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??

    Our venue suggested we move so we just went ahead and did it. All my family members are out of state/country and some are elderly so we went for it. Good luck deciding though!

    My wedding was scheduled for today, and I had to postpone. It’s such a sad, difficult time right now. I feel for all the brides that are going through this! Take it day by day, because things change so quickly!! All my vendors were so understanding and helpful. I hope things clear before your wedding! This is out of our control and you have to keep yourself, family and friends healthy. Best wishes!!

    My wedding is the same day, and I had to cancel my reception. It was the hardest decision I had to make. But with having so many friends and family members the have cancer and going through chemotherapy and who are high risk of getting sick. I had to cancel it, who knows how long this is going to go on..🙁

    Mines is 6-20-20 and I’m feeling the same way. I’m trying to be optimistic, but it’s hard no knowing what to expect and what’s going to happen. 80% of my guest list lives out of state.

    Hey, my wedding WAS only 14 days and because of the virus I was forced by my venue to reschedule to their next available date...my wedding is now pushed back to July 5th...it sucks and I’m beyond upset about it but there’s really nothing I could do...no need to freak out since your wedding is in May...your venue will only reach out if your event is before April 20th

    Hopefully you have wedding insurance. Our parents made sure to get us coverage in case of natural disaster or something. We were married last year. Thankfully nothing happened, but it was still a good idea to get it.

    Date twin- June 27th and bachelorette MDW! I had a break down two days ago. But all we can do is wait and stay hopeful. Even if I wanted to postpone, my venue wouldn’t let me without loosing my deposit. They’re following CDC guidelines, So only canceling for April and May brides!

    News headline today “Dozens infected with COVID-19 after attending wedding in Australia”.


    Come on guys, I want to celebrate with my family and friends too (my wedding was scheduled for May 23) but the reality of it is, even if we could “make it work” it’s just not the right thing to do. It’s just not. We just sent our announcement to postpone.

    I just had a complete breakdown yesterday realizing that my wedding on May 15 may not happen. My FH also made a good point that we have a lot of people older than 60 coming as guest who have multiple health issues and if they got sick because of our wedding we would feel horrible. To keep all our vendors we are thinking about pushing it out a whole year. I feel for everyone on here who's had to already cancel their weddings I can't believe this is even happening.

    Just talked to my venue today. We may do the same. She told me however, “I have some Nov/DEC dates open.” We live in Ohio!!!! And all of my wedding stuff is all Spring colors. I’d have to spend more $$ changing all of my decorations. I’ve bought my girls dresses etc!! Not happening, so next Spring it might be. My fiancé and I may see if we can do a quickie on our original date, if we can get our license. Our courthouse is only doing 30 days out from your date, and that’s if things don’t get worse. It’s been a nightmare. My venue won’t do a refund not knowing when we will be able to accomplish this.😢 I refuse to just pick some random date just because she says she has some openings. We also have senior/elders anticipated to come. We have people going through cancer treatments. Can’t risk their health.

    Hey Nikki, my wedding was june 2020 and just pushed it out a whole year, made the decision this morning, I know exactly what you are going through, honestly its horrible to have to push it back but I felt a lot of relief coming to this decision. I first considered trying for August but then just felt that was still too close and if I had to postpone again I would be miserable. hang in there!

    Yeah, we are done. Breaks my heart, 8 years and the plagues of Egypt have to hit a month before our wedding. Trying to take a deep breath and realize that regardless, I'm a pretty lucky gal. We will try again...Smiley heart

    It was a really hard decision to make, my wedding was 5/8/2020. I would contact your vendors and venue and hopefully they will work with you. I had to choose another date in 2020 or I would have lost a lot of money, we chose 10/3/2020. I didn’t get the same time and had to choose a different location, but to make lemonade out of lemons, I am going to make some changes to decor and make it the wedding of my dreams anyway. It will all work out. Just check and see what your options are so you don’t loose any money.
