Coronavirus=pure Panic

View Quoted Comment It's going to get much worst before it starts to get better!

Florida has now closed all Venues and Restaurants for at least two weeks and might go on longer.
We have moved all of our Weddings And other Celebrations to June forward.
I think in May guests might still be afraid to travel and of large groups.

The venue was mandated by the government to close, so we had to postpone our wedding until 2021. We had 8 weeks to go!

View Quoted Comment You’re lucky! Mine was 5/9 and the venue was mandated to close. We had to move it until 2021!

View Quoted Comment My wedding is 4/4/2020 too! I don’t know what to do! Group gatherings are only allowed at ten people right now i had 300 guests coming 😭 should I postpone? The ranch I’m having it at might still let us

I get married in November....so far. And I am a caterer by trade in Illinois. We’ve been forced to close indefinitely and either had to have our clients we have on the books move their wedding date or just leave it TBD because we are shut down through Mid April with it probably being longer. If you can change it til late in the year or next year, I’d advise you snagging your vendors now and not when they are so swamped with reschedules that your stuck waiting or being forced to use someone else. Good luck to all of us as we all need it right now.

Hi Christine,


I am in your same situation! I've created a Facebook group just for this. To spread some joy and happiness for this really tough time for us all, especially for us brides. I invite you to follow me here: https://www.facebook.com/groups/196954168261280/
It's called "I Do" Pandemic.
We all need some positivity right now!

Making the decision is agonizing, but as soon as you do, a wave of relief comes. I had to come to terms with my wedding not looking like how I envisioned it. It took a day. But the most important thing is having the people you love there to celebrate. No one expects to be getting married during a pandemic.

Good luck everyone and stay well.

Completely freaking out! We are in east tennessee about an hour and a half from our ceremony/honeymoon spot (pigeon forge, tn). Everything there is closing down, some things dont have a reopen date set, some are closed until may 9 as of yesterday. We are getting calls from family saying to postpone, but we are waiting. Holding hope that we can get this done on our date. If they move open dates to the middle of may or later we will have to postpone. If it were just us we wouldn't mind being stuck in the cabin for 2 weeks with a hot tub and free wifi, but itll be us and the kids too (mine previous marriage) and my mom and maybe my dad. So family vacation if they're able to come! But if nothing is open, we can be stuck in the house with wifi and netflix for free at home. We chose pigeon forge because we all love it there! We spend birthdays and some date nights there (once in a great while. It's kinda far to go for dinner and come home lol) we are praying that this goes away and we dont have to postpone. We have talked about doing christmas In the smokies instead of going to New York and spending christmas with my family this year (first christmas with my fam in a decade) but idk.

Ours was 5/2, and we had to postpone it. It’s definitely a nightmare.

View Quoted Comment Move it, better to play it safe than have half of your guests not show up. It’s sad and devastating but you want your guests to be calm and have a wonderful experience, not worry about a virus.

5/2 wedding here, in Phoenix AZ. We’re taking it day by day. And hoping the social distancing helps by mid-April?


We just made a backup plan including still getting married on 5/2 on one of our Phoenix mountain preserves. Only having just our parents/siblings witnessing. Then throwing a reception/party whenever we can if this doesn’t clear up.
We have a 300 headcount from people all over the world. This is so very sad but we’re in this for the marriage, not a wedding.

We had the same wedding date and made the decision yesterday to postpone. It wasn’t an easy decision and I’m still heartbroken, but I think it was the right choice given the circumstances. Now everyone will be able to come, there hopefully won’t be any lingering concern about this Coronavirus, and we can celebrate properly. I’ve been a total wreck for the past week...but I’m hopeful that now that we have some direction and a decision, I can pick myself back up again and carry on. We postponed for a year...really hoping this year goes as fast as the last one did.


Keep your head up. The hardest part for me has been the uncertainty...once you can make a final decision and get past that part, it’ll get easier. Talk to your vendors openly and honestly - they’re also scared and concerned and heartbroken for you. Mine have all been amazing and SO understanding...I hope the same for you. I know how rough this is. Eat the chocolate. Skip the workouts. Cry your eyes out. For a time. But then make a plan, pick yourself back up, and get your beautiful self married, whatever that looks like. ❤️

View Quoted Comment Oh geez!! This is what happens when all the accounts are linked on one phone 😂😂.
That was me and not him speaking.

You are under freaking out. I unfortunately think it will be postponed 😕

My wedding was 5/4/2020 on Ft. Myers Beach in Florida. Unfortunately last night we made the decision to postpone the wedding to 8/15/2020. I am heartbroken and my anxiety is through the roof! 😥Now I’m worried that our beach wedding will be to hot or we will get rained on or even worse have a hurricane 😩. I am a nurse at a hospital and I see it getting worse before it gets better. I did not want my elderly mother with many health conditions becoming ill due to my wedding or my fiancé’s grandparents. Nobody is having to fly in thankfully but guest still have to travel up to 6 hours for the wedding. I just hope I made the right decision.

Hello all. Today my fiance and I have my the most difficult decision. It is one that came with lots of anger, tears, and frustration. We have many people coming to our wedding outside of our state of Pennsylvania. Most from the west coast and my brother who is stationed in South Korea. (Yesterday he told me that he wouldn't be able to attend the wedding with the original date). Two of our bridal party members wouldn't be able to go either! After talking to our venue and wedding planner. Our families and each other. We have decided to postpone our wedding until next year. We are still going to do a memorial weekend wedding. It is one of the hardest decisions to make. I am not going to give up having important people and my dream wedding altered to something I do not want because of this pandemic. Because of that we decided it was best to postpone it. Best of luck all you beautiful brides, with making one of the most hardest decisions ever.❤

We just had to move our wedding from May 30 in our area to the end of September. All of our vendors have been VERY helpful and we were lucky enough that we got to keep our whole team. I would stay positive and reach out, because it wasn't easy to find a date that wasn't already booked. Our area is popular for weddings and all the postponed weddings on top of new weddings means you have to move fast. Just remember your vendors are mostly small businesses and are struggling financially and reach out as kindly as possible. It worked for us even though postponing is literally heartbreaking, we are pretty lucky.

My wedding is scheduled for 5/30 as well and it's so hard to know what to do... it feels too far out to cancel or postpone yet because there's a chance it could blow over within those two months.

Mine was supposed to be 04/24 venue called me with new dates starting July.
