#Coronabrides, Postponing or Cancelling?

My fiance and I finally decided today to postpone our August 14th, 2020 wedding for next year May 14th, 2021.


It is so unclear of what is going on and fear that this "second wave" will come during August since they said sometime in the fall. I know it seems overkill to postpone now, but hearing that some states have prolonged their stay at home order till May 30th makes me worried.
Also, it does help a little with stress and gives us more of time to doing some planning.
I hope all you ladies that have to postpone like I did will find a positive side to it!
Stay safe and Healthy during this crazy time!

It makes me feel more confident that you moved your date to August! My fiance and I are getting married on August 21st, but hopefully we don't have to move it. I haven't gotten any emails from the venue and I don't plan on freaking out until the end of June.

View Quoted Comment I’m September 26th and I’m more worried about all the things I didn’t book yet being books solid now because of reschedules. Flowers, cakes, bridesmaids dresses- not going well. They’re changing the way they’re documenting deaths now in our state and the numbers drastically dropped. I’ve decided to stop worrying or even thinking about it because tomorrow they could decide something new. We’ll get married that day either way, party later if needed.

Our date was supposed to be May 30th. Since it’s going to be in New York (not NYC but still) we decided to go ahead and postpone to Aug 22nd. We were fortunate that it was surprisingly easy to move everything because literally ALL of our vendors happened to be free that day. Even the venue for our rehearsal dinner the night before was free. I’m hoping it’s a good sign . I’m hoping that we will be able to have our big day, even if it’s a little strange with things like servers wearing face masks/gloves and us providing hand sanitizer for everyone. Hang in there ladies. We’re flattening the curve so praying that it stays that way and we don’t start to re-open too soon and have another surge...!

I am totally with you. We are getting married in Wallkill (Ulster county) so closer to NYC but still much less affected. I do have hope with Cuomo saying different parts of the state will open at different times. I’m with you - I’m less upset about my bridal shower possibly being cancelled (we might do it in August shortly before the new wedding date but who knows) and just hope the big day will be able to happen. Cuomo has the right idea and is moving forward with all the testing he promised so I’m seeing that as a massive positive!

My wedding date was 9-11-2020 and we pushed it make to July 21 I really don’t think things a be normal by than but I pay they do

View Quoted Comment Yesss I agree

Our wedding date was September 5 and we decided to move it until September of 2021.

View Quoted Comment I know what you mean. Ours in San Diego on June 28th. We are from out of town and all of our guest are too. We’ve been waiting for two years to get married but we are in a point in our lives we need to have a baby soon. As the days progress, I feel we are going to have to reschedule. I don’t want to.

Our wedding date is 9/5/20 and are hopeful to move forward with this date...however, we do have a back-up date of 9/18/21 on hold with our venue and vendors. Just the waiting game now to make a final decision!

View Quoted Comment That’s what I’ve been thinking too. I’m getting married on 10/17! Keeping my fingers crossed for us all!

We are planning on getting married on 08/08 and keeping positive that everything will go as planned! I swear it is such an emotional rollercoster! One day I'm feeling super positive and hopeful and then the next day I am sad and stressed out about what the future holds.

View Quoted Comment I’m so sorry! It’s just such a tough call and I feel like when there is a little glimmer of hope, there is something in the news to bring my worries back. We will figure this out! The world will be in a new normal, so maybe our plans for how to still have a baby and still get our dream days will just have to follow a new normal... but we will get them.

We technically cancelled the whole thing and are in the process of rescheduling. We always wanted it to be cold (so we chose a very snowy northern VT area at the beginning of April), so we are hoping by the end of the year this is all cleared up and everyone can make it. we just haven't finalized a date or anything. We were supposed to attend a few other weddings so it's hard to be able to reschedule since so many people had to do the same.

We are getting married September 12, 2020. We will be postponing our shower that was supposed to be in June. I am curious about everyone’s vendors ....anyone that has postponed, were your vendors understanding ? I am sending prayers to all of you that are battling during this awful time.

Our's is September 26th of this year and I am so so worried. The uncertainty of this year is so stressful!!

I am 10/31/20 I am so stressed over this! I can reschedule to 5/15/21 but then my uncle and his fam can't come because of their son's HS graduation. I talked to my venue and no fall brides have post-phoned yet. I read on 'brides' mag online that they are not recommending fall brides post-phone just yet. Maybe it depends on where you are living as to what we do. I am in Ohio and in my county all summer festivities fire works etc have been canceled through the rest of the year. I talked to my venue and they are flexible to reschedule but maybe it is just too soon to decide. What if we are in a phase 3 by Oct. My wedding will have under 100 people. I want to have it but I also don't want a black cloud over it either. UGH stress upon stress not knowing what the right thing to do is

View Quoted Comment Omg Steph, my wedding is supposed to be October 24 and I am so overwhelmed and full of anxiety. I don’t know if to postpone now or wait it out.

This whole thing is so depressing Even though the curve has flattened, its still hard to see when things will greatly diminished to the point where people will be able to (or even feel comfortable) traveling to and and attending big events again. If I had a wedding in August or fall I would probably hope for the best at this point, but if I had one soon and had the option to reschedule until 2021, thats what I would have done.

I do not have a wedding this year, but my sister was supposed to have one in June and one of my best friends is getting married in November (both weddings would require travel), and I really want to be able to be at both of them.

View Quoted Comment Hey Trina,


We are scheduled for July 11th in Vegas but we are getting nervous. There are still case spikes happening across the country and with some of the mayors and governors rushing to open up we think it may not be okay. So we are going to give it another week or so before rescheduling. We want to get still get married in our date either way hopefully the courthouses will open soon so we can get our marriage certificate and have someone marry us. Good luck !!
