Brides Getting Married in the Next 3 Months

View Quoted Comment How long are they holding the July 11th date for you? Our date is July 25th and all of the doctors & APNs I work with are telling me not to make any harsh decisions and to wait this thing out. I think if everyone will follow CDC guidelines and continue social distancing throughout April, the worst of this will hopefully be over and we’ll start rebounding 🙁
We are going to wait until June 1st to make an ultimate decision to change our reception day but we will be getting married at the court house on July 25th if all else fails.

My wedding is also 5/9/2020 and from a brides propective I planned on going along with my regular day as planned but the nurse in me help me make the decision to postpone our wedding and I’m glad I did because my venue told me they didn’t have anymore Saturday this year because a lot of people were postponing and if I wouldn’t have changed it it would have to be postponed to next year. My thing is better safe than sorry so now our wedding will be on a Sunday

View Quoted Comment Hey Mia!
Sorry you had to reschedule so many times. What’s your new date!? Our wedding is in October and we were planning on mailing out our invitations in May. I’m so nervous 😩. I feel your anxiety. Be strong and keep praying and wash your hands!!

View Quoted Comment Blessing Swain! Im so happy for you! I’m getting married in October and I’m trying to discuss with my fiancé an alternative date just in case we have to reschedule.

View Quoted Comment Hi Pia, our date is set for June 20, 2020. Thank you for the encouragement. We are supposed to send our invites out around 20th of April. I'm afraid to send them out, but my groom says he's waited long enough even if we have to go to courthouse. Guess we will wait and see, I'm hopeful.

I’m a May 9th bride too. Our venue told us yesterday that we have to either cancel or reschedule. I’m in WA. We decided to go to the courthouse (if it’s open by then) on May 9th and get married that way, and then we rescheduled our venue to August, so we will have a reception and vow renewals then. It sucks, I’m upset, but we have no control over this. I’m wearing my wedding dress to the courthouse so it feels at least a bit special. Good luck, I hope you don’t have to move your wedding!

View Quoted Comment HiKatlin great idea! I’m thinking about dying the same.

View Quoted Comment Hey Mia! Send them and also exclude a note that you all are following the coronavirus and if they’re any updates you’ll advise. If you have a wedding website also put up that info there as well.

View Quoted Comment Oh ok we do have a website too, I will be sure to include that ongo. Thanks

Its such a tough call. our wedding is planned for june 13, 2020 and while it seems far enough out that we shouldnt have to postpone, anything can change as we see happening on a daily basis. here in CA our venue has had to cancel/postpone all weddings planned through april 19 due to the shelter-in-place ordinance, but that could very well extend through may if things don't improve.

i think my fiance and I will have to make a decision by end of april whether or not we will postpone if things do not improve. our venue books out a year in advance under normal circumstances, so if we do end up having to postpone it'll be for 2021 sadly.

if your venue isnt forced to close their doors, then i say continue on as planned, however, keep in mind that maybe not all of your confirmed guests will come in light of the outbreak. best to keep communicating with your venue, vendors and guests as you get closer to your date.

your wedding day is important, it is something you've spent countless hours planning down to every last detail. please do not feel guilt for how you react over potentially having to postpone. if you are sad, angry, stressed... please know your feelings and emotions are valid. you are allowed to be angry, to be stressed, to be sad and crying. you are not alone. DO NOT let this situation eat away at your joy even if you must postpone.

Well ladies I pulled the plug today...we are still getting married at our family home with a small group on our original day...however we will have a big reception and renewal of our vows on July 17th. Hoping by then this all will have settled down and we can have all our guest come!! Super sad to have had to come to this decision but I think it’s for the best and at least I still get to marry my best friend on our original day! Hope everyone is hanging in there and doing well!

Hi Bethany, Date twins! We are in the same mind set about still getting married that day, just with our immediate familys and post pone the reception later. It comes out to 15 people but could cut down to 10 if we had to.. Question for you, how long are you waiting to officially cancel your dance? My original thought was that I didn't want to wait too long to give people a heads up.. but if I cancel on April 13th and everything is good on May 1st I'm going to feel really silly canceling

View Quoted Comment Hey Michaela,

Yeah the timeline is tricky since the situation changes daily.

Our invitations were already printed so I think I will send them by April 13 (instead of first week of April- everyone already received save the dates) but we will be adding in an insert saying we are closely following the situation and everyone’s health is our top priority etc. and then I think we will make the final decision by May 1st.
I’m working with all of my vendors to schedule a “back up date.”
Either way will require more communication than a normal wedding but it’s what we came up with for now. But A LOT could change between now, April 13 and May 1st.
Bead of luck date twin! Let me know if you have better ideas too! Haha

This I think also varies by state. I live in Ohio and weddings are exempt from the gatherings. It is a recommendation to have the big gathering later, but it is not law. I am not supposed to get married until June 6th and I just keep planning like everything's going fine. This is such a stressful time. Keep your head up girl! It's going to be perfect and beautiful!

Hi there, so sorry you are going through this too, you're not alone! I've just posted a lengthy message regarding this issue. I think it would really help you to read it.

Hi! I was supposed to get married on May 8th as well and unfortunately had to make the difficult decision to postpone it to 7/17. My bridal shower was supposed to be on Sunday 4/5 and that has also been postponed. I'm not even sure if I'll be having one now since everywhere is booked. It's been such a roller coaster of emotions the past few weeks. Try and stay positive, safe and healthy!

View Quoted Comment Hello, Jennifer


I have a question: Is your venue letting you pick a future date without requiring another deposit? My wedding is in June and they offered me to move my date wherever there is an opening but wanted to charge me another large deposit because they said they were a city venue and needed to cater to earlier brides. I understand they want to help other brides but we have completely paid are venue and question whether they should charge us again to move our date?

Great idea and thanks for sharing!

Our wedding is June 13, 2020 and we are moving ahead with sending our the invites but using the wording of another bride here as an insert about the virus. if we need to we too are getting married that day and maybe postponing the reception and re-do of the ceremony at a later date. stay hopeful and well-Cheryl

My wedding is in August in LA and haven’t posted but I’m having a mix feelings right now cus I’m scared I’ll have to cancel if things don’t go back to normal. I was supposed to order my invitations already this month but I just have everything on hold even my dress is on hold 😭
