#Coronabrides, Postponing or Cancelling?

View Quoted Comment My vendors are trying to charge rescheduling fees... I think it’s so messed up! If I end up having to reschedule my wedding, it won’t be because I chose to... It will be because there’s a GLOBAL PANDEMIC. I feel like they’re taking advantage of the situation.

View Quoted Comment This was my date too! just rescheduled to June 26, 2021. I feel much better, but it’s still disappointing. Good luck with everything!

View Quoted Comment Ugh!! 😩 I hear you! But it feels good to have so much support in this tough decision! Hopefully us changing the dates will workout great! Good luck to you as well, we will get through this!!

As of now we are keeping our June date...…….. Praying for normalcy to be returned by then.... If not we will do the wedding with parents and sibling and postpone the reception

View Quoted Comment Did all of your vendors refund you? Ours are only doin credit towards a future date. (Except venue, they issued us a full refund.)

Our date is 10.10.2020 and we are seriously considering postponing until 2021. With all the uncertainty in the world who knows what the fall will bring.


We have guests traveling from out of state, who will need to fly and stay in hotels. Some of which are in healthcare and dealing with the virus daily and said they may not come if there isn’t a vaccine in fear they could contaminate.

FH has been laid off since the casinos in Vegas are closed. He hasn’t received any unemployment yet so all the financial burden of daily expenses and wedding expenses are on me and what we have saved.

Our contract with our venue states if we want to postpone and not lose what we’ve already paid, we have to do so 180 out from the original wedding date. 180 days for us is this coming Monday. We’ve asked if this can be pushed out and they agreed to do so to May 1. They also said they are being lax about that policy but won’t really elaborate. We don’t want to be a few weeks or months out and lose everything we’ve paid because of all the uncertainty.

I (we) feel more confident when I think about postponing then I do hoping to have our wedding as planned.

Hi all!! I was also supposed to get married a week from now (April 18) in the Philadelphia area, with half our guests traveling from nyc/nj. I live in NYC, so I feel as though I have been in the thick of it. We originally postponed to May 23. Then we quickly postponed again until August 1. I have already gone on my bachelorette and had my showers, so I was able to experience a lot of the bridal excitement leading up to the virus. My mother is a doctor in the city of Philadelphia and has been spot on in terms of her predictions as to how my wedding would play out. Starting in February she was convinced I would have to postpone (or cancel) my April 18th wedding. She is pretty certain life will continue to move to “normal” or what will be our new normal by the end of June/beginning of July (of course it’s hard to imagine us ever going back to pre-covid ways, so pre-covidnormal may not exist anymore after all of this). Of course after reading a lot of different posts on here, I have questioned my August 1st decision, but I am also hopeful that it is still only mid-April. I think I am okay with August too, because I have all of my planning done, and prior to this, I only had one dress fitting left. I think when the next waves of this virus come (because it most definitely will come back), we can be cautiously optimistic that it won’t be as bad as it is right now. I think all our July and August brides shouldn’t feel selfish for wishing to continue as planned, but also be okay with some guests not wanting to attend. Also take a look at this website! https://covid19.healthdata.org/united-states-of-america Hope this might ease some anxious brides!

Yes we had to go witb a different date

First and foremost, I feel terribly bad for all of you brides & grooms who’s wedding day was affected by Covid-19, as well as the couples who had to reschedule your big day!


I would be lying if I said that I didn’t think about the wedding every single day, but at the same time, I will lose my deposit if I’m the one who decides to move the date, so I’m just going to let due process take place and hope that restrictions are lifted by that point! We’re sticking to our original date in October, and it may be just the two of us! We may lost a of the money, energy, and time we have invested over the last couple of years that we have dedicated to this wedding, but at the end of the day, but we’re fortunate in the fact that we have each other, and our health ... in a time where husbands and wives can’t even say “goodbye” to each other, we still have a lot to be thankful for!

10 days for us. We decided to have our union blessed on "our" day and when everything opens back up do a renewal or recommitment ceremony for the legal side. That way we will have two anniversary days in the future! The first will be the love, the second the commitment to put our marriage first.

We have our wedding date set for 9/19/20. Everything is already booked and ready to go. I have been really stressing out with everything going on because the planning process has been so fun and easy for us thus far. We plan to have a wedding of 250+. As of now we are waiting until April is over to think of changing anything. If we need to, we will have a small ceremony on our wedding day and then have our big reception sometime next spring or summer. It has been hard to come to terms with, but it sucks knowing there's nothing any of us can do but wait and see. Praying that everyone will get to have their special day this year! ❤

We were supposed to have our wedding April 25th but we have postponed it until June 20th. Now that I see more comments, others are waiting until August and so forth. So worried ill have to postpone even further.

Hi there!!

Our wedding date is set for July 18th. We have been planning our wedding for a long time (we have been engaged for 2.5 years) and do not want to reschedule. Figuring out what to do has been really hard on us. We are going to get in contact with all of our vendors this week to see what our options are in terms of deposits and when we will have to make a decision by.

We decided that if our original plans are effected, we will cancel the wedding and have a small ceremony at a family member's home and hold a large reception/ party the following year. Our immediate family members can also be there via zoom. We have waited to get married and have already postponed from last year. We can always re-new our vows at a later date. We just want to call each other husband and wife, and want to start our lives together. xo

We're July 17 and haven't officially postponed yet. Our venue wanted us to put a back up date on hold incase this isn't all over by July. Luckily every one of our vendors is available on our back up date so that makes this way less stressful. We're still going to get married on our original wedding date with immediate family regardless if we can have our party or not.

View Quoted Comment You took the words right out of my mouth. I feel selfish for feeling robbed when people have lost their loved ones. The wedding excitement has come to a stop as well and it’s hard to keep moving forward when there is so much uncertainty. My wedding isn’t until August 15th, but the joy leading up to this date, Isn’t there anymore . This situation is all just so sad.

Post poning our May 30th to August 16th. Going to try to have a small wedding ceremony at the chapel with our parents on the 30th, if we are allowed. If not, we will move everything. So much anxiety around all of this.

My wedding was May 9 th I postponed to July 25th. I was trying to hold on to see what May would be like and I don’t think I would be ready not alone the world.

View Quoted Comment I feel you!! Our wedding was scheduled for May 30, 2020 and we canceled and are now looking at this as an opportunity to truly have that “dream” wedding! And now many venues are still open for next year 😊 trying to remain positive!
