We were supposed to be getting married with the big ceremony and reception on May 23rd. However, a couple weeks ago we decided to postpone the big celebration due to concerns about COVID-19, but are still planning on doing a small ceremony with family and close friends on the 23rd. The two weeks after we made the decision I felt incredibly depressed to the point where I put all of our wedding related decor, etc. in storage boxes under beds so I wouldn't have to look at it and keep being reminded of it. You spend all this time, money, and stress on this one day and then have all your plans ruined. We're still going to do the big "reception" later in August, but it's all just kind of lost it's magic for me. I'd rather just be married in a small courthouse ceremony and be done with it but my fiance still wants to do the reception. I feel guilty for still feeling so depressed about it-- it's just one stupid wedding, what does it matter when people are getting sick and dying? And I know there are a ton of people in our position too doing just fine with the decision to cancel or postpone. I know it's not about the celebration but about my fiance and I taking the next step in our relationship, but it's just been hard for me to get over. Talking to family, friend, and co-workers isn't always helpful. If I hear one more "it'll still be special"..... -_- I know it all comes from a good place, but it's just frustrating and still so depressing. Is anyone else still grieving over their wedding?
