FH and I were due to wed 12 December 2020 (our anniversary) – now postponed to 12 December 2021 because of COVID.I wasn’t fussed about postponing the wedding because there were lots of reasons for it but I have since lost all excitement for the wedding so much so that I honestly wouldn’t care about cancelling and eloping instead (with our family).

I don’t want to get married on any date other than our anniversary so regardless of what we do, we’ll marry on 12 December 2021 so my view is we may as well go ahead with everything as planned. I just don’t really know how to feel that same spark again. Obviously I can’t wait to marry my partner but I’m now in a wedding slump.

For my fellow postponed wedding brides, how did you get your mojo back and re-ignite the excitement?

I was fortunate that my mom planned a virtual engagement party for us. That helpd out a lot.

My fiance and I planned something fun for our original date, which helped us get over the sadness of postponing, and it turned our original date into a celebration. Once that date passed, we started looking at what aspects of our wedding we could improve, or small details we could add now that we have more time. Also, being on these forums and reading about everyone's weddings has been helpful for me in keeping excitement for my own wedding! Are there any aspects to your wedding that you maybe didn't have time to work on before, that you could focus on now?

I’m naturally quite organised so I literally had almost everything for the wedding planned except for the finer details (i.e. seating charts, day of timeline etc) so other than re-ordering invitations, I don’t really have anything left to do until the last 2-3 months! We are going out for dinner this weekend for our anniversary but nothing big otherwise. Honestly I feel like I’m just hoping if I can keep trying to get excited about it I will.

We turned our original date to a STD photos with wedding cake. After that the longggggg wait until 2022 😩 I am not excited anymore. I feel like time moves soooo slow. I keep looking at wedding stuff to keep my mind from “hey I am getting married”, and also think of stuff that may improves my attire 🤷🏻‍♀️ I try my best to keep myself busy. It helps a bit.

Is all of your planning complete? If not, finishing that up is an idea. If the planning is complete, then you’re good to go and can just happily live life until the wedding is closer. However, what specific “excitement” are you seeking?
