#Coronabrides, Postponing or Cancelling?

View Quoted Comment Mine is June 13th too! We haven’t made a decision yet and honestly I just keep avoiding it but in the back of my mind I feel like it’s inevitable. I just don’t know how long to wait...our venue says they will be open May 4th, but really? That doesn’t sound very realistic. I agree with you, worst wedding experience!! I am thankful I am healthy and everyone in my family is healthy but definitely can’t help feeling like this is unfair.

OMG! Ours was supposed to be June 13 too. Our officiant has said that we would just do a private ceremony if we want then have the celebration after. However, if come month end there is no end in sight we have decided to push to August We are truly hoping for the best

We were to be married in Playa Del Carmen, MX in 2021...yes, still a longtime off. We picked a high demand venue and paid a booking fee to save our date. Since this pandemic we have had an influx of guests telling us they were uncomfortable traveling internationally for our wedding...eventhough it is a year off.

3 days ago we cancelled our booking and vendor contracts.

10 days ago I was furloughed. We are now using our wedding savings for bills/housing.

So with all of this, we are moving the wedding into 2022 so that we can start saving again after everything returns back to normal.

I know our wedding was still a year away, I am deeply sympathetic for all the couples that have lost their big days!

View Quoted Comment I feel your pain! My wedding is June 6th and we just don't know if we should get hitched and then do a reception later...try to make it happen on time..or just postpone the whole thing. How are you dealing with the stress?

Re: postponing to august! just to let you know where our head is at....ours is in august, and we are strongly considering postponing. I just don't think people will be back on their feet by that time, and different locations may be experiencing peaks or still large influxes of cases after the initial social distancing is lifted.

I was originally May 8th. Moved to August 9th. If things wouldn’t be normal looking come August, we’re just going to get married and maybe have a small party later.

Just postponed my June 6 wedding to November 7. So sad and I hope all this is long gone by then!

We finally made it official moving our May 24th wedding to October 18. We sent out a 'change the date' via email and received so many kind responses of encouragement and thanking us for making this decision. I'm do concerned things won't be ok by then. My mom has told me numerous times to just elope and can surprise them all in October that we're married and if it doesn't go through then at least we're married. We'll see when the marriage bureaus end up opening.

geeeeeez

I made the decision this week to postpone. Original date was May 30, 2020, new date is July 18, 2020.

We just decided to postpone. Our original date was August 14, 2020 and we moved it over a year to October 1, 2020. There are so many reasons why we decided to postpone and ultimately I just couldn’t handle all of the stress and unknowns. As people have mentioned there may be restrictions on amounts of people, and we were supposed to have a 200+ buffet. I’d rather just push the wedding a year and have it the way I envisioned. There are so many positives for us moving it as well so I’m just thinking of it as a blessing in disguise for us.

We're having a small, immediate family-only 10-person ceremony on the original date (May 9th) and moving the reception to August 29th. This whole thing has been so heartbreaking, I'm so sorry for all of us having to go through this.

Our date is May 23rd. We were going to have a big wedding but now we’re just going to have a small 10 person wedding. We’re not pushing our date back!

We were supposed to get married on. 5/2, but postponed to 8/1. None of us really know what this virus will do, even these so-called experts, but hopefully in the next few months things will be back to normal!

View Quoted Comment We are planned for Sept 4th. Am just taking day by day at this point. I still am considering rescheduling to be honest but wont make that decision until we are closer (probably around june/july). It sucks because we have every single thing already planned (honeymoon in Greece, bachelorette/bachelor parties in Miami, rehearsal dinner, shower). It is a true nightmare but still praying something drastic happens to stop this. There are so many weddings planned this year, it is do depressing. We will get through it one way or another.

View Quoted Comment I hear ya... we have everything set but our honeymoon. At this point I just want the wedding day to happen and we can figure out the honeymoon for like our year anniversary or something when things are calm! I’m sorry... Greece sounds amazing!! I hope you figure it out! All we can do is continue to take it day by day. I’m going to make my decision by the beginning of June!

View Quoted Comment Agreed. I wish us all the best of luck lol.

View Quoted Comment Same to you!! 🤞🏼

Our wedding is planned for June 5 😭 it's so stressful... We just keep hoping for the best but this virus isn't going anywhere anytime soon. We've been juggling our options, such as postponing to the Fall or cutting the guest list down to under 50 people, like immediate family and wedding party only. Maybe even asking people to wear masks... I just don't know what to do. I'm nervous to postpone though because they're saying they will likely quarantine on and off for the foreseeable future so it's hard to know when the second wave will hit. I'm afraid if we postpone and change everything and then the second stay at home order goes out, we're back at square one going through that nightmare all over again.
