#Coronabrides, Postponing or Cancelling?

Why would we have to be corona brides? Thank God I’m not a Corona mom to be that would be way worse

@Porscia and Christina - I literally grapple with the fertility issue everyday. I dedicated an entire discussion to it if you want to contribute/read.

Even if the ban lifts by June sometime, I worry that a majority of our guests will still choose not to attend because it doesn't feel safe; for the ones who do attend, they'll be distant and cautious, which will ruin the feel, and the point, of having a large wedding reception.

Re-scheduling even to the fall deeply concerns me, as there is no certainty that this virus won't come back with a vengeance (although nothing has been scientifically proven).

This literally could not have come at a worse time for me. This pandemic is ruining my life.

Our wedding is on June 20, and I have not canceled yet. I think you are going to be ok with the new date. Don't worry. If everyone complies this will be over by then. We wish you luck and congratulations.

My fiance and I were going to get married on April 18th too! Will be our 6th dating anniversary that day We postponed until October 16th of this year. Bummed that we won't have that same anniversary but now we can just have two dates to celebrate! Plus I think a fall wedding will be beautiful, looking forward to it Hoping that the virus won't come back in October. If so and we have to cancel again, we'll just elope. I don't want to have to go through all of this again haha! Of course it's for the best to postpone and make sure everyone is healthy and safe.

Our wedding was supposed to be May 23rd and we postponed it to August 23rd. I’m praying everything is back to normal by then as well. I really didn’t want to postpone the wedding but the positive thing is I have more time to plan.


Best of luck to y’all!

View Quoted Comment I’m June 13 wedding to and this week my venue closed until May. My fiancé and I just decided to cancel and do a small ceremony in a close friends yard on the lake. We actually both are more excited about this because it’s about 10 minutes from where we live instead of an hour away. Plus it’s free and we have no time limits we are hoping things will be calmed down by then and we can still get our marriage license that’s my only worry now. Good luck!!

View Quoted Comment We are completely on the same page with this! I’ve had some issues with ovarian cysts and my uterus likes to flip on its own I’ve been told. I can’t put this process off much longer seeing that two of my good friends my age have struggled and have had to move on to IVF. What I’m torn with is the fact that September 5th is technically still summer... but a virus doesn’t know seasons. I’m terrified, sad, and just feel so defeated.

We held a small ceremony of 5 family members and us. We are going to do a renewal of vowels next year and the big cermony. So having 2 cermonys with next year reception. Check with local church if you are religious and see if they can marry you. I'm Catholic and my now husband is Baptist but we got married at my catholic church. Small and quiet but with a photographer and video photographer... it was worth it.

I'm very sorry to hear that. From my very rudimentary understanding, a tilted uterus and some types of cysts do not, per se, impact pregnancy or delivery - but i'm not a doctor. I would try to schedule a hormone follicle (FSH) test, and a fertility consultation with your obstetrician when you are able to (it helped me).

September 5th is still very much the summertime, in my opinion. I think you have more time than you think to decide. My venue wouldn't even consider the idea of rescheduling/cancelling until we were much closer to the date.

The waiting is absolutely excruciating, but we will get through this.

I'm in the same boat! We are September 6th and it is so hard trying to decide what to do right now. On one side we're hoping everything will be fine and we can proceed as planned, but on the other side I don't want to lose any of my vendors so we have been thinking about postponing just in case. Majority of our guests are local and within driving distance so thankfully no one will need to fly or do any extensive travel.

Our wedding was supposed to be on 6th June. I'm from Germany and my entire family lives in Germany. Nobody would have been able to come. We sadly postponed our wedding to 22nd May 2021. It's so so sad

View Quoted Comment I’m September 25th and I’m worried too. Part of me is relieved that so many weddings are being rescheduled to late summer/fall so I shouldn’t be worried, but there’s so much uncertainty. No one really knows when things will be ok.

My wedding is April 25th 2020 we had to cancel, we are just doing a small ceremony with our immediate family only of 10. Then we are going to do everything else later with all this is over. So far all my vendors have been amazing and helping me!

Our date is June 20th and u know what we are just going to go for it. Obviously have been going and forth. But who knows! I think August you will absolutely be fine.

My wedding is scheduled for June 6th in Vegas. Our wedding planner stated that so far...the wedding is still on. I’m just holding out hope that since it’ll be warm out by June that our date won’t be affected. I’m not canceling my date until I know that I’m forced to cancel so that I can get a refund. If we have to end up canceling then we are just going to hire an officiant and will get married outside on our deck with our kids as this is a second marriage for both of us and our kids are all adults now. We will just celebrate with a reception later in the summer. After all, the most important thing for us is that we want to be married.

Is anyone having a really hard time with their vendors? Like vendors charging rescheduling fees for 2021? Or getting charged with cancellation fees. We don't even know if our vendors will survive this. This was going to be a destination wedding, but many people (guests) are going to be in financial hardship if we reschedule to a later date. What are your suggestions?

View Quoted Comment I had a technical tell me once it may be harder to get pregnant... but she’s no doctor either. But that has stuck with me all these years.


I’m hoping if anything September 5th is the calm of all of this if anything! But I don’t want people uncomfortable coming to my wedding if things still are scary!

View Quoted Comment I have seen a lot of weddings rescheduled to summer/September so that’s why I’m hoping it’s okay... but no one can know when things will be okay which is the biggest problem!

View Quoted Comment All of my guests are local as well so that’s not an issue. But yes, if people will be comfortable to come is a concern, too. My fiances grandpa is very ill. I just don’t know what’s right or wrong to do right now.

Mine is September 24th. And im worried as well! I know it's a little
bit out but I'm not sure if that will still be enough time.
