#Coronabrides, Postponing or Cancelling?

View Quoted Comment I've already postponed my wedding once (Was suppose to be tomorrow). Anyways we are getting married on Oct. 3rd no matter what! I don't want to keep postponing. What if this is our new normal? What if the hopes of a vaccine don't work? I don't want to keep postponing and find myself in the same situation come June next year. Yes, it would be great to have all my family and friends there, but when it comes down to it I get to marry my best friend and that's wonderful!!

View Quoted Comment I agree. I postponed my april wedding to September. Every ends even pandemics the question is when already?

Hi my fellow brides, this forum has been such a support for me. Here I feel others who truly understand my struggle of wedding planning during this unpredictable, moving target of the virus. All of us trying to stay safe and achieve our wedding dreams, which is a challenge! We rescheduled our wedding from June to August. My county is currently yellow (limit of 25) in PA. Our venue has little to go off of right now. Tonight, me and my fiancé sat down with our guest list and trimmed it down. Hoping county will go green by July and we can use our reduced list to meet requirements. My emotions are so up and down and I miss the days of my biggest worry was if it would rain on the day. My fiancé is so confident things will be almost normal, yet I am more skeptical and concerned. Thankful this forum exists!! ❤️

Wedding was supposed to be today 💔. Been in a terrible mood all day especially since the weather is so beautiful here in Georgia. It sucks having to wait a full year when it could’ve been done today. Hope everyone else is at peace if you postponed.

View Quoted Comment That was me last week! I too had to push my wedding to next year, although my fiance and I decided we were going to elope at the end of the month. But it would have been nice to have the whole wedding experience! At least I will still marry my love and we can really enjoy the experience! Hang in there! We will have our day and it will be just as if not more beautiful! I look at it as I just more time to do more! (Although I get the side eye every time I mention something new!) LOL! BIG SOCIALLY DISTANT HUGS TO YOU! We will get there!

View Quoted Comment I feel the same way! I hope that you have a beautiful wedding 🌹

I totally understand the feeling! Our wedding was supposed to be in May. We had initially postponed to July but ultimately decided to postpone to next year. To your point, it sucks having to wait a full year but I take comfort in knowing that we will be throwing the party of our lifetime for our family and friends who can't wait to just be together and celebrate not only our union but just life! When your day comes, again, it's going to be even more magical! Hold on to that faith. When all of this started I questioned a lot of things and was in such a depressive state but I'm at a point now where I believe things do happen for a reason. Hang in there!

View Quoted Comment Yeah I look at it as a chance to perfect everything we’ve already done and maybe make it bigger and better. Socially distant hugs to you as well! I love this board cause I feel like everyone else thinks I’m being dramatic.

View Quoted Comment You’re right! I definitely was at peace with our decision because even if we did move forward, it wouldn’t have been the same. There would’ve been a lot of cancellations and restrictions to keep everyone safe. I really hope we can have our wedding next year without risking someone’s health. Even if we do, I think we will still move forward to avoid postponing again. I’m sure I’ll feel better tomorrow! ❤️

View Quoted Comment Fully agree with you Kenzie. I moved my September wedding to May because it is in Ireland and even though they don’t have many cases right now having guests from different parts of the world made us decide to postpone.

View Quoted Comment Of course they do! They aren't going through it! It's tough to get to the finish line only to not have the day that you have been so excited and planning for, then to have to wait an entire 12 more months. Its a sucky feeling!

View Quoted Comment Mine was actually supposed to be next Saturday and I’m devastated 🙁 we have not set a new date yet

View Quoted Comment I'm sorry. I know how you feel. My wedding was supposed to be april 25 and I was depressed weeks before and after the date.

I'm really feeling positive. Monroe, Luzurne, and other counties are going Green this week. It's making it's way down to southeast PA!

Edit: I forgot that we've communicated on here before, and you're in Erie! I really feel that Erie will fall into place with us!!

Edit 2: ..... I really don't understand why Erie hasn't been Green yet!!

We had our wedding for October. But over half our guests including our entire wedding party is from out of state. My husband's family is 90% health compromised. And because of the pandemic, we didnt have the financials we thought we would. So we've decided to push back our date from Oct 24th to May 15th, 2021. This is to ensure our families will be safe with a gathering of 70+ people, and that we will be able to afford our wedding. Its an inconvenience for the family members who booked their hotels already, but we don't have many options here. Its saddening and depressing. But this is the only way I see being able to pull this off and not get deeper into debt than we already are. It is what it is.

View Quoted Comment Hi Elle! I know right?! I’m so on the fence with what to do. Praying our counties are announced Friday!! Which county are you marrying in? We have friends in Lancaster who have July 18th date waiting to turn green as well. 🙏🏻🙏🏻💚

Getting married in Delaware County, reception in Chester County. It is taking forever!

We were supposed to get married May 29, 2020 and are postponed to October 25, 2020. We got some additional information from our vendor how to implement social distancing measures. I am worried though because there was a clause, as any business should have, that removes them responsible if anyone contracts the virus. In the document is also explains how we are responsible for our guests activities while on the premises. I completely get that! I am worried about protecting me and my fiance tho, that if one of our guests wasn't responsible and comes to our wedding with COVID and it gets spread. Are me and my fiance the ones at fault for the consequences? I'm so worried I've been crying all day. Should we have a waiver for our attending guests to sign?

View Quoted Comment Hi Rachel, I’m so sorry you are crying all day (been there myself during this virus). The precautions you and your venue are taking are great ways to minimize risk. We are also taking precautions, such as hand sanitizer for guests and we minimized guest list. My dad (bless his heart!) asked my mom and my fiancé parents if as parents, they can all eliminate their own friends, business associates, etc. and keep it a family only wedding with bridal party. Parents unanimously agreed and told me and fiancé the guest list is now safer and will now meet our new venue guidelines once county goes to next phase. I don’t know about the legal side of things, but we as a family, have made changes and perhaps these same things may help in your situation. Hope you feel better soon ❤️

View Quoted Comment Theres no way you will be “liable” if anyone contracts the virus because it’s literally impossible to determine where you got it. someone can get it at the gas station on the way to your wedding. i wouldnt worry about that clause
