June 2020 brides: freaking out?

Jessie, on March 16, 2020 at 12:02 AM

Posted in Community Conversations 146

Our date is June 12th. FH keeps telling me things will be fine by then... but like everyone else, I've put so much thought and effort into this. I just want our magical day to happen. How are my fellow June brides feeling?

    Omg I am feeling the same way!! My wedding is June 27 2020! I am trying my best to stay positive and enjoy these memorable moments you only get once in your lifetime. I want to be prepared for a back up plan but don’t want to wait another year to get married! It’s just doesn’t feel right this is happening!

    My wedding is June 20 and I am praying that this will all die down by then. I postponed my bridal shower from March 28 to April 25. My bachelorette party is also on May 15-17 and I feel like things will be fine by then too. I’m just trying not to freak out until we know more in the next couple weeks. Smiley smile

    June 13th, and quite honestly FREAKING OUT. I can’t stop looking online for answers and I’m obviously finding nothing. Seems like people on here are optimistic about June, but I can’t help but worry about the unknown. Our venue only has 2 back up date options for this summer and I have already been engaged for a year and a half. Postponing another year would honestly drive me a bit insane. My fiancé and I are both all about getting married with everyone there, not the intimate kind of wedding. I don’t want to postpone now because I feel like it could be jumping the gun. So, until we have a better idea I’ll be in here daily looking at all my other June brides for answers! So, JUNE BRIDES🙋🏻‍♀️ Please keep coming on and posting your updates!! We all need help from each other!!! 🙏🏼

    June 6 here. We have decided to keep an eye on travel bans and when things in the city were planning our shindig are opening up again. We have until may 1 to reschedule without any real repercussions. Currently a bunch of things are closed until may 9 or 10 so if they get pushed we will probably reschedule. I am freaking out because this is just. Woah.

    I don't think you sound selfish. My wedding is June 12, and I feel the exact same way you do. Being an incredibly anxious over-thinker, I sat down and cried yesterday, terrified that my "bridal moment" as I had always pictured it might not happen the exact way I wanted it to. This is a day that we have all looked forward to and dreamed for years, and now it's finally our turn! There is no need to freak out yet.

    My dad, who is the most calculated and analytical person I've ever met, even told me to calm down. His words- if we are still in the midst of this in June, the wedding will be the least of our worries. By then, it will hopefully have calmed down, they will have much more access to testing- so guests who have concern that they're sick would be able to know definitively instead of the waiting game we're playing now since we don't have enough tests. That's nearly three months from now. That's a pretty long time with plenty of opportunity to maintain hope. The next couple of weeks will determine a lot as far as the feasibility of a June wedding goes. Let's just keep praying and trying not to fixate on the worst case scenario Smiley heart

    I'm June 12th. I am so glad that I'm not the only one feverishly searching the internet for answers. The fact that nobody knows what will happen in the next several weeks is freaking me out. I'm with you though- postponing after over a year of dreaming about this day and imagining how perfect it would be would break my heart. Looking forward to this wedding has been my sole motivation for getting through this really tough year that I've had.

    Postponing would break my heart. And the people in my life do not understand how hard it would be... Most of it has already been paid for. Getting all of the vendors on the same date for this year will be nearly impossible! That's why we booked it all a year in advance.

    Thank you for the kind words ❤️ Needed to hear this. For now I’m just moving forward with all planning in hopes of more light being shed on the situation in time for our big day. My heart hurts for everyone in this situation because I know they’re feeling the same as I am. Any brides who have updates in the coming weeks, please let us know!

    We just postponed our June 20 wedding to late August. We feel relieved but also overwhelmed. Our venue and all of our vendors were available so we know we are very lucky. We knew that we couldn’t wait in limbo for another month and we know that even if it “ends” in May, people will still be concerned about big gatherings and traveling. We notified our guests and they all were beyond supportive but also seemed very relieved.


    My advice if you are in this boat is to go with your gut and reach out to your vendors now before the influx of canceled March/April/May weddings really gets into gear. I knew that I couldn’t take the agony and anxiety of having to wait and I also knew that if we waited and had to postpone, our dates and vendor availability would be really limited. Thinking of you guys - this isn’t easy as it is let alone having to also plan a wedding.

