Did you postpone?

We did. Our venue was opening the week prior to the wedding and state and local regulations are not allowing for receptions at this time. If regulations don’t change by the end of September, we’ll postpone the reception again and just elope.

My fiance and I postponed our July 31, 2020 wedding. Our main reasoning was (obviously) COVID - our state was doing OK at the time we postponed, but states where many of our guests were coming in from were spiking pretty badly, and we just did not feel that we could go through with our wedding and risk anyone getting COVID. We felt relief once we made the decision, and especially still feel relief now, since our state has had a small spike in the past few weeks. We feel it was the right decision for us.

I also forgot to add that the other reason we postponed was that our wedding was not shaping up to be the wedding we wanted, due to the restrictions (masks, social distancing, limited guest list, etc). So we postponed in hopes that some of these restrictions will be gone by the time our new wedding date is here.

I’m right there with Lisa. We are going to have a small ceremony and celebrate next year. If we went through with our wedding as planned, we wouldn’t be able to socialize with our guests. We can’t hug them & be close to them due to the pandemic. And that’s what we want. We will still get married in August as planned and do a big celebration next year.

We did; October 2020 to October 2021. There were many factors that led us to postpone.

1. FH is unemployed because of COVID,
2. Many family members are not willing to travel without a vaccine, 3. The overall safety of us & our guests, 4. We don’t want to reduce the guest list, 5. We don’t want to wear masks & social distance, 6. We want to go on a traditional honeymoon and feel that’s not possible due to finances & COVID.
Postponing was the right decision for us.

We still cannot decide if we want to reschedule our wedding. We just learned that everyone will have to wear masks, social distance, etc. Our wedding is scheduled for October 17th, 2020, so we are really not sure what we want to do! we want to be able to enjoy our wedding night and not have to worry about social distancing and masks. We don’t really love the idea of having a ceremony then celebrating a year from then... and if we do, not at the place we planned to have our wedding. We have been together 10 years, so rescheduling the ceremony is not really an option, we just want to be married!

We did postpone

Main reason, international travel, then Immune compromised guests, quarantine when we get home, And social distancing rules. The travel is the biggest one. Our wedding is small, under 30 guests. If it was local I would have proceeded I think, even with reduced guest list. I am also in BC Canada so we are in a good position for small weddings.

We just decided today to postpone our 9/26/20 wedding in CO. Just getting hammered with rona obstacles. Honestly it’s kind of a relief, and I’m ok with it. We’re still getting married on our date but will celebrate next year with friends and family.

We postponed from 8/2021 to 8/2022 in hopes that there will be little to no restrictions by the tie our new date gets here. We just didn't see things clearing up enough by 2021 to still move forward with the wedding we want.

I wish my brother and his fiancee had the same mentality; they're pushing to keep as much as possible from their original plans. You would think after several message from the universe, they would reschedule.

Yes, we decided to postpone due to immediate family unable to attend because they live in a “hot spot covid” location.

View Quoted Comment It's definitely a tough decision, that's for sure. Especially not knowing if things will be better by the new date. Is your brother's wedding date still a few months out? If so, maybe your brother and his fiancee will reconsider as time gets closer to their wedding day? I hope everything goes well, regardless of if they postpone or not!

Nope... Labor Day weekend in a very busy seasonal town. Over half of the guests that can still come are either from other states, elderly, or immune compromised.

View Quoted Comment Oh wow! Date is definitely coming up quick. Hopefully they're planning to take precautions (masks, distanced seating, hand sanitizer, etc). I've seen some pretty creative precautions on these forums that people are taking so they can still be able to safely go through with their weddings even with COVID.

Nope to all of that. They're gonna shove an entire 50-person wedding into a space about the size of your average backyard.

We are now considering postponing our December 2020 wedding because our local government announced weddings cannot have 'dancing, singing or mingling' and must strictly be seated.

We're pretty ok with postponing because we're realising that our international friends and family will *hopefully* be able to attend next year, we'll be able to go on our honeymoon, and we have a chance to save a little bit more.

So my wedding day is 11/14/20. It’s my FH grandparents 50th wedding anniversary. We have decided come hail or high water we are getting married. We do live in small town AZ where things are unlikely to close even with COVID rising. If we absolutely have to, we will have a small ceremony and a reception a year later, but I’m optimistic we won’t have to.

Yes, we postponed from 10/10/20 to 10/30/21. We were/are having a destination wedding weekend in Las Vegas that consists of three days of events (a welcome gathering on Friday, the wedding on Saturday and a thank you/farewell brunch on Sunday) for our 65 guests. But the pandemic continued, states shut down, then opened up and stumbled through the guidelines, cases increased and force this second partial shut down. So we didn’t want our guests to have to travel, stay nights at the hotel and feel uncomfortable for the sake of attending our wedding. Additionally, FH and I couldn’t properly host the weekend celebration that we wanted under the current conditions/guidelines. So we are giving it a little over a year and will see how life is at that point. We definitely won’t postpone again and will have to be flexible and adjust as needed. However, if our wedding was local and a single day event for only a few hours, we may have moved forward with it.
