Covid Brides - Let’s Vent!

Ugh so frustrating!! In my head I’m thinking: if you don’t want to come and it’s inconvenient for you, then don’t come. Also have had people ask me if I’m canceling our wedding that’s in December, I’m like uhm no, It’s 7 months away🤦🏼‍♀️

View Quoted Comment Yes!! Some people said oh you cancelled your wedding? Nooo it’s postponed, lol. And yes that attitude will get someone cut off the list, especially since we might have to cut the list down anyway...

Sorry you have to deal with comments after already having a new date set in stone. At least most people were supportive for you. The most annoying thing that happened after we postponed is when I texted my out of state family (very small family,texted like 8ppl) with the new date. Since they live out of state I wanted to tell them first so they have enough time to plan IF they want to fly to attend. It doesn’t mean im forcing them to come, or to RSVP right now but only 1 person responded. AND i texted them on our original wedding date. I didn’t get a “hey sorry today would have been ur wedding date but glad to hear you have a new date”. I didn’t even get a “thanks for the invite” or even an “OKAY”. Nothing.


I think its worse that I texted on our wedding date because I was already bummed, only 1 person reached out to me to give me kind words on our would be wedding day, and as soon as I heard the news I told my family who acted like they didnt care. My same family that is super small, the only family that would potentially come (my moms side of the family wont come) the same ppl who didnt RSVP the first time and when I asked if they plan to attend because I need to know for our guestcount responded with “ahh for the sake of the guestcount!” Like DUHH, same family that one of my cousins said oh i got ur wedding invitation 3 weeks ago but never opened it. Same cousins who didn’t respond to my text message w the new date but yet were posting on instagram right after.
But YOU KNOW WHAT woosahh and im over it whoever personally wants to be there for us will be there.

View Quoted Comment Some family members can be the worst! Believe it or not, some of those comments I posted with were from family members! But yes you have the right attitude, it’s your big day, and you will have a special wedding with your fiancé! We shouldn’t allow people to put us down, I just thought it would be funny to share what people have said.

I never rescheduled my wedding but I still heard all these things...some people are just irritating

View Quoted Comment Lmaooooooo

I am having a renewal, so I didn’t tell many of my friends, but like pp said, sometimes there are people who are too direct. Even when they didn’t mean to hurt you, but their words do.


I have a family member who is actually closest to me, who I share about my wedding items and updates regarding my dress, flowers, jewelry, and stuff. Not like I mention once a week, maybe more like once in 2-4 weeks. The words of responses was like: “What? Still thinking about a wedding?”, or “just cancel it”, or “whatever”, and many more. Imagine you sent 3 picture of bouquets asking which one looks best and the response was like those.
I don’t know if it’s jealousy or just straight because of lack of empathy? But at this point, allwe could do is to ignore.
Remove the hate, feel the love.🥂

View Quoted Comment Girl yes! I feel like even before all this anytime I tried to talk to someone about my wedding it was an inconvenience for people. This is only happening once I want it to be perfect! I leaned more towards jealousy with some people. When I originally told a friend I was engaged her first reaction was ‘idk what Kevin (her bf of 10 years) is waiting for.’

View Quoted Comment And I am so glad my teenage dream was to have a wedding privately at the beach 🤣


Cheers! 🥂

A coworker I hadn't seen in awhile walked into my office and said, "oh so your wedding is cancelled I bet." Um, no it isn't. At least yet anyway. I don't even want to talk about my wedding at work as it is and this woman has wormed her way into talking about it whenever I see her. ARGH!

View Quoted Comment That’s so rude!! Ugh I’m sorry. That sounds like jealousy!

Omg I can't even believe some people. Postponing was the last thing anyone of us want or wanted to do and for the people who are suppose to support us the most can just be so hurtful for no reason. Right now I have not postponed our July 17th wedding, but my fiances side is the ones that seem to have the issue and just assume we will and blowing off all our recommendations on hotels and even my fiances best man won't even get measurements for his suit bc he assumes we will just cancel. I think they are just upset bc one of his nephews weddings will more then likely be postponed or cancelled that is scheduled at the beginning of June. I feel horrible for them and know it has to be the worst, but their wedding will most likely have 250+ guest count when mine has only ever been under 50. My fiance already booked his flight and hotel for their wedding and plans on being there if he can, just hurts not to see that shown for my fiance!

Before this all happened people were pissed my wedding is on a friday. i dont let it get to me its about us not them

View Quoted Comment I can’t stand those types of remarks. Smh. So sorry we’re dealing with this.

I’ve had a lot of this recently and it hurts and makes your see people in a different light. I’ve learned that weddings are somehow an invitation for people to give opinions. The only opinion that matters is yours. I know I have personally been stopping people when they say hurtful comments. Such as saying things like “this is how it is, hope you can still make it” to protect myself. I’ve personally have kept a lot of my wedding plans private because before the pandemic I had opinions and I started to ask for some opinions once we postpone and did not get the response I wanted. While it sucks to feel like I can’t bounce ideas off of someone, I have learned to just my ideas and love my own thought process and Itis okay to not have some validate for me. Anyways I typed a mouthful, your day will be special no matter what you do because Itis YOUR your partners day.

So annoying!! 😑 We’ve also had a lot of support and nothing nasty; however, my very religious in-laws have asked a couple times “you’re at least having a civil ceremony right?”

View Quoted Comment Actually I take it back, there has been some nastiness. I almost forgot my favorite comment: “Oh now that you postponed {so and so} can make it so if they’re going I’m not going.” Excellent, let’s not wait to find out. We’ll count you out ✌️
