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 can understand your fear but try to not let it overtake you. This is the man of your dreams and as much as he wants everything to be perfect for you... I'm sure his heart is focused on you being his soul mate and bride. Plan a small wedding with limited family, stream your wedding or record so you can play for friends and family who can't attend. Then hold a reception later wearing your dress and tux. Your marriage is more important than the celebration and your family and friends will still be there to cheer with you!! Prayers for peace!

    Hi Melissa, all of my vendors have been very understanding except for the Airbnb I reserved. Because Airbnb only canceling reservation for April and May due to COVID-19. The host wants to wait and play it by ear. I’m willing to cancel now and just get 50% of my deposit but they are not considering just yet. The only expenses I have to pay twice is the save the date again and invitations, RSVP, and details cards. The advantage of postponing is I can lose the weight and get in shape for next May 😊. Good luck to everyone.

    Thank you so much for your work. Words cannot express my gratitude. Please try your best to keep yourself and your family safe, and I hope your eventual wedding is beautiful and filled with love and joy. I wish we could do more to help all our hospital workers. 🙁

    I am from and live in California. My wedding is scheduled for May 17th in New Orleans. I have guest supposed to be flying in from everywhere. Everything is already paid in full. Guest keep asking if the wedding is still on. As of now yes but it will most likely be cancelled due to the severe conditions there. The whole point of getting married in New Orleans was the festivities. Nola most likely won't be back to its usual self by then. I looked into rescheduling for later in the year and the only dates available are of course in hurricane season or one December date. So most likely we will have to wait another year. I am so frustrated. Oh to top it off our honeymoon is 2 week s in Rome 9 days of that is a cruise. Really??? Well the most important thing is that everyone stays safe and healthy. Will be cancelling the honeymoon and making a decision on the wedding soon. tenor.gif

    I just learned a few things and I am in virtually the same situation. Message my fiancee' at her cell, which she will send you if someone can connect us outside wedding wire.

    Best wishes.

    My wedding is 9/27/20 honey moon in Cancun right after.

    Things are far enough out that I am still remaining calm, for now. I am looking at event insurance but providers are only willing to provide insurance if we do not cancel. This is a bit stressful since a lot of my fiances family is from Washington. I am hoping that things will be alright by the end of September but I need to think about the possibility that they will not be ok.

    I have to say that part of me is looking at this in a different light, If plans have to change I am willing to be adaptable and see where that leads. Either way I've set the date and have every intention of tying the knot that day. There is always the possibility of things not going as planned, if that means that my fiance and I get married in an unconventional way...well i suppose that is fitting.

    But for some of us, having all of our loved ones there means a lot! Certainly not as much as marrying your fiance, but I would be lying if i said I would be okay with streaming my wedding, or having a very small wedding when we planned for a large one with everyone celebrating.

    Our wedding is May 30 too. We just made the difficult decision to postpone to 9/5/20. I'm still struggling with our decision but I know it's for the best.

    I am totally freaking out! We were suppose to get married May 2nd on the beach. They are all closed. Im waiting on an update from our wedding planner to see if ours will still be a go. My heart is so sad. My seamstress cancelled on me three days before she was to work on my dress. I did find another but Im at a loss. Everything is already monogrammed with that date and I just dont know what we will do at this point. Everything is paid and waiting. Marriage application will expire if we dont get married that day as well. Planner says we should know something by mid april for sure. That only gives me 13 days to finalize it all. Talk about anxiety!!! Im freaking out!!!!! Of course we were only having a small intimate wedding with our closes family so i really feel sad for everyone else that had big parties. Praying for us all

    It's a little reassuring to know we're all not alone here. I don't think my friends and family get it. Everyone is either blindly optimistic that it will workout or they don't understand why I'm stressed!

    The stay at home order was extended to April 30th. Are you still going forward if the restrictions are lifted?

    Great Attitude Cassandra!

    I commend you for being open minded. I believe this is showing many brides that being a "bridezilla" doesn't help either since this is out of everyone's control. I realize that ladies have had visions of their ideal wedding in mind since childhood but having the perfect mate that completes you for life is more important than an event that cost thousands of dollars.

    Love will Prevail!
