Coronavirus Madness

View Quoted Comment I'm upset cuz they closed all the schools! I have an 8 year old and I'm a college student 😂😂😂 I've been asking people to bring alcohol as a gift to my bridal shower this weekend. And asking for prays hahaha I have no idea what to do with my son for 2 weeks!

I entirely agree with this! My wedding is on the same date. I am planning on getting married to the man I love regardless of who shows up. We are practicing smart hygiene practices and having a party with or without people. A 100 people gathering is relatively low risk anyhow.

Well i'm still in the early planning stage, but yes, I've been contacted by a few vendors and venues cancelling my appointment until further notice. It's unfortunate. You just gotta continue to pray; don't live in fear. Anyone willing to make the journey to attend your celebrations and witness your union will be there. It'll still be a great day.

Stay safe and good luck everyone!! My wedding is 5/23 in the US but destination for most of our guests. To the extent helpful, we reached out to our venue and they were really wonderful. They said they thought it would be fine and even their late march and april brides had not cancelled, so we should go full steam ahead. However, they said we could keep our date but still reserve a backup date in the fall and we don't have to make a decision until a month out - so just going to go full steam ahead for 5/23 but monitor the situation. At the end of the day I think if things don't change it will just be a balance of whether we want it to go on as planned even if it means less people or would prefer waiting - which is likely a personal preference for each couple. I would recommend reaching out to your venue though if you haven't. I know it seems obvious but I was worried talking to them might send me into panic mode more, but it actually eased my mind to the extent that is possible. Good luck all!!

My wedding is December 2020 too. Should we be worried this far out?

It’s actually in may I was playing with the calculator and didn’t change it.

Yes! My wedding is Apirl 4th! Already I have people invited questioning our plans and stating how unsure they are about coming. My real concern is not my guests coming cause im getting married regardless. They can stay home, that's fine, but I'm more concerned about this travel ban extending. My honeymoon is in st. Lucia, also in apirl. What if we can't get there or worse we get there and can't come back. Sigh.......

Oh. I gotcha. I´m sorry girl. This is so stressful.

View Quoted Comment Honestly hard to say! There are different theories... one is that it will die off when the summer heats up and come back much worse this winter. Hope that's not the case and it goes awy for good!!!! 🤞

My wedding is also May 2nd. All of my guests are local , so I’m not concerned about the travel part. Our governor banned gathering of 250 or more and we are at 190. My dad has many health problems and I would postpone before he missed the wedding. There are issues with the shower and my bridesmaids and MIL are going at it about how we should cancel or shouldn’t and it’s all falling back on what I want to do. It’s getting to the point where I just want to postpone everything. If this gets much worse (which it probably will) over the next few weeks, we may not have a choice.

My wedding is April 4th too. My fiances family is mostly out of town so I would be tempted to postpone. It is just all so up in the air and stressful!! Wish I had a crystal ball!!

View Quoted Comment Well, we went ahead and postponed. Dallas is pretty much under lockdown - most office jobs are being done remotely, and more cases are popping up by the day. There is a current advisory against gatherings of 20 or more. To us, it would be too huge a risk for his family right now, and even if we went ahead no one would enjoy it.

Very sad and scary times for Bride to Be's. My Bach is in Vegas next month, will probably have to cancel. Also, my wedding is in May and my family lives in the UK. If they can't make it, unfortunately, the wedding will be postponed to next year.

Hoping for the best for all of you! Xo

View Quoted Comment We did as well.


Our venue allowed us to postpone our early May wedding to September. It’s been a really difficult and hard decision, but to compensate, we are also considering getting legally married on our initial date and using the fall date as a party and celebration of marriage.

View Quoted Comment Sending you your favorite junk food and lots of good thoughts! It is not an easy decision. I'm so upset after all of our planning, but we really didn't see much choice when immediate family wouldn't be here. It'll be worth the wait though.

View Quoted Comment I’ve been really upset too. At times it feels devastating. But as the initial disappointment fades, I know we made the right decision. Sending support and patience!

Our wedding is April 4th. I really didn't want to send anything regarding it but my FH thought it would be best as he was hearing rumors that some of our family were thinking of not coming due to covid-19. All our vendors are paid, so it's going forward either way, unless they cancel on us, knock on wood. We tried to keep it simple and we drafted this. I hope it helps for those who think they might address it.

"Hello Everyone,
We are aware that the coronavirus is at the forefront of everyone’s minds. We wanted to take this time to alleviate any concerns you may have in regards to our event and let you know the wedding will continue forward as planned. We will continue to monitor the situation as we still have a few weeks to go. If you choose not to attend, we simply request that you let us know a week before the wedding so we can adjust accordingly. We love you all. Be safe."

I just read that the ban will be lifted on April 7th for the 25 or less restriction. Who knows what they will do then though. It depends on the numbers. They are just increasing right now. This is horrible. I have the rest of the money due for our May 2nd wedding and I have no idea what to do. If they lift the ban then we are good , but if it gets a lot worse, they could extend the ban for a while. There are just so many questions that we won’t have answers to for weeks.

View Quoted Comment It's supposed to peak in 2-3 weeks... so I would highly recommend moving it. I have my bridal shower planned that weekend (was derby themed which was moved to September) and we are going to move it to June.

View Quoted Comment Were legally getting married may 9th also in an elopement style ceremony and then we moved our wedding to august 30th, well just do a vow renewal and a reception. I'm just hoping we can have more than 10 people at our august wedding 😂 right now I'm in ct and we have a 10 person ban. I've been laughing at this pic because this is exactly how I feel. Someone come get 2020 I'm done
