Is this too wordy??

I think you could cut out everything before we have made the tough decision. And I don’t think they need the countdown. It’s all sweet but I would never read all this on FB and it’s definitely wordy. Best wishes!

It's definitely a lot. I think under the current circumstances, people would understand no matter what. This is what my mom said in the email we sent out to all our guests:

We have rescheduled Hillary and Jim’s wedding, due to the coronavirus pandemic. Please “Save the Date” for Sunday, September 13th.
Hillary and Jim are still planning to get married in an intimate, private ceremony on April 25th. We will recreate the ceremony on September 13 at the same great venue (Morgan Manufacturing), with the same wonderful food, same fantastic party and, most importantly, lots and lots of love!
Please be on the lookout for an official invitation in mid-July and check HillaryandJim.com for updates.
We look forward to celebrating with you in September! Be safe and stay healthy!
Love,Marjie and Barry

We sent out another email for when we made our plans for our small April 25th ceremony with just the info for the Zoom and then another Zoom invite for a cocktail hour later in the day.

Yes, I agree. No offense to you at all, but most people are too wordy with this sort of thing (with most things; I am always editing out people's words at work in our deliverables). And mostly because the reader is just not gonna read all of that.

So, know that you are making the right decision and you don't have to explain all the ins and outs to anyone. Just state your intention simply and with love (without "showing your work"), and you are good.

Editing is my favorite activity!! Here is my idea: "Save our new date!! In
these times of uncertainty and unanswered questions a few things remain
constant, one of them being the unwavering love and support Casey and I have
for each other. (insert heart shape). Our new plans are to have a Wedding Celebration and Reception with all of you on June 5th 2021, please mark your calendars. We have also made the exciting decision to honor our wedding date of 06.06.2020 by having a small ceremony with our immediate families. We will have a live stream of the ceremony on this facebook page so we can still have you all with us!! The live stream will begin at 4PM. June 6th is the date we chose to be wed nearly a year and a half ago already - the countdown to marry my best friend started at 539 days and as we stand today 35 days. We will continue to update you here with our plans for the live stream and also our future reception plans. (We will be sending out another round of invitations to all to confirm our celebration location and other details). This has not been the
easiest decision to make but Casey and I are so excited to begin our new adventure together as husband and wife and thank each of you for your love and support through all of this."

Aw glad you like it!. I think it's important to keep your personality and vibe within the message. Anyway, the only other thought I had (after I posted of course) was to end, with "We can't wait to celebrate with all of you in 2021."
