#Coronabrides, Postponing or Cancelling?

View Quoted Comment

I have the same date! Fingers crossed by then things have calmed down.

View Quoted Comment Ugh, you make so many good points! I have waited sooo long for this and putting things off a whole year would change so much in terms of our plans to start a family etc. it’s just so hard to know! I think we will wait another month and then decide. 🤞🏼 Stay strong and safe

View Quoted Comment Please keep me posted if you make any decisions or hear from a vendor or anything about changing your date! I’m so nervous!

View Quoted Comment That’s our thing too... we want to try for another baby in 2021 so this really puts a dent in things. You too girl! We’re all in this together lol

Hi ladies!


I feel like I can officially say this is hands down the most popular post I’ve made on wedding wire lol. I was thinking about something yesterday that shedded more light on my decision to postpone to late August. First off, a lot of brides who are cancelling their fall weddings are likely doing it because they don’t have a good chunk of their planning down— such as getting a dress, their bachelorette party, details, etc.. For brides who have rescheduled to later this year, it’s likely that we have a majority of our details planned! We went to Kona for my bachelorette weekend the last week of February, and I’m so grateful we did. It’s likely that we’re done planning, we’re just waiting to get married at this point, whereas brides who have cancelled are likely not done planning, and need more time.
Secondly, I really think we need to experience what these next two weeks are going to be like, as this is supposed to be the very very worst of it. After every storm there’s a rainbow, right? I genuinely can’t imagine that it would take over a year for this rainbow to arrive. But think about it— in August, school is supposed to start with lecture halls and all, concerts will likely still happen, and grocery stores will start allowing people in at any given time vs. only allowing ten in a time. If people feel comfortable going back to their office by the end of summer, I think people will be comfortable attending a wedding (of course, not everyone, but I’m assuming a fair amount of people). And I’m not a psychic— I can’t predict if this will all comes to fruition! But what I’m saying is that I genuinely can’t imagine our current lives, quarantined and all, to remain the same until the end of the year. I just can’t. I’ll continue to hold on to my faith and hope and pray for the best for each and every one of us!

We are September 25,2020 & I'm scared.

I haven't talked to my venue yet, I wanted to wait it out. But I honestly have no idea what to do. If possible, I'd like to push it back. But I was hoping all of this would clear before the big day.

We postponed our May 30th date to September 5th. We are hoping everything is back to normal by then

I am scheduled for July 18th a beach wedding so praying I dont have to move my date. If we do we will probably only get married by our jp and have my kids

We postponed our wedding til August the 1st.

View Quoted Comment I agree. My wedding is scheduled for June 6th in Vegas. I haven’t canceled yet and will be making a decision by the end of April. I’m so disappointed about all of this. As you said, the joy that a woman normally has about her wedding date has been shattered due to thus pandemic. I wish you the best with your wedding as we go through these uncertain times.

View Quoted Comment Same wedding date, June 20th!!! I’m keeping my fingers crossed. We haven’t canceled yet but hoping everything will be ok by the date.

I think we are going to postpone but the only date available for both the venue and the church is november 21

We haven't either and my partner keeps saying we will be fine, so I am hoping. Good Luck to you!

I can’t imagine what all of your brides are going through right now! I’m not getting married until December 5, 2020 and I’m freaking out! The forum is keeping me connected, so thank you for posting!!!


I am a nurse and right now I do not have much time to think about a Plan B for the wedding! However my fiancé and I are not living together and planned on I am home this summer and so this is extremely worrisome ! My fiancé is out of work which makes me even more concerned about our situation!

I have the same wedding date as you girl and I definitely feel your same stress - except I am not rushing to start a family. But i can't imagine adding that stress in as well! What we did was speak to our venue about holding a Plan B date in 2021 and making a decision at the end of June. They were open to it. And we only are going to lose one of our vendors, which sucks but is the best that we could do! Maybe do that, to give you a little reassurance and that way you can continue to plan regardless!

View Quoted Comment We are going to weigh all of our options by the end of the month and go from there! 🙏🏼

I'm still waiting to hear back from the Coordinator about availability at my venue. Our date was 6/6, lookingbto move it to October. Fingers crossed!!!

My wedding was supposed to be on September 5th- we just decided to postpone to next year... October 9, 2021 so we won't feel so stressed with the planning since everything is closed and not sure how long it will take for us to go back to our normal life... wishing you guys good luck with the decision if you guys decide to postpone... you will feel better!

View Quoted Comment May 9th here too! We cancelled our date. Once the courthouses reopen (hopefully in a few weeks) we will legally get married. We are planning on having a vow renewal October 11th. I will still wear my wedding dress and we will have elements of a wedding. Hoping to have a more flexible and laid back event

View Quoted Comment I’m glad you came to a decision. I just wish I knew what was right and what life will look like by summer to finish everything off. Luckily I have almost everything planned and secured minus a couple things. Good luck to you!
