Coronavirus: When to reschedule?

I asked my venue for all available dates from June to January. I am thinking I would prefer later if possible just to be safe though.

I’d schedule six months or so out just to be safe. It would be so terrible to reschedule just to have this all happen again and I think you’ll save yourself a lot of anxiety.

I suggest try to get a later day perhaps consider having a Winter wedding to be on the safe side. Sorry sorry for you brides.

We changed our date to September 13th. It’s a Sunday, but it was the only date we could get all of our vendors. We’re still getting married on our original date but it will be a small ceremony at my parents house with immediate family. Seems like it’s possible that the virus could calm down by July and pick back up by November, but no one really knows.

View Quoted Comment Haha that’s my birthday! I was reading that too! Just told my mom I don’t want to wait until like October/ November because it can start back up. But I’m worried August might not be enough time either. I’m trying to look at China to help be a better indicator but it’s so hard to tell.

View Quoted Comment I feel you. My dad has been like obsessively looking at data and the news and he just felt like July/August is definitely up in the air with this virus and he felt safer with a September date. This whole thing is just so insane.

I think its naive to assume anything at this point. I understand we must keep hope, but we must also be realistic and prepare for the worst case scenario (postponement.) I am right here with you.

Our wedding is planned for June 13, 2020 and while that seems far enough out to not have to postpone - with all the uncertainty and information rapidly changing on a daily basis, I can't help but be overwhelmed with stress and anxiety. I've already had to cancel by bridal shower and am sure my bach is out of the question at this point too.

Here in CA, we have a "Shelter in Place" ordinance in effect through April 19th with the possibility of that extending to May if our situation here does not improve. Our venue has had to cancel and postpone weddings that were planned through April. My heart ACHES for those couples.

We are hoping late April will offer more clarity for the future of 2020, however, what everyone needs to understand (myself included) is that even if things "calm down" soon, it doesn't mean people will be out of danger while in close proximity to one another. We never expected to have to make such a heartbreaking decision, however, it is not nearly as heartbreaking as the idea of putting our loved ones at risk.

take some time to decide what is best for you, but understand that there are many other couples debating the same and dates will become less and less available.

Hi there, so sorry you are going through this too, you're not alone! I've just posted a lengthy message regarding this issue. I think it would really help you to read it.
