October Wedding 😩

10/17 Here! Our Wedding Will Be In VA But We Have No Plans On Canceling Or Rescheduling Unless We ABSOLUTELY Have To. We Will Continue To Plan As Normal. I Think We'll Be Fine By Then

View Quoted Comment I have all the major vendors booked! I do have some other vendors I want but I’m just gonna stop planning and use what I have. (Get rid of some fluff) no one will expect anything with what is going on. Hoping we can still have our weddings!! Do you have a backup plan?

View Quoted Comment As of right now I was just thinking of eloping on our wedding date and using the money we have saved to go ahead and buy our dream home. We both really want to have the wedding especially since his mom just passed because of the virus and that is all we used to talk about was the wedding with her so he really wanted it to go through.

Our wedding is 8/9. We are sticking it out as well as of now. The venue has advised that they think we will be good by August. Only time will tell. They have even offered a social distancing seating arrangement if needed. We are praying things get better. His family is traveling in from out of town as well and most have already booked their flights and stays. Keep us in prayer. Im going to wait until about mid- June to determine.

I'm a 10/3 bride from VA getting married in NC. I spoke with my wedding planner yesterday and she said they're feeling optimistic about September/October weddings and have not had any of her fall weddings reschedule yet. My fiance and I have also discussed getting married in our backyard if our venue is closed, and that I should make my final decision on that by 8/1. However, I'm just concerned if we do go through with a 10/3 wedding in NC or VA, are we going to be putting all of our family and friends at risk of getting the virus? Not sure that's something I can stomach either. Right now, we're just really hoping that things start to improve and we can still get married in NC on 10/3!!

My wedding is 11/7/2020 and we are waiting until about 2-3m out before making a decision. I have started to let my venders know that worst case scenario we will be postponing it. My fiancé was wanting us to make a decision last month but I told him to chill because we don’t know what will happen between now and then.

I’m getting married the same day 10-17-20 in Las Vegas. We have about 80 people coming and right now it’s a waiting game. We are are very nervous about the whole thing. The venue is still closed, so I don’t know what my options are. I feel like I may lose my money. We are thinking of still getting married in October locally and save the celebration for next year....now what to do about my dress.....🤷🏽‍♀️

I am having a destination wedding in September, with a local home reception in October. I feel your pain! This is a hard decision. We are taking it day by day to see how we are looking come mid June when we'd send invites out to decide if we need to postpone or not. I know it's so stressful! Hopefully you and I won't have to change anything! Good luck!

Hi! My wedding is scheduled for Oct 31, 2020 and my fiancé and I are waiting it out right now as well. With no clear consensus on the virus projections, we feel it’s the best thing to do. Obviously it will put us into a crunch time at some point with either scheduling or cancelling vendors, but we don’t know what else to do. Definitely feel you when it comes to your worries/anxiety right now!

I can definitely relate to your post! We are getting married 10/14/20 in Nags Head, NC and we have been discussing if we should postpone also. Luckily our wedding will be VERY small and intimate with literally 8 people total (just close family). We have rented a beach house and will be getting married on the beach and then having the reception at the beach house. When the quarantine started, we were in the process of hiring the caterer and scheduling tastings for that and the cake (which has obviously been put on hold). The hardest part is that I haven’t been able to go dress shopping at all and I’m a little unsure about trying to find one online 😩
From our most recent conversation, we would elope and then postpone the celebration to a later date. I sincerely hope that it doesn’t get to that point, but I think being open and flexible is the best way to go to hopefully negate really negative and discouraging feelings about our potential wedding days when the most important aspect is committing our lives and love to our significant others. I hope my post brings a little bit of optimism and empathy during a very difficult time. I have had to learn to let go of what I can’t control and reassess what is truly important to me and my future marriage, which may look a little different than what I dreamed about as a little girl or what expectations our families may have that are just not realistic and cause significant stress that could negatively impact my outlook toward our special day.

Waiting until July/August to decide 10/31/20 is my date. It is still a little too soon to call it. My wedding is small 80-90 people. This virus isn't going anywhere and if there is a vaccine everyone isnt going to get it asap. Only ones that may be 100 safe is planning a wedding for Fall of 2021. My take is as long as the vendors can be there I am having the wedding and will practice social distancing. If they don't want to come then that is their right. Ready to move on with this part of my life and really don't want to delay it another year, it may sound selfish but it is the truth.

View Quoted Comment Have you discussed reducing the price of your venue if you’re only allowed 10 people? Is that an option for you guys? I’m currently running into this issue.

View Quoted Comment If we have a gathering limit of only 10 we will reschedule. If we can gather without a # limit we will proceed. I personally will not pay full price for a venue if we have a social gathering limit as the venue doesn’t offer a reduced price.

View Quoted Comment That’s the boat I’m in right now. Do you have wedding insurance? I’m trying to figure out how rescheduling works, how much money is lost, and if it’s even worth it at that point.

I’m getting married on December 6th and I was feeling the same thing as you. ❤️We actually decided to completely change our plans and have a wedding in a small chapel with just our immediate family and our wedding party and then we are going to have a big wedding shower when the time is right. Definitely a tough decision but I did not want to have to reschedule I was much more open to changing plans then getting married later on because I just can’t wait!

Personally I've been a little on edge my date isn't until 2021 but as I'm planning I learned alot of people who was supposed to to get married is now moving their date to 2021 and I'm afraid I won't have a venue due to the virus. So a lady I know told me maybe I should try live wedding if I'm unable to get what I want but I'm not really social media crazy so that won't work . But for you I feel you if you can find a way for everyone to see It rather they are there will probably make you feel better. 🥰 Good luck

They just put us into phase one here in NC I’m getting married September 4th in Lake Lure NC.. girl it’s looking good for us don’t panic yet.. I already postponed once lol I was originally May 24th ..

Same date in RI I too am nervous, but as of right now still forging ahead

Hey Tia, I'm getting married on October 16th. Everyone is asking me now what are my plans. Everything is still a go but it is frustrating not knowing what's going to happen. My invitations are being printed as we speak. I pray that every thing will work out. In the event we have to postpone the wedding we will still get married on that day.

Also a 10/17/2020 bride here! Getting married in Michigan, and we are riding it out and praying it will still happen! We have almost everything booked aside from a party bus, and yesterday I finally gave my girls a deadline for ordering dresses. It sucks that they have to order them online and we’re missing out on that special experience of having a girls day out and seeing them in their dresses, but we are shifting planning as much as possible and making it work right now. Still hopeful for our 10/17/2020 dream wedding. I talked to our venue last week and everyone has been so nice and positive for us. Our venue says they are still planning to go for August/September weddings! They have been so accommodating to brides and grooms who had to reschedule already by pushing them back, so I’m sure they will be as accommodating if this goes on longer. Praying it doesn’t! Stay safe and stay well!!
