Brides Getting Married in the Next 3 Months

Hey ladies! I’m getting married May 9th, 2020, and I’m just curious is anyone else still moving forward with their big day? I am going with the flow and still hoping for the best that our day doesn’t get postponed! I see a lot of brides out their postponing so it makes me question if I should be or if I’m crazy for not postponing?? Also, I’m from MN and so far we aren’t in lockdown. That would be the ONLY way I would postpone is if there was a lockdown during our big day! Otherwise we are rolling with the punches and going with the flow. What about everyone else??

    We're in CA and our wedding was scheduled for April 18. At our final walkthrough on 3/15, we discussed contingency plans with the venue. After discussing it with our parents, we decided to postpone to October. It was the right decision, in part bc the state issued the shelter in place order two days later through April 19 (it's since been extended to April 30). Luckily, all of our vendors were available.


    I mourned for a bit, since I've been planning this for over a year now, but I know our families were relived not to have to make a decision about traveling during this time. Good luck on your decision.

    My wedding is June 13 and I’m still going forward with my wedding. I did cancel my venue and I am actually using someone’s yard to get married in that way I don’t have to wait until May and see where we stand with our venue. My fiancé and I are actually more excited about doing things for our wedding than we were using the venue. I have literally waited 15 years on this and there is nothing stopping me at this point. We are just hoping all our family from out of state can get there to celebrate with us! 😊 good luck with your wedding in May!

    I say keep your faith in God strong. Petition the courts of heaven to silence this noise and show God strong and mighty. We are still planning as well. Trusting God for a break through because as it seems right now and always He is the only one with the answer.

    Mine is May 23 and we’re still going through with our plans unless someone tells us we absolutely can’t. We’re getting married either way but hoping to have it as we’ve planned it! With all the people! Or at least some of them

    We’re holding on as well, as our wedding date is not until June 27 so we’re keeping our fingers crossed! Our wedding venue has been very easy to work with and has even delayed the date our deposits are due. So far they are taking a wait and see attitude. We haven’t had our tasting yet so I’m not sure what’s going to happen with this. It is difficult but we are just going with the flow, as there’s nothing we can do about it We are having a fairly small wedding so it is not as difficult to change the date if we need to

    Hi there, were hoping to keep our date, I'm still holding out o. Sending our Invites out. Just found out the courthouse In our city is closed until further notice. So we cant get our marriage license, or even get married there. So disappointed!
    I don't know what to do at this point.

    Our wedding was originally planned for May 16, 2020. After a lot of consideration, we decided to postpone until August 21, 2020. We live in Alabama and were planning to get married in Tennessee, but we had a lot of family coming from other states as well. We decided that for our grandparents & other high risk guests that it would be better to wait until after all this is over *fingers crossed*!! It was the hardest thing I’ve ever had to do. Whether brides go through with their weddings in the next couple of weeks/months or not, I feel for all of us. The stress alone is so overwhelming! No little girl or little guy dreams of getting married in a pandemic! Much less getting so close & then having to completely move it around!!


    I think that whatever you do, it will be beautiful & amazing for you & your fiancé! Congratulations & Good Luck!!

    We are in lock down in Illinois until the end of April. My wedding is planned for 6/20/20 and will go forward if we can. My FH and I did decide to have an elopement on 4/10/20 though, with just us and our officiant (no witness needed in IL). We felt that with the crazy times and uncertainty we would rather solidify our bond sooner.

    My wedding was supposed to be next month, but planning has been thrown in to chaos with all this. I really think it is unlikely we're going to go back to normal by May. I've postponed mine to next year. We can start afresh planning that way. The venue thankfully has been accommodating.

    Our wedding is planned for May 23 in Syracuse New York. As of right now we are moving forward as scheduled. My shower was postponed from April 11 to May 9. and my Bach is more than likely canceled but I'm okay with that. Really just hoping we don't need to move our date! Playing it by ear and will decide by April 15th how to proceed and if we need to use our backup date of Aug 1. Best of luck to everyone!

    I was supposed to get married April 4th, but the governor put a limit on gatherings, and now there's a lock down. We post poned to June 6th, I'm praying things are better by then, I don't want to have to reschedule my wedding again!! This time we will be getting married regardless on June 6th. Whether we have to post pone again or not. I'm thinking of alternatives now as well.

    Were planning ours for june 21st right outside of glacier park, and the resort just sent me an email saying they're staying open during all of this. They have a no refund policy so were basically playing it all by ear.. if we have to postpone or cancel we will be doing so at the last minute. It's just too far out to predict what will happen! If we have to cancel and cant get refunded, we will have our wedding at our neighborhood lake on the same day next year, and do a mountain elopement with a few local friends, our kiddos, and the photographer we have booked on the original date this year. Having a backup plan has me feeling a lot better about all of it... still crossing my fingers for our wedding to go as planned for this year tho 🤞

    Did your venue ask for another deposit when you changed your date?

    No. They are part of a large university and make quite a lot of money on weddings for what seems like very little effort on their part, so I don't think they're hard up on cash like a smaller independent venue might be.

    If you are on not on lockdown and there are not a lot of things closed down I would deff continue. Here in Ohio we are in shelter in place a lot of brides are having to reschedule to 2021 on a Friday or a Sunday because their venues are booked for 2021.
