Covid-19 and Wedding

View Quoted Comment Yes! We decided to power thru. One couple who have 3 small kids are considering cancelling - not because of the virus but because they’re worried about leaving their kids. We’re 20 guests over our guarantee so I’m not really mad!

View Quoted Comment My venue hasn’t recommended a reschedule. Did they say why?
This kinda scares me, but I know that could be a possibility if things get worse here. We only have 9 presumptive cases in my area

View Quoted Comment Our wedding was scheduled for next Sunday (3/22) in Los Angeles. We decided to postpone because most of our wedding party are outside California and feared that they would get stuck. Plus we don’t want to put those who live with high-risk individuals to take the risk. We originally had 86 guests confirmed. For us it boiled down to this: what does this wedding mean to us? Another way we thought about it is that everything right now is pointing to this getting worse before it gets better. While we don’t know when it will get better, what we do know today is that if we move forward with our wedding, we are 100% guaranteed that we will spend the day worried and sad, which is not what we want. Thankfully, most of our vendors have been understanding so far and not charging any fees or charging very little to postpone the event. This is one of the hardest decisions we’ve ever made as a couple, and as each day goes by, I’m feeling validated that it’s the right decision for us. My heart goes out to you and hope you can come to a decision that will give you the most peace of mind and heart. ♥️

If the venue didn't cancel then you should be fine. You should if not already going to ask people to not hug, or shake hands. Maybe have extra hand sanitizer if you can find any. Try not to stress and play it by ear.

My wedding isn’t until August so I’m just waiting to see what happens. We’re not traveling anywhere for our honeymoon. Not until this blows over at least. I know it sounds scary and yes it is a virus. I can honestly be treated at home unless breathing is labored or there’s a fever of 103 and Things like Tylenol or Ibuprofen aren’t helping.

Date twin also! Our venue as of now has said they are still having events and lowered catering minimums because they know some people won’t show. Half of me wants to reschedule because I don’t want elderly family picking between my wedding and their health, then the other half is like that was a lot of planning. Our honeymoon got canceled today because the country we were going to won’t allow US citizens. This is a lot going on and it definitely bums me out. The good thing with us, is that my future Father In law is marrying us, so we can get married that day anyways. But then it opens up why have a wedding after. It’s definitely stressful, but at the end of the day, a lot of it is out of our control.

View Quoted Comment I'm with you!!! We're the;21st! Everything is still on ...we have only had 2 cancellations ..both military. ..literally it's day to day...uhg

OMG...I HEART GO OUT TO YOU. TALK ABOIT ANXIETY. BREATHE, GOD MAKES NO MISTAKES. YOUR DAY WILL GO ON‼

Omg, I'm feeling it tooo! Our wedding is in May and today they annouced that all the local schools are closing until the first week of April. I wasn't at all worried about my wedding until I heard this. The cruiseline we booked our honeymoon through also suspended any cruises for the next 30 days yesterday. So, naturally I'm freaking out a little! But, in talking to my bridesmaids, I do feel a little better.. they were reassuring that whatever happens we will make it work. It's just a party, we can fix it! It just may not be EXACTLY what we were planning. The money aspect of it does worry me the most tho. I contacted my venue, photographer and DJ and asked them what they're policy is around a canceled wedding in these circumstances and what their refund policy is and options for postponing if it came to that. The frustrating part is that I've been planning this wedding for the past two years and it could all fall apart before it even happens! But, I'm trying my best to keep a positive and open mind... maybe it'll all be over in a few weeks! Who knows..

View Quoted Comment Awwww. I can relate too. Reading your post is exactly how I feel too! Hang in there and have faith in God that he will deliver us through this!

View Quoted Comment We postponed until June 26th hoping by then with all the precautions that are being done and the warmer weather it will be gone 🙏🏻 I don’t know what we will do if this is still going on the end of June. The venue and our vendors have been fantastic, most of our guests were thankful that we rescheduled. I think if we kept it March 21 it would have added to the stress of the day

Ours is March 30th and destination. We've had 6 people cancel. It's in FL but the venue reassured me everything is well there and we are good to go. Taking it day by day. Best of luck to us all!

View Quoted Comment Miss Cheryl,
Amen and God bless you! There is power in the name of Jesus.

View Quoted Comment We are date twins Francesca. I've been a little worried & then it goes away then it comes back. We are still planning on having our wedding on April 24th as well. We have a lot of out of town guest. Only two family members are flying but I am not sure if they will make it, they sound a little uneasy about traveling on the airplane, one is from Hawaii & the other from Texas. They have families but they are not elderly.


I still want our wedding even if they cant make it. The only way I would postpone is if it gets so much worse where they have to shut down everything, then we would have no choice & hopefully we would get deposits back since it wouldn't be us canceling.

I understand how you feel. Mine is this Saturday 3/21 and like you, I’m anxious. I’m praying for all of us. Hope this all works out for you.

Well my wedding is scheduled for April 4, 2020. We had family and friends coming from out of town. We decided to postpone the wedding for the health and safety of guest, vendors and ourselves. I am a cancer survivor and a diabetic. The alternative plan is to still get married in a room at the church with one or two witnesses with our pastor. Our faith in God has given us strength to accept this current state of emergency and value the marriage over the wedding. We are so grateful to be in each others life that as long as we are together and healthy, we know we can get through anything.

View Quoted Comment This is my wedding day too, and I’m so uncertain but hopeful. We don’t have all of our RSVPs yet and I’m wondering if the count will drop because of this but like you said, I’m still wearing my dress and getting married that day no matter what.

My wedding is also 3/29 and I have been in tears. My wedding guest count is only 50 and I’m worried people will be so scared to come.

I'm in Chicago. Our wedding was supposed to be on March 29th. We were able to postpone our wedding until June. ALL of our vendors were able to change our date and waived all cancellation/change fees, thank goodness!

View Quoted Comment We are wedding buddies and my uncle and cousin have cancelled due to the coronavirus.. that’s because they are flying I just pray it doesn’t get any worse because we have also planned this for 14 months and I would hate to see everything go to waste.. I’ve been very tearful all weekend.. our honeymoon was cancelled due to the coronavirus. It’s like there is no way to predict anything and everything is out of our hands.
