#Coronabrides, Postponing or Cancelling?

View Quoted Comment I hate to tell you this hun, but I live in Baton Rouge, LA and it's 80+ degrees daily here.. We also have a very high amount of cases. I just don't want you to get your hopes up, thinking when it gets warmer where you are, the cases will be less.. because, unfortunately, based on what's happening in Louisiana, that's not true.. I wish you the best of luck and no matter what happens I'm sure you and your husband to be will have n amazing ceremony/reception no matter what the case!! Sending love and prayers your way ❤️❤️❤️❤️

My wedding is July 4th but I was suppose to get my dress altered this week for it to be ready in time and I’ve had to stop planning due to everything being closed I hope that all this madness ends soon

View Quoted Comment I said the same thing! I know exactly where you are coming from 2021 is not a option for me

Thinking of all my brides out there!! We just rescheduled from May to September!!


When making the decision it was funny - I was telling my fiancé what I was reading about other brides doing on this forum. He is a doctor at an NYC hospital literally on the frontline battling covid everyday (I am so proud of him but of course this is an added stress everyday... I’m kind of falling apart) and he reminded me that no one really knows anything and that we don’t know anything for sure either, so we just have to make a decision and take it day by day. Some of his colleagues think it’ll be over by this May, with the peak coming in a week or two, others think it could be two years. All we can do is the best we can, take it day by day, and if you have to postpone or postpone again, so be it! I don’t know if that helps at all, but it was just something that helped me - knowing that no one really knows and you just have to make a decision and hope for the best. And social distance in the meantime!! I can’t even leave my apartment right now cause my FH is so exposed, I can’t risk it for others, but it is hard. Anyway, I digress. Some brides still haven’t postponed our old May 23rd date, some brides have already postponed our postponement date in September - trying to make sense of these decisions isn’t all that helpful. I have already gotten push back in both directions (“why not just wait until July? September is so far away!” Vs. “do you really think September is far enough”?). All I know is every bride has to make the decision for themselves - based on what is best for them, the health of their loved ones and their peace of mind! One day at a time and just lots of hopes and prayers!!!
Another thing that helped me was realizing I could just try to get pregnant anyway, as a woman in my early thirties. Probably won’t but if the wedding has to get postponed again, then we will just start trying. Not what I envisioned but life takes over sometimes. If I couldn’t drink onmy wedding day, wouldn’t be the end of the world.
Wishing everyone the best!!!

I also moved my wedding from June 13 to August 22. Hopefully everything is clear by then. Everyone stay safe

View Quoted Comment I just wish I knew what to do!!

View Quoted Comment Thank you for this! I think we are on the same page on the baby front! Biggest reason I don’t want to put my original date of Sept 5th off! Hope it works out for us all. And very special thanks to your fiancé for being on the frontlines and saving lives every day! He is a hero. I’m in Buffalo NY and while it’s scary here I know how much scarier it is there!! Bless him and you!

View Quoted Comment Thank you !

We just postponed from June 20 to August...not a huge leap, but enough time to see if there is some hope that a 50+ gathering is possible.

View Quoted Comment Me too. There's so much uncertainty...but I mean, there is uncertainty for next year too. They are speculating 3 to 4 waves of this and I don't know everyone else's personal preferences, but I'm not OK with waiting 2 years to get married. So I am going to stick to schedule and if the time comes closer and we have to reschedule then we have to reschedule. My ONLY concern are vendors...I don't want to lose money if vendors aren't willing to work with me if a reschedule is needed. So I'll be calling all of them before I make any further payments and clarify their policies on this.

We still have our date set for June 5th but are ready to move it if need be to some time in July or August. This is the second time we've changed our date and hope to just get married soon.

So much love to my fellow 2020 brides ♥️♥️

View Quoted Comment I completely understand! Being a month later in October, we’ve fully planned wedding “A” and have moved on to wedding “B” because of everyone saying this will last until spring of 2021

We were supposed to be married June 14th, 2020 and after weeks of agonizing we made the decision to reschedule. We felt like it was the responsible thing to do to ensure that our guests would feel comfortable and be safe celebrating with this.

Things may have calmed down a bit by June, but it’s not going to be gone and to us we did not want our wedding to have anything but joy associated with it. It’s not worth the risk to us. Even if we could still have our wedding it is very likely that there would be limitations on the number of guests and even at that we felt like we would still be putting people at risk.

Our new date is June 13, 2021. SO far away 😩 We went from 66 days to 430 days just like that lol We are crushed, but we know in our hearts we made the right decision. Thinking of all you brides out there going through the same thing. Love is patient as we will get through this! We will just have to party twice as hard next year! Stay safe everyone!

View Quoted Comment Agree completely!

View Quoted Comment It’s a good plan. I have to really start looking at my options.

Thankfully we got married on February 22 before the quarantine

That sounds like a good plan! We want something more laid back too. Our original plan was a smaller wedding, but it grew so I'm trying look on the bright side that at least I'm getting that again.

I'm planning to wear my dress to the courthouse and for pictures, I haven't decided yet if I should wear it again for our celebration dinner or wear my rehearsal dinner dress.

We were supposed to get married May 30th with 300 guests. We live in Santa Barbara County California and it seems things are not getting better here. We decided to postpone however we are not sure what new date to choose. I'm thinking end of September but a part of me also thinks that might be too soon?and I am not willing to go into the next year at this time. Definitely feeling the pressure right now with all the moving parts and things to consider. Be safe everyone and sending you all positive vibes.

We were supposed to get married on May 8th and postponed to July 17th. I thought postponing would give me peace of mind but it's done anything but. Who knows it things will be ok by July, and if so, will people be comfortable in a large social setting? Waiting until next year isn't really an option since we want to start a family sooner rather than later. Just a month ago I was having my first dress fitting and getting so excited and now the excitement is just gone. We also had to cancel our honeymoon. Hang in there fellow 2020 brides!
