Coronavirus=pure Panic

My wedding is 5/2/2020. My county just shut down for two weeks. I’m in a state of panic, this is not something you think you need to prepare for when wedding planning. It sure if I’m over or under freaking out here. Anyone else??

    I understand!!! My wedding is June 27, 2020. Dealing with Covid 19 and finalizing things for my wedding is overwhelming. I'm ready for things to get back to normal 🤷‍♀️😫😔

    I’m supposed to get married next weekend in Gulf Shores. The days leading up to the wedding have been the most stressful all year as some people can’t travel or don’t want to get sick and I’ve been planning the WHOLE thing myself. Praying everyone’s wedding can go as planned and everyone stays healthy! This COVID-19 SUCKS!

    I feel you! It’s been so stressful. There’s so much uncertainty so we decided to postpone ours to August. We were originally scheduled for May 30, but my family lives in Europe and fiancé Argentina. We just need things to be much more certain. I hope goes well for all of you brides!

    As much as this sucks, it honestly helps to read these comments and realize that I am not the only one feeling this way. I am extremely anxious, scared and upset about this situation. My shower was supposed to be this Sunday, the 22nd. That had to be canceled and finding a new date that works for my bridesmaids has been hell. My wedding is May 30th and I can't help but think of how devastated I will be if that has to be canceled/postponed as well. And to think last week my biggest worry was where we were going for pictures in between the ceremony and reception. The things i'd do to have that be my biggest worry now...

    How is this possible when you can’t be in a room with more than 10 people and have to stay 6 feet apart from people at all times when in public places? I would call the CDC on them. Totally unfair, they are just trying to keep your money even though you have to cancel because of the CDC and not wanting people to get sick and possibly have to be hospitalized.

    In the same boat currently, getting married 5/16/20. Just can’t fathom the thought of having to change the date after a year of planning.

    I just rescheduled my wedding from May 15 to Sept 4 and am feeling very poor me about it but feel like it was the right thing to do given the situation & how long it’ll take for things to settle down. I was dead set on a spring wedding though so dealing with some disappointment

    Im getting married the same day and am also in Washington state! We are so nervous and if we have to postpone it’ll have to be until next year. When we talked to our venue they only had one summer date to offer. Smiley sad We are really hoping for a miracle and are waiting until next week to official postpone.

    Oh no!! Well, here's to praying and hoping for a miracle for both of us!! It's so hard to sit and not be able to do much while we wait to see how this plays out, but I don't know that there's much else that we can do 😓tenor.gif

    They said if i postpone it. Then I wont get the same perks as what I got before. And I already put a LOT of money into my wedding and planning. They wont issue me a refund unless their ‘management’ states that they are closing all events over 10 people like the governor said in his speech. I hate playing this phone tag game with people who just want to take your money. Also my guests are trying to get a refund on their hotels and they double charged them!

    In Alaska, they just said no groups bigger than 50 for the next 8 weeks. Our wedding is in July, but if this keeps up........

    3/28/20 is my wedding date. I am calling and canceling things tomorrow. They have banned gatherings of 10 or more until 4/13/20 in my area. I'm devastated right now.

    My wedding is on 5/2/2020 as well. We keep getting hounded by everyone asking what we are going to do. We really don’t know. How can we know?? Nothing like this has ever happened before. We are in no position to postpone. If our venue cancels, it’s looking like we will still have the church ceremony. We’ll have to have 10 people or less if these restrictions stay in place by then, which of course makes me want to just break down and cry. But when it comes down to it, we just want to get married. I guess we won’t have a reception at all if this keeps up, but I pray everyday that’s not the case. As if that’s not bad enough, we’re supposed to leave for our honeymoon in Italy of all places on 5/4. We’re guessing that is likely to be canceled too. Only about half of what we spent on it is refundable, so we won’t be having a honeymoon elsewhere as we cannot afford the unforeseen expense. This is supposed to be the happiest time & I can honestly say I’ve never felt so sad, miserable & anxious . Glad to hear I’m not the only one facing this!

    You’re going to have to wait until closer to the date to reschedule. In order for them to HAVE to accommodate you, it has to be a gov’t mandate covering the date. We just learned this last night. We’re also on 5/2, but until the governor or the president declare a quarantine that actually includes the date we have, we’re “choosing to reschedule, not being forced to.” It sucks, because our best man has cerebral palsy and is immune compromised, and my FMIL is a cancer patient. I refuse to expose either of them to potential illness.

    My wedding date is/was 5/24. If you can consider postponing, I would highly recommend it. In one day I was able to secure a date later in the year with all of the same vendors. It is not my ideal date, but I think these circumstances require us to be flexible and settle. I was happy I didn't have to search for new vendors.


    This has been an absolute nightmare. Who plans for a pandemic?

    Jennifer, had you already sent the invitations? I sent mine, and now I don't know what to send out or where to buy something to update everyone. What I have seen on say zazzle has been insufficient. I am literally only changing the date, so I don't want to resend an entire invitation suite. Anyone have any suggestions?

    And I agree, it felt like the right thing to do.
