Maryland Brides what Now?

Ladies 😩 What are we going to do? Governor Hogan just issued the 10 persons max gathering limit. When the Mayor did it last Friday for the city it was already over for us (our venue is in Baltimore City) but now that the Governor just stated it, I really don't see a chance for us now. We were hoping he'd lift it come February 😬

Also I see that telework is now mandatory for all state workers and there is no in-person customer facing operations at state facilities...so does that mean that even if we wanted to try for a court house wedding, we're no longer able to?
I feel stuck. Thoughts?

We had 120 but not too sure on the count at this point. We had about 10 people let us know they weren't comfortable. We have just decided that it's not safe either way. Folks have been WAITING for this wedding lol and I want everyone to have a good time safely and this is just not the time for us. But I feel like with that count, does it include like the vendors as well. That's another thing...

Wow! That's a lot! I thought and thought about that way too, but I think 🤔 that having the venue do everything was better for me... It's very hard! Especially with a big close-nit family!!

Yeah majority of our guests are married too so yeah it's tough trying to figure out who can't come. I AM DONE with wedding planning lol, I do not want to plan another guest list so we will just wait.

Awww yeah it's just not looking too good here smh. I have high hopes for the Fall. I now know about 13 people who've gotten the vaccine and they all seem to be doing fine so it may actually be able to happen by then...🤞🏾🤞🏾🤞🏾

I as well know a bunch of people who have received it. My job offered it but I decided to pass the first go round of it lol. But hopefully because at this point I am ready for it to come and go. If I didn't already have my dress/veil as well as my bridesmaids then I think I honestly would just cancel it. But I don't want to waste my money lol

Yes same for us! But now we don't even want anything as big anymore. We talked about it and decided to cut our 100+ guestlist and go with 80 or under now

Yeah I can feel that. I think we're at about 107 from 120 lol. I just want the wedding, it can be just us, our parents and the dj at this point 🤷🏾‍♀️😂 We've decided that we're still going to take a honeymoon in March. We need the break!!!

I definitely get it, thats why my husband and I ended up last minute planning the October minimony because we had a feeling the second wave would cancel March. Now I am glad that we did. But I don't blame you, I need a vacation at this point!!

Hi All! I am looking to sublet my venue for July 10, 2021 at La Banque on the water in Havre de Grace, MD. We ended up getting married in a small ceremony due to Covid and cannot get our venue money back unless someone rebooks our date. Feel free to reach out if you or anyone you know could be interested!!
