#Coronabrides, Postponing or Cancelling?

Most of us who postponed to August/Fall feel no sense of confidence --but who does? In no way will things be "normal" then but we can hope groups of at least 50 can gather by then (still distanced, probably face masks). Until there is a vaccine and cure (not anticipated until 2022 with a 2nd wave supposedly coming) there is no sense of relief/confidence anytime coming. Some people have been engaged for a long period of time and what matters now is the marriage vs the wedding. Yes, a lot of time, energy, tears have been poured into the planning but kudos to all the brides who have made it work during this time and still came out just as happy (and probably a lot less in debt)!

View Quoted Comment I have an option of by July things aren’t back to some type of normalcy, that I can postpone it again until sometime next year.

We were originally scheduled for April 4th but have rescheduled for July 11th this year. It is a second marriage for both of us (widow and widower) but still don't like the wait. I feel for all the first time brides... I would have been crushed and crazy. I still don't know what we will do if we are expected to reschedule again... prayers for a cure...

I feel for every bride. This has to be one of the hardest decisions to make. We decided to postpone our wedding that was scheduled for July 17, 2020 until July 17, 2021. July 17th is a significant date for us (we met on 07.17.17 and got engaged on 07.17.19), so we couldn't just reschedule to another month. We were worried for our family and friends, because most of them were traveling from out of town to attend. We also had to keep in mind that even if things were to get back to semi-normal, we have family and friends that have lost their jobs. They wouldn't be able to afford the trip anymore and we want our wedding to be a fun ocassion. We are still getting married on our original date but we will have the formal event next year!!

I changed mine from April 23 to July 4. I don’t want to go past that to be honest. I’d say wait it out! Good luck!

We just postponed our 6/19 wedding to 9/4/2020. Praying we are allowed to have 125 people gather at that time. So far, we have not gotten one RSVP saying someone cannot come!!

My wedding has been postponed to October 24th, was suppost to be April 24 just two days ago. Still sad about it. I think the constant reminder from family and friends isn't making it easier. Someone called me today to remind me I was supposed to be going on my honeymoon right now...thanks!

Our wedding was supposed to be August 16, 2020 and we just announced that we are postponing to July 25, 2021. The reason we are postponing is that my fiancé’s family are all traveling from the other side of the U.S. or from overseas, and it just didn’t seem right to have them buy plane tickets right now, with everything being so uncertain. It is a lot of work having to replan everything.

Open by June!

My venue won't allow us to cancel yet either they also will not give us a postponement date at this time

we are supposed to get married July 5, and I feel as though the chances of us having a wedding July 5 are slim to none at this point. Anyone else in the same boat where you cannot get a back-up date?

Our wedding is late September but in Greece. I have no idea what to expect by then at this point. Even if it’s feasible, most of our folks would have to be booking travel now. I’ve had coronavirus so he and I may still go to Greece if we have antibodies and elope on our date. Not sure.

View Quoted Comment Hi Ashley! I'm in Rochester NY and getting married in October! I didn't get to watch Cuomo today! I did hear about the phase approach! Are they hoping for fully open in june?! Jusf seeing your comment made me so happy because I was so scared about not having our wedding!

View Quoted Comment He didn’t say to much but I think if things do start
To open May 15 it’ll be good! We do have a backup date for October just incase but hoping July will be fine! Stay safe and well
Get through this!!

View Quoted Comment That's amazing! Let's hope because we are on the decline so that's a huge positive!! Im glad you have a backup date for October that also makes me feel better for October!! I hope your July date works we got this!

View Quoted Comment Yes I agree!! We’re definitely on the decline and I think by May 15 we’ll be in good shape!! I just hope he gives more details for his “2 phase approach” besides 2 week period in between so that’s why I feel hopeful for July! Lol but oh yes October will definitely be good!!

View Quoted Comment I agree! May 15th gives us even more time to decrease which is awesome!!! I do also, I bet you he will in the next week or two!


I deff feel October will be good!! The second wave will come around November December I feel like it really did start this year! So if your July date doesn't work which I hope it does. We will both get married in October! I am getting married October 3rd!

View Quoted Comment Yes exactly!! And I agree with you for the 2nd wave they talk about fall but when the flu starts. The flu doesn’t really start until November December time! And how can they even predict that! Lol and they did say they’d be more prepared so I don’t think we’d need another shut down!! The only dates available were October 23&30😔 I wish it was early October but we’ll see what happens and maybe they’ll have more dates if people switch!!
