Our wedding was supposed to be in 2 DAYS, Saturday, 9/12. Unfortunately, due to Covid-19, we had to make the decision back in July to postpone, as our venue can not accommodate the size of the wedding we plan to have due to CDC guidelines. I can't help but be super disappointed and upset that we're losing the date we had picked out over 2 years ago. The weather is supposed to be absolutely beautiful in CT on 9/12 too. Someone made a comment to me like, "Just get over it you have a new date booked." Which was probably one of the worst things to say to me. It's such a strange feeling! It's just so upsetting. All the planning, all the daydreaming, gone. Well, for this date anyways. All I can think about is how me and my Fiancé would be greeting out of town family today, running around crazy completing last minute tasks and errands, receiving love and making memories with those out of state friends, and furthermore, 2 days away from saying "I do." I'm not quite sure if I've ever experienced something as disappointing as I feel right now, which makes me feel very selfish, but at the same time, we all know how much planning goes into a wedding. So I will have my pity party for the next 2 days, then find the strength to keep planning, and moving forward to our new wedding date in April 2021.
Anyone else experiencing this as well? If so how are you handling it and are you keeping the same venue/wedding plans? Anyone else have people in the wedding party dropping off also? I'll tell you what, you really learn who your "friends" are while planning a wedding. Nonetheless, planning a wedding during a pandemic.
