Postponing again 🙂

This is all so emotionally draining! My suggestion is to make a pros/cons list. The biggest reason I didn't postpone is because none of us know what things will be like in the upcoming months, so I really just want to get married and have all the planning stress behind me.

For me, my bigger priority is to just marry my man this year and that means I won't have my wedding day be exactly how I originally planned it. But everyone is different. Good luck to you and to everyone in the same boat!

FH and I discussed this. Thankfully, we haven't had to postpone *yet*. But, in the even that we have to- we said we would postpone until next Fall but have our officiant marry us on the original wedding date so our anniversary will always be that date. It works for us- but everyone is different.

View Quoted Comment We would have been original wedding twins for 3-22-20. We have postponed our wedding to 11/22/20, a date that I didn't care about, but figured some sense of normacy might be had. Plus it was either that date or 12/20, which is too close to christmas/much colder month. I understand "safer than sorry" so I try to get through the waiting period again, but i found a mental defect. Like I had my guest favor blankets embroidered with the 3-22-20 and every time I see their box I get furious. I suggested that FH and I get married by our minister on 6/22 with one witness, but he wants one wedding date. So I got fustrated again. As things and places reopen halfway, I realize things will never get back to old normacy, so I have to check the norm every other month. The waiting feels like forever when you have all of your wedding things done and over with. I know Im spoiled, because families have been affected by covid, I just wanted to vent some frustratations and say good luck whenever your able to get married!

We're also in Maryland and pushed our wedding from April to August. It's really tough. My parents seem to think everything will be fine by August but I'm scared people won't want to come in August yet. I think they're scared the venue will charge us if we try to change again if we're legally 'allowed' by the state to have it in August... we have 150 people estimated. I'm at a loss.

I would talk to venue about their restrictions at this time and stay in contact with them, while places reopen. Also think about whether you mind guests wearing masks or not and how some people might decide not to come. I postponed from march to nov. And im still nervous that might not be enough time for a mask free celebration. But im determined to get married in 2020, just might have to move celebration further away if needed.

It is such a difficult decision and so incredibly stressed trying to postpone time and time again especially when we don't know if all of the stress will be worth it for 2020. We were supposed to get married May 30th, and in March we postponed to July thinking it would be fine by then, and now we are postponing again. We got super lucky with a date in October - but I worry that there will be a second wave and that we will be postponing again. At that point I feel like im not even going to want to pick a new date until there is a vaccine. Best of luck to you!
