July Wedding

View Quoted Comment Same! Our original date was 3/21 and we rescheduled for 7/18 and now I'm totally freaking out that it will need to be pushed back farther

Nope, mine is still planned for July 18 and will keep it that way. I’m not changing my day because the entire world is afraid.

Original date on July 18 2020, but postponing until June 4 2021. We are still going to get legally married but something small with just immediate family until we can have the “big” wedding. My wedding planner had great advice regarding the stress of trying to keep the original date with the likeliness of it being cancelled last minute vs just rescheduling and not dealing with as much stress or disappointment and celebrating when the time is truly right . Also even my caterer agreed that she would not want to get married this summer because everyone will need gloves/masks while serving food and people
would be nervous to eat and drink together

We are keeping our 7/11 date and may be cutting guests down to just our immediate fam.

HI! how are you planning on relaying this message to "uninvited" guests?

We are waiting to send invites until we make our final decision in a week or two. It's looking like we will have to cut it down to a 10 person list. As all the guests already know our date/that they are invited (just through talking to them socially right before the pandemic, even though we haven't sent out official invites) it's looking like we will be sending everyone the following letter I wrote and have ready to print and send out if needed:::

"To the dearest people in our lives,

Although we wish to be able to have the honor of your presence at our wedding, the current pandemic has forced us to change plans. After much deliberation we will be modifying our original guest list. We will be going forward with an intimate ceremony on 7/11/2020 which will be limited to only our parents and siblings. As much as your presence will be missed, and we are extremely saddened to share this news, please know that we are making this call with everyone's health in mind. In the mean time, we look forward to the day when we can all gather safely and catch up on each other's lives.

With more love than one letter can encompass,

View Quoted Comment My origins wedding date is July 25 too! We have decided to postpone. We are planning for a group of slightly over 100 people and I’m guessing there will still be gathering restrictions at that time. And I agree with what you said - even if we could have it, some people will choose not to come because they are still nervous, people won’t want to be close, hug, dance on the dance floor. We’ve postponed for 2021 and I’m hoping that will allow for more distance from all this mess. ❤️

Wedding date 07/25/2020, in Perkasie PA inviting 300 people. We have people traveling mainly from South Jersey and New York City, then about 50 people flying from San Fran, LA, Hawaii, Norway, Florida, & Arizona. We officially decided to postpone today. We are lucky that our venue and main vendors are available for the similar dates 07/17 or 07/24 of 2021.

My fiancé and I do believe this issue will resurge and we may go through all of this again next year. But in the mean time, I feel so much less stressed. What finally changed my mind was envisioning everyone in masks and no one on the dance floor. And even if next year we are still dealing with COVID issues, at least in the mean time we can get excited for the small ceremony we will still have this July 25th. Depending on what restrictions allow, we'll host a ceremony & socially distanced outdoor dinner & karaoke in my parents' backyard! (the original wedding I wanted anyway!) And this way our grandparents will be able to attend and enjoy!

Best of luck to everyone! I know I was going to punch someone if I heard "your wedding will be magical no matter when it happens!" Like yeah, no duh, we all know that. So I'll say that this sucks, I hope you have a good support system, and even if it is a choice of precaution, you may feel way better after deciding to postpone. Trust me, I cried for weeks over this ridiculousness and the ultimate decision. So yes, it sucks. Cannot emphasize that enough. Still, The Rolling Stones put it best: "you can't always get what you want but if you try sometimes, well, you just might find you get what you need!"

We were July 2, 2020 and postponed to July 1, 2021. Still deciding about getting legally married this summer. We are in The Bay Area of CA.

View Quoted Comment Our wedding is scheduled for the same day! We are still hopeful!

Our June 28 th wedding in New Jersey has to be postponed

We are thinking about postponing or carrying on with only a few close family members. Our date is July 11, 2020. This is such a tough decision to have to make😣.

Starting to plan to postpone 7/17/20 to December 2020. Waiting until 2021 is too long for us to wait to start a family. If we end up not being able to do December, we will cancel.

We have decided to keep our original 7-11 date and just have our parents, siblings, officiant, and photographer - all that really matters to me and FH is starting our futures together

We just officially moved ours from 7/11/20 to 7/10/21 because we have a large wedding party and guest list. We are in Michigan and some of our wedding party live in places with very large numbers of cases. We didnt want to chance safety and health of our loves ones and we also didnt want to worry about changing our guest list last minute. Sorry to everyone having to make these tough decisions.

I am scheduled for July 25 I am not changing