    I posted before but more to add I guess.
    Our wedding is supposed be on June 13.
    My bachelorette weekend was supposed to be next month, but some of the girls were nervous about it so we ended up cancelling because the remainder of us wouldn’t have been able to cover the cost of them backing out. I honestly understood their concerns and we were headed to Tahoe which would have been pointless anyway if all the casinos and restaurants, etc remained closed like they are now. But still bummed obviously. Moving bridal shower to end of May vs beginning of May as intended. Hoping we won’t have to cancel that too. I feel like I can’t be the only one (but worry that I am the only one) feeling guilty/selfish that my most prevalent concern right now is how my wedding and all of it’s pre-wedding events are being negatively impacted by the virus. Obviously I am concerned for everyone’s health and safety as well, that’s why I made the decision to cancel the bachelorette and postpone the shower. I feel like with all I’ve been doing throughout this quarantine/isolation period is stress and worry about whether we’ll actually be getting married in June or not 😔It’s definitely helpful to know I’m not the only bride that is constantly worrying/stressing over all of this..

    June 20th wedding here! My FH and I have decided not to move our date. We are getting married on our date regardless, and if this hasn’t all blown over by then, then it will just be a smaller gathering.

    We’re getting married in June 6th and we’re going to wait until May 4th to decide if we need to postpone or not. In the meantime, we’re staying optimistic about this whole situation, we have decided we will move forward with our wedding planning as normal. I’m more than positive things will start getting better since our country can’t be in this type of economic crisis for much longer. So ladies, relax, we still have a few more months to go and a lot of things can happen in only a few days/weeks.

    My wedding is June 20, 2020 and this is my dream date! I am going to be heartbroken if I have to postpone. My bridal shower on April 25 is already postponed. My bachelorette on May 29 - June 1 is Vegas I probably not happening. My venue is letting me pick a backup date but most of the dates don't work for all my vendors or they fall on peoples birthdays. So my venue said we could even lookout mid-week dates. I don't want a fall wedding. I choose summer for a reason. Well summer solstice for a reason! Im am FREAKING OUT. Invites haven't been sent yet thankfully

    June 4th bride here... My be concern is: Let's say you reschedule to July, August, even as late as the fall or winter, and there's a rebound by that time or there is still a huge issue and still a risky situation for elderly and immunocompromised? The think is no one knows exactly what this thing is going to do. That's what's been keeping me up at night! Does it even make sense to reschedule to later this year?

    Hi Rebecca! I don't think you're being selfish at all! We are all feeling the same way. My concern is that even if I can have my wedding on June 20, I don't see how I will be able to fit in my shower and bachelorette before that date. I don't want to have the shower or Bach after the wedding (a bridesmaid suggested it and I said NO..lol). So just that alone is keeping me up and thinking I will probably have to postpone just so I can still have all my pre-wedding events. I'm so upset. I'm a planner bride, and I've had my whole wedding planned since January 2019! I don't want a fall wedding because a summer wedding has always been what I wanted, and now I might have to have it in late summer when it's hot and my venue is outdoors... Smiley sad

    Yeah, I already cancelled my bachelorette because it was scheduled next month and currently we’re all on Shelter in Place Orders until further notice.
    We’re planning for the shower to be late May right now, but we’re not sure if it will happen or not.
    My bridesmaids also suggested doing the bachelorette party after the wedding as a “Yay I’m a married woman” party, but it’s definitely not the same. I’m not sure I want to postpone the whole wedding just because I didn’t get to do the pre-wedding events, but I definitely feel sad that I may miss out on them 😔

    Hi! 6/19/20 is our date. The anxiety has been real. The non-anxious voice in my head says that we should wait to hear more from the CDC, so we are keeping our plans in place I think unless we get further recommendations on that end. I am also fearing that there could be a “resurgence” later in the summer if things can’t be put under control so I think we’d like to see things out in June if we can so we don’t have to keep dealing with this ongoing anxiety. Also, feeling like pushing the date back a month or two won’t really make that much of a difference for the elderly or those with autoimmunity issues Loving the positivity from everyone! Gives me hope!
