Brides Getting Married in the Next 3 Months

Our wedding was originally 4/19/20 but we moved it to 8/23/20. I’m not going to lie, I’m still extremely nervous that that won’t be far enough in the future and we probably should have taken a later date. I don’t know what I’m going to do if I have to change it again. I’m already struggling as is with the extra five months. We were so close it’s causing a lot of stress and fights too.

My wedding is May 15th and I'm in Oregon so we're dealing with a partial lockdown. My fiance and I decided to live forward with our date even if we have to elope. We may postpone the big celebration until next year. Hope everything works out for your big day!

We are also in Minnesota. We are getting married May 30th, we just sent out the invites so we are still moving forward unless my vendors decide to back out. The number of positives are slowly rising in MN so I am hoping everything will be done by May

Hi! Our wedding was scheduled for May 8th and made the difficult decision to postpone to July 17th. We are in New York so obviously we are getting hit the hardest. Not only can't we get a marriage license, but the CDC also recommended that people postpone or cancel events for the next 8 weeks of 50+ or more guests so we literally felt like we had no choice. We also wanted to get ahead of it and let guests who were coming from out of town so that they can change their flights and hotels. This is just such an unprecedented time and my heart breaks for all of us brides! But there is a light at the end of the tunnel. We just have to have faith and stay positive!

Time for a deep breath and prepare yourself to switch gears and put yourself in the shoes of your guests. The elderly may opt out and the elderly are usually close family, at least it was in our case. Our wedding was scheduled for 4/18. However, the thought of not having some of our closest family there because they were afraid of becoming ill was enough for us to postpone and now our wedding will be in August. Hopefully by then things will be better. Now that the date has moved I’m a lot less stressed and have received positive feedback from guests as they too are relieved. Brides please consider your elderly guests. Is it worth following through with your wedding if they can’t attend or even worse, get sick from attending?

Below is a helpful article and assures brides to be that during the time of crisis vendors are being extremely flexible. And instead of redoing invites, I’m sure guests will understand if you send out an email (BCC of course) and keep them updated. Lastly, depending on the state, it’s not worth incurring fines for hosting an event.


Best of luck to you all in this time of uncertainty.

Our wedding is scheduled for 6/13 and have invited around 500 guests. We have the opportunity to move things pretty seamlessly to July 11th. Anything past that would postpone things until at least December (when the virus could start up again?). Does anyone think it would be a good idea to go ahead and move to July 11th? Things could calm down a lot in the next few weeks. But, I also keep thinking that if this thing is still going strong in June, what are the chances it's died down by July. Decisions, decisions! I feel for everyone in this boat. Obviously, there are more serious things than a wedding and people are dealing with so much more, but still stressful for everyone. Who would have thought anything like this could have happened when we started planning these weddings?! I guess it will make for good stories one day!

I’m getting married in Orlando Florida and my date is set for April 26. I was going crazy thinking if to postpone or not but we decided to make a smaller wedding with just family and very close friends. My guest list was 200 now it’s 70. I think it gives me more of a chance if it happening.

June 6th we postponed to august 8th 😩😪

View Quoted Comment I would postpone because I think the social distancing will still be going on. Plus more guests are likely to come if you push it out a bit. We were 6/6 now 8/8. 😪😩

Thanks for the advice. I think we may end up doing that. Sorry you had to reschedule yours as well!

I was suppose to get married may 16th and I am postponing do to having family in Washington state that cant fly and also family in new York. I'm hoping to move wedding at end of summer and hope everything is opening back up.

If you aren’t in lockdown, I would go forward with it but take precautions!

We are set to be married in Outer Banks, NC on June 28th! Fingers crossed our venue still allows that to happen. We are having a very small wedding with 25 guests but our entire family is coming from NY and VT. Stay strong, ladies! ❤️

I'm so sorry you're all dealing with this, it's such a crazy uncertain and emotional time! You're all in our thoughts!

My wedding is supposed to be May 24. I've reached out to all of our vendors and they are all open to the possibility of us pushing back the date. But it's so hard to know when it will be safe again... I don't know how to decide a new date.

Our date is 5/23, and we haven’t decided yet. We sent letters to our invite list that we haven’t made the decision to postpone but we are taking it into consideration. Fortunately the reception was going to be very casual, so the venue will be a non-issue if we have to reschedule, and when I reached out to the caterer they were very understanding and supportive of whatever decision we end up making.
We agreed to get married on our wedding date one way or another (I got the date engraved on his ring so we’re locked in! Ha!), my worry right now is if things are still in full blown lockdown, will we have trouble getting a marriage license?
Trying to just wait and see, but the uncertainty is so, so hard. FH got laid off today to top it all off, so I’m having a really hard time.

View Quoted Comment Hi carina,


I’m in Rochester NY, where are you?? We are August 22 and I’m waiting it out at this point but having the same issues with my shower and bachelorette. Im a healthcare provider too and my fiancé is a first responder so we haven’t even had the time to think about rescheduling 😭

View Quoted Comment Love the wedding insert invite idea, Jennifer!
My wedding is June 20, 2020 and we are praying, staying positive and moving forward as planned. I am happy to see other brides are doing the same and I hope it works out for all of us!

View Quoted Comment Hi Emily!


Thank you to you and your fiancé both for your service and bravery during this crazy time! We’re August 8 and from Upstate New York near Utica. Wedding is in Syracuse. Truly hoping everything works out for the day of...I can pass on the other stuff. But rescheduling is terrifying right now! Our saving grace is that many April and May brides have rescheduled to August...so hopefully that’s a positive sign! Probably going to wait until May before looking further to definitely reschedule or not. Best of luck to you! Fingers crossed for both of us!
