October brides-postpone or holding on

View Quoted Comment I attempted to get wedding/event insurance as COVID increased. Alot of banking institutions were on pause and a good many others clearly stated "COVID19 would not be a plausible disaster to warrant coverage" when I saw that my heart and mind deflated.


If you are able to find an institution for coverage best of luck indeed

I think we are about to postpone too (10/3/20 wedding). Our wedding is in New Hampshire and Massachusetts just enforced mandatory 14 day quarantine for all inbound travelers or a negative covid test that is no more than 3 days old. Most of my guests would be flying into Boston. I'm just not going to put my guests through that hassle and then the hassle of the wedding day with masks, sanitizers, no touching, etc. Making the final decision in the next couple days, but luckily my vendors are all being super cool so far about postponing.

Hang in there everyone, I know it sucks!!

DATE TWIN! What do I do? My FH and I keep going back and fourth and its making our planning experience harder than it should be. What are some of your deciding factors?

View Quoted Comment Omg cool! Well we’re long distance and don’t plan to move in together till we are married so that’s a huge determining factor for us, and I don’t want to wait a year for the wedding and get married on our original date when we don’t even know if things will be better in a year. We also had planned to have a small wedding regardless. And now it’s even smaller cause of covid. We just decided last week to for-go our venue and rent an air b&b and do everything ourselves. I think every couples situation is different and I think as long as the people r there that we really want then that’s what matters to us. I know it’s hard and sucks a lot of the joy out of wedding planning, but I’m just trying to look on the bright side cause at the end of all this I get to marry my person lol.

View Quoted Comment I was under the impression that you have cancellation coverage and general liability.


I figured cancellation coverage would be impossible but maybe still general liability. I don’t really know what that would mean if we couldn’t get insurance! 😬

SAME, our venue is charging 25% of the venue fee almost 3k to postpone even with the pandemic going on. It's making me dislike my venue. They should be working with us with everything going on!

I’m about ready to throw in the towel and postpone with everything being so uncertain I just think it would be better to switch to 2021.

It's official. We were October 17th, but we have postponed our big celebration until sometime in 2021. New date and location are going to be decided in the next couple of months. We did decided to still get legally married this year surrounded by our parents, siblings, grandparents, and bridal party. I can't wait to marry my man and be a Mrs.

Our original date was 10/04/20. 2 weeks ago we made the decision to postpone, but still get married on our original date and just have another big wedding next year. It's really hard on me, but I'm trying to be positive about it. I just couldn't bring myself to have a wedding where everyone, including us, are wearing masks and there is so much restrictions. I deserve a wedding that I dreamed of. The important part is that I'm going to marry the man I love in two months, that's all that matters and then we will celebrate and have the wedding we planned with our loved ones in May.

As of now we're moving forward with out 10/10/20 wedding. We're anticipating around 25-30 guests-all immediate family-and both the ceremony and reception are outdoors. We plan on reevaluating in September if things haven't eased up but because we live in a more 'agricultural' area and cases have been declining, we think we'll be ok.

We just made the decision to postpone to 10/2/21, original date 10/3/20.

The state of MA enforced a mandatory 14 day quarantine starting tomorrow and our airline cancelled our roundtrip flight from CA. It's a bummer, but we're both already so relieved. My fiance is also high risk and many of our guests of honor had to bow out because of the risk.

So, bittersweet day for us today. Sad to have to postpone but SO relieved to not have the daily stress of constant changes, adjustments, and chaos.

View Quoted Comment All will go well with this change. Let me just say I am glad you feel relief at having things rescheduled (I felt the exact same) just coping with the change. But it will be alright. Many blessings to you and your future spouse 💖

I'm in Mississippi, so I am right there with you. With cases on the rise in MS, we are thinking about postponing until next year. We have been contacting all of our vendors to see if any dates are open in the Spring of 2021. We just need to make a decision this week because I keep stress eating lol. I hate all this uncertainty. And yes, both of our states are doing things SO backwards like most things.

Hey there,


I’m in NJ and my wedding was suppose to be 10/03/20 but I just moved it this week to June 26,21. at first I was bummed but now I feel relieved with everything going on we just want to be able to enjoy the whole experience. Good luck!

View Quoted Comment I have been to a few weddings in Ohio and you wouldnt even know covid existed. Im not post phoning. Our governor tested positive one day negative hours later. I don’t believe half of what they say anymore

Hello everyone. My wedding date is 0ctober 16, 2020. My FH and I have been going back and forth about should we change the date or keep it because of Covid. I called the manager at the Venue and he said if we change the date we cannot set a new one right away. We have to wait 6 weeks from the date we want to see if it’s still available. I thought that was crazy. So for instance If I want April 10, 2020 I have to call 6 weeks prior to see if that date is available. I cannot do that because there’s a possibility I cannot take off work. I am so stressed it’s crazy. I really want to keep my date. We can socially distance and wear masks. My FH is scared someone will catch Covid at the wedding. I would feel horrible as well. We cannot get our money back from the venue. It’s non refundable. I don’t know what to do. I was truly excited about getting engaged because I Never thought I would get married. Now this. I don’t know anymore.

This is my date as well. We are not postponing, we have all the safety measures in places, plus we have under 100 guests. A lot of future hubby's family wont be able to postpone unless we make it for a literal year later (a lot of them are using vacation time to come for this.) So for us, this is it!

Work has kept me busy also we were originally for aug of this yr but we postponed for nxt Aug.. I didn't want to endanger no one especially the older family members..
