’t look like it’s going to happen. Any advice?

View Quoted Comment I know you probably don’t want to hear this but you fiancé is right, it will give you more time to save. I would think about a few things 1. Would you rather be married before 30 and possibly not having many there, or be married a little later and celebrate with most of your loved ones? 2. Will you even be able to get a marriage license? Right now our court house is closed to the public. It’s a hard decision. This will be my second marriage but first wedding, my ex husband decided after I bought my dress and started making wedding plans that he just wanted to go to Vegas. I was heartbroken but went with it, never wore that dress. So I was so excited this time, got a new dress, had everything planned only to not get to do it again 😢. Whatever you choose, it will all work out how it should. ♥️

So we went ahead with postponing until 8/24. Hoping this is died down by then but I’m nervous it still won’t be. It sucks we’re all having to go through this but it helps to know we’re all in the same boat together! At least now we have more time to save and plan to make it bigger and better than before!

We're May 23 in B'ham Alabama! We haven't made the final decision to postpone, but we have everything ready for when/if we do (looking more like "when"). We'll be moving everything to October 23. It stinks, but I think it'll work out. It'll be during fall break for my medical school and the day after our 7 year anniversary. We'll probably go ahead and get legally married, but does that mean our anniversary should be the 23rd of May or October? I would have loved for our wedding celebration and legal stuff to match.
