Coronavirus=pure Panic

View Quoted Comment I’m not trying to scare anyone but working in a hospital, I can tell you that this is spreading very quickly and the virus will not go away unless everyone and I mean EVERYONE is compliant with isolating themselves for 2 weeks. It’s hard to implement that in a country like America so I expect us to be dealing with this for even longer than Italy and China did. I don’t see this being over in May. Our ICU’s in Delaware are already running out of proper protection. My heart goes out to anyone with a wedding in the next upcoming months. Mine is planned for February 2021 and I would be devastated. I’m keeping you in my thoughts!

Absolutely i had to change my date the beach shut down on the day of mine. So i had to push my wedding out 60 more days just to be on the safe side it was supposed to be on April 11 ...im so sad about it.

View Quoted Comment Keep safe Chelsea and we are VERY GRATEFUL for your work on the front line at this time. 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾

Mine is May 26th and is a destination wedding so I am also freaking out. I have been so worried that something will go wrong with getting our marriage license out of state and now this virus. Now I’m worried the clerk of courts office won’t be open, the venue will cancel, even with our wedding only having 15 guests, or we can’t leave the state.

Ladies I feel for all of you and heck I feel for myself too, but hearing so many people calling their guests rude, etc. for suggesting that their health is more important than your wedding... Let’s get a grip here on what is important. A wedding celebrates love and it is a communion of people who care about you and your future husband. Let’s remember that what matters is that we are all healthy and safe and we have each other even when we aren’t together. Please stay safe and keep your loved ones safe and close and don’t let this ruin you and your relationships.

View Quoted Comment Sooooo true!!

My venue (in IL) sent out an email that they rescheduled all weddings that fell within the 8 weeks of the CDC's recommendation to cancel all events above 50 people. I know I have heard that many other venues have done the same. I know this covered the month of April but I'm not sure if it dipped into May at all. Asking you venue directly would be the best course of action at this point.

Mine was also May 2nd and I just postponed it. A lot of love ones on both my side and my groom side where declining the RSVP's due to the pandemic. I want them all to be there... so made a very hard choice and postponed. It was in Northern Cali. We are keeping with our Honeymoon plans and Eloping in FL. and having a fall celebration. It was a hard decision but I know have time to make it more special and the thought of eloping has made me really happy I can still marry the love of my life.

Hang in there everyone! <

Stressing more than ever. My fiance and I are both military so we already had trouble picking a date that we wouldnt be at sea. May is literally the only month we were 100% sure we wouldnt be at sea and now I have no idea what to do. No military friends from out of state can come (only about 15) because of the military travel ban. No vendors or venue plan to cancel as of now so I am keeping my fingers crossed. If I have to postpone I have no secondary date to pick that I am certain I can be there for...stress overload right now 😭

View Quoted Comment Omg I postponed our 4/24 wedding to September 25th 2020. What do you think about September? I'm stressing now

View Quoted Comment Our wedding was supposed to be Apr 24th but we also postponed to September 25th. I thought about just having like 4 people & still get married on April 24th (original date) and also continue with the celebration later. If you do a celebration how does that work? Does that mean you no longer do a little ceremony? What do you wear if you dont do a ceremony..

View Quoted Comment Yes!!!! This is true

My wedding was supposed to be May 3 on Oahu (1/2 destination, 1/2 not, since my family is from Oahu and the rest of the guests are from California and elsewhere). Supposed to be 120 people. We rescheduled a week ago to April, 2021 (this venue is booked because it's popular). Everyone was very accommodating and we luckily got all of our same vendors since it is a year away. My partner and I had been checking updates daily and tried to make it work, but there is no way. Our venue even closed down indefinitely a few days after we postponed. We wouldn't want to endanger any of our guests, nor would we want people to not feel safe and cancel on us. I didn't want masks and hand sanitizer at the wedding, as well as no one hugging. Anyone getting married in May and even June, I think it's a great idea to postpone. I can say that the spread of COVID-19 is going to be really bad in the US this week and especially in the next couple of weeks, especially since people across the country have not been practicing social distancing as shown from pics at Spring Break parties or even in California where we have a mandatory shelter in place. It took a lot of tears to finally make the decision, but the relief I felt after checking the numbers constantly before we postponed, is definitely worth it.

View Quoted Comment ❤ I'm yryong...

View Quoted Comment I work in public health for the federal government. This is incorrect. There are several ways that this is different than an average flu season, and saving lives will require more than simple flu season precautions. I'm worried about my wedding too so I feel for everyone, but please be gentle to guests who are too afraid to attend. I have fragile family members who I have advised to avoid events.

View Quoted Comment I honestly wish I could say, I’m not an expert but as of right now I’m saying that even June looks like it’d be too close of a call. If we’re smart about this and people are doing what they’re supposed to- this shouldn’t continue into September but there’s so many factors it’s so hard to say! All it takes is one person to keep spreading this to everyone else. My wedding is in February and I’m still scared.

View Quoted Comment Marcia you are ABSOLUTELY correct on all accounts. I truly worry about what is going on. And all these weddings that will require needing to be postponed. My heart goes out to you . My date is not until October but I still worry . I too have elderly family and have concerns. This virus 🦠 is more than just a flu. Please be careful.

I do understand how you’re feeling try to relax I pray that everything works out for you 🙏🏾

My advice is to make a solid back up plan. Then contact your vendors about possible last minute changes to make sure they are on board, even if that means cancelling quantity of things. Make sure you know your for sure guest list from 2 weeks out, then adjust your back up plan as needed. And again at 1 week out. That should give vendors plenty of time to prepare. Also make sure your officiator is 100% in no matter what. I just had my wedding on the 21st. It was a small intimate wedding to begin with, however half my guest list cancelled coming to the wedding so my husband decided to cancel the venue and we had the wedding in my in laws backyard. There was so much change in the last 4 days leading up to the wedding. Covid 19 may be blown out of proportion, but that doesn't mean all of your guest or even the state are level headed.

View Quoted Comment We’ve already rescheduled our March 21 wedding in Austin, Tx area, more or less forced to. I shared your emotions through the process, and had less than a week to decide. One week before- March 14 would have been fine to go through with wedding. On March 20, mandatory restriction of no more than 10 people to congregate, so if we had not canceled, hardly anyone could have come. In the end, we realized it was for the best. We would not want to put any of your our friends and family in harm’s way. All the vendors rescheduled, except one. So now that we’re over the shock, we’re looking forward to an October 17 wedding.
