Couples getting married on October 10, 2020

View Quoted Comment

I am a bit nervous, but considering we're about 7 months away I think all we can do is monitor the situation and reassess in the summer. I'm hopeful though if people stay home whenever possible, that we'll be getting married on 10/10

I did have to postpone my wedding shower though I live in NYC so we're really feeling the brunt of the virus. My shower was scheduled for this Sunday 3/22 so I had to push it back to 5/17. It's right after the CDC guideline of 8 weeks for not having gatherings of 50+ people, so I'm hopeful that all will be okay by then and I can celebrate then instead of postponing for a second time.

View Quoted Comment Nervous, kind of halted planning. 😟 I booked all of my vendors before the end of 2019, so deposits have been sent, but the details has not been set-up. Most of them, presiding priest, church, venue, photographer and videographer, travel booking, etc...., wait for 6 months before to finalize details. A 30-day lockdown had just been issued in Las Vegas, my city, where my wedding would be. Since the lights are off here and gambling banned, I’m also monitoring not just the virus but the economic effect all these will have on us, our families, and all friends in light of traveling here for our wedding as wedding parties and guests. Prayers of healing is what fiance and I are focused on right now. Unfortunately, planning will be paused.

View Quoted Comment I personally am not that nervous about the virus affecting our wedding just because of how far out it is. I have faith that it will be under control by then.

View Quoted Comment I found my dress just last week! This was only my second time going wedding dress shopping. I tried on at least 6 dresses that day and when I put my dress back on I knew I had to get because I was so in love with then. I still look at the picture of me wearing it in the store and get the butterflies all over again!

View Quoted Comment We just engaged last month (February 26th)! I think we are planning to get our engagement pictures done at the end of May so that maybe it can be well into spring and get some pretty flowers/ bright scenery in our photo shoot. Unless you decide to put your pictures on your invitations like we will, I don’t think there is a date too early or too late to get your engagement pictures done!

Is anyone working on a plan B for a COVID-19 situation? I should be hearing back from our coordinator within the next week about our options, since we were supposed to have our details meeting on March 14th.

I'm thinking about one of two options:
A. If we can still have a wedding, but there is a 50-person gathering limit, reducing the number of guests. We have sent out STDs to our 100 guests, but I would think people would understand if they were uninvited, given the circumstances, as long as we send out a nice letter to each of them. I know this goes against tradition etiquette, but extreme actions are required in extreme cases.
B. Having a court wedding on our date, but postponing everything to October 2021. This makes me disappointed, since we've been engaged since July 2018 and couldn't do October 2019 because of my dad's military deployment, but it would still be ok.

Am I the only one who is nervous about this???

View Quoted Comment You are not the only one. I have a 20 person wedding and I'm still worried as im high risk. Im not sure what to do either...

View Quoted Comment Im trying not to think negative. I have a big feeling this will all be over by mid may but there's always that little thought of what if in the back of my head. I decided we're going to continue on as if nothing is wrong and reassess in June if its still an issue. None of my vendors have reached out so I'm taking that as a sign that it's all good. We've been engaged since June 2016 so i feel what you're feeling but if we don't get our date this year I'll just push it to another one. My biggest concern is spending money on services i won't get if i move the date. But we'll see. Wishing everyone luck!

View Quoted Comment Hey! I’m in NYC too! We’re reassessing come June/July. My bridal shower is supposed to be 7/26. I feel the same way you do. I don’t want to think of Plan B’s until I absolutely have to. Otherwise my anxiety sky rockets.

View Quoted Comment Not nervous, just standing by and rolling with it. But we definitely have a Plan B. For me, it’s the only way to plan an event . So we had one from the start. HOWEVER, since COVID-19, we’ve come up with a Plan C as well. 😂


Plan B- have a ceremony with FH and I on our wedding date. Then do a simple “renewal” and reception celebration with guests at a later time (at our same destination location in Las Vegas)
Plan C- have a ceremony with FH and I on our wedding date. Then do a simple “renewal” and reception celebration with guests at a later time, here is San Diego in our backyard. We already host lots of parties here and recently rented a large tent in the backyard for FH’s birthday. So we would just do the same thing for the wedding (since we’re only having 65 guests).
Of course, we’d love to keep our original plans. But the main thing is that we want to get married on 10/10/20. The rest is flexible.

I am in Connecticut. Where are some nice, cheap wedding venues?

An article I saw this morning about the predicted trend of COVID-19. Most of this info is Wisconsin specific, but nationwide it looks like it's predicted to peak in mid-April and most hospitalizations done by early- mid July.

Not nervous just disappointed. We will have to move out cake trials and bridesmaids dress shopping as those are 4/18 & 4/19. Also worried about finances as my job is non essential. Stressing over the unknown is what keeps me up at night. However, I am looking forward to my October apple orchard wedding with perfect weather.


Don't stress! It's too early!

How is everyone? It's the 6 month mark! Are you excited, nervous, being cautiously excited? All of this unknown is killing me. We have made a plan b for our wedding which has me less stress. We pick up our cake tasting today. Bittersweet that this virus has taken one of the fun moments of wedding planning away. Next weekend was supposed to be bridesmaid dresses. How have your plans stopped, proceeded or improvised?

View Quoted Comment Tomorrow was supposed to be bridesmaid dress shopping and a few weeks after that was supposed to be my makeup trial. My FFIL recently passed related to this virus. He was supposed to marry us. I know he was so excited to be a part of our day not just as the father of the groom but our officiant. We’re all just devastated and wedding planning is completely on hold. I’m just going thru the motions of the day. Trying to take it one day at a time.

View Quoted Comment I am so sorry for your loss! I can totally understand putting planning on hold and taking time to grieve. Prayers to you and your family during this difficult time 🙏

I contacted our reception venue today to ask about our first payment. It’s due on 5/1 and I just wanted to know what will happen if moving forward we have to change the date. I’m not worried about it being 6 months out but its just surreal.

Has anyone with a 10-10-2020 wedding thought about rescheduling?


Not too sure how all of this is going to go.

We definitely are. We are deciding by May 30th - may do October 2021.

Is May 30th your deadline because it's your goal date? Or do you have a deposit due soon after that would not be refundable if you changed the date?
