Some of you may have heard by now (I found out through a post on WW) that the cicadas are coming out full force this year in May. Those that aren't aware, gazillllllionnnns of cicadas come out from the ground every 17 years when the soil hits 64 degrees. They come out and attach themselves to branches, mate, lay eggs and then go away by 6 weeks. It happens in about 15 states with Kentucky being one of them, which is where we will be getting married. Outside. In the woods 😂😂😂



I've already spoken to my DOC, my photographers and videographers and I've mentally come to terms with all the dead cicada bodies and the deafening sound they will make through our vows lol. I understand they aren't harmful in any way, but billions of cicadas wasn't something that I had prepared for LOL.

I've been told there really isn't anything you can do with cicadas, especially when there will be so many of them.... but.... I just wanted to know if any of you guys have planned anything for it? Like has any of your venues come up with a game plan that you guys can share with me? Thank you!

    I’m getting married June 13th in Ohio. I’m praying they won’t be bad, because the ceremony will be under this beautiful tree. When you look at the map for where the will be, my location in Ohio is bad...

    How did things turn out? I’ve been thinking about this thread since the cicadas seem to be in the news a lot lately.

    Hello Donna!


    Everything went great! Luckily the weather was cold longer than it usually was for that time of the year so the cicadas stayed under ground for a few more days and missed our wedding!!

    It was amazing. I also had an outdoor ceremony. It rained at the time of the ceremony but plan B (covered patio) went off without a hitch. Everyone commented how beautiful everything turned out.
