#Coronabrides, Postponing or Cancelling?

View Quoted Comment Thank you so much for this! We're supposed to get married in upstate NY in October and Im wondering what the restrictions will be like for weddings once things are lifted.

Its so weird, the states are reopening but I feel that there's little guidance. There are restrictions for some businesses but it seems no one is following them. I haven't heard anything about large gatherings but no one is shutting anything down from what I can tell. I hope things are better in New York by October!

View Quoted Comment That is so true also you would be limited on how many people. I have so much to do basically everything you said and mine is in September

I feel the same way, one moment I'm good and then I'm not. Our wedding is set for Sept and the venue is being super cooperative with postponing or changing the reception to their outdoor space to accommodate social distancing. We're still undecided about postponing although I'm thinking at this point we have no choice since all guests need to travel. We're thinking to postpone to October right now and worse case scenario we can postpone again. This whole thing totally sucks.

Hey ladies my fiance and I decided to push our wedding out to July 10, 2021. This was a very hard decision for us but we decided we will elope on our specially chosen wedding date of July 11, 2020 then for our 1 year anniversary we will celebrate with our family and friends with our wedding ceremony and reception. This actually is going to work out better for us because we have more time to pay on everything and have bigger festivities than we were planning.


We have too many friends and family between us to narrow our guest list down to 50 and most of the activities we were planning won't be available.
Best of luck to you all!!

That is great that they are officially having weddings at your venue! Can I ask what state your wedding will be in? Definitely don't feel guilty - better to be safe than sorry and I'm sure your guests appreciate you putting them first

View Quoted Comment I completely understand but I didn't want any restrictions on my wedding. I didn't want to push it to next year but Its better for me. I feel so much better now not under the stress of not knowing what's going to happen.

View Quoted Comment Our wedding will be in Georgia. Yeah even though everything is just about open here, the state has been the topic of discussion for opening too soon. The cases are still pretty high so people are still nervous to go out

View Quoted Comment I am getting married September 6th and we decided to cancel because our families are worried about a 2nd wave. The reception venue is not understanding at all . We are beyond stressed right now

View Quoted Comment Oh no I’m so sorry to hear that!! That’s not fair! At all

View Quoted Comment Did they offer a refund ?

Ladies, I’ve posted in here a couple months back. I’ve been facing the facts that I probably need a Plan B for my September 5th wedding so I reached out to my venue and my priest and BOTH think September will be okay!! What?? I’m in Western NY where we cannot get out hospitalization rates down so we are far from opening. I’m quite surprised they both think the original date will be okay!


My new plan was to get married in a smaller ceremony in the church, because I’d hope by then small gatherings could be allowed. My church is big and my priest said we can fit 70 people 6 ft apart. So my thought is to maybe go on with just a small ceremony on the date so I can then start the baby making and then postpone the reception to a later date.
Anyone as shocked as me that my priest and venue want to keep the same date and that they think things will be okay? I was waiting for their responses back to say that we needed to postpone!

View Quoted Comment The officiant offered a full refund. The Dj and photographer offer partial refunds, but the amounts were laughable compared to what we paid. My other vendors offered to move funds to a new date. Luckily we have rescheduled everything for September 5th.

View Quoted Comment I really hope you are able to have the wedding of your dreams.

View Quoted Comment Thanks! I hope the same for you as well

View Quoted Comment My reception will be in GA September 5th. I hope fears have settled a little by then so that all of my guests can attend.

View Quoted Comment Nancy I am so sorry I never got this notification! We are going to send out new Save the Dates if we move the wedding and then act as if we started from scratch

View Quoted Comment I live in Georgia too and I’ve talked with the venue and they stated that there are no restrictions

View Quoted Comment Is it doable and okay yes, is it safe not too sure how safe it is. How would you feel? Stressed? We moved our September wedding to next May. Do what you think will be best for you and your guests! X

At this point I dont know whst the heck to do Im sept12 and I just wish that there wad something to go by so frustrated beyond words
