September brides- freaking out or not?

Our wedding date is September 4, I’ve been feeling very anxious. COVID numbers raising, hoping we make it to our date. Working on last minute details. Feeling like there’s still so much to do. Ahhh 😱 😯

Sigh, our wedding was to have been the 18th September, and due to lockdowns in our country, we've had to postpone. We are now booked for Feb next year.

I know different countries are handling things differently, but my advice is to look at the type of event you'd be able to have, and consider whether you'd feel safe and comfortable, and whether it would be the kind of event that you'd hoped.

For example, for us, once we're able to move freely about the state, standing with drinks and limited dancing numbers tend to be the two main restrictions left in place, and we wouldn't care about dealing with those - we wouldn't postpone if that had happened to us. But right now, we can't travel to our venue at all, and so even though many people are choosing to downsize to make their events safer, this wouldn't help us, as if it was safe enough to travel to our venue, we'd be allowed to have the larger numbers of people.

Essentially - consider your own circumstances, what would bother you to miss out on, and make your decision based on those things!

My wedding is September 10, also in a suburb of Chicago. I am thinking it’s possible that mask-wearing may return in time for the wedding, but I’m not sure what other restrictions could take place in that time that would affect our wedding. I’m not particularly worried that we won’t be allowed to have the wedding— the number of people dying and getting seriously ill just doesn’t seem to be pointing in that direction at the moment.


I’m a little more worried about our honeymoon. Our plan is to go to France.

I’m getting married on September 25th and although I’m nervous, we are pushing through with the wedding. We are getting married in Florida so I don’t expect the state to shut down (fingers crossed) but for the guests that are flying in, if they don’t feel safe and no longer wants to attend, I’m ok with that. They need to do what’s right for their health and safety.


Like you though, I’m nervous about the honeymoon, we want to go to St Lucia in December but I haven’t booked anything because of the delta variant

My wedding is October 1st and not happy at all about what is happening with COVID numbers spiking back up.

We've planned our wedding around COVID with a small guest list and an outdoor venue, so right now I don't see us changing anything about the wedding.. we're already asking guests to be vaccinated and/or masked, and just about everyone is vaccinated. There was always going to be some risk involved, so I understand if any guests can't make it. We are still waiting on a lot of RSVPs and I imagine part of it is just people waiting to see what happens. I'm keeping a close eye on things in terms of regulations, but at this point I can't imagine they'll walk back restrictions so much that I need to be concerned about it affecting the wedding. As we work out the final details we'll do the best we can to make the wedding safe for our guests, but the best way for our guests to be safe is to get vaccinated.

I would encourage your guests to get vaccinated, and do whatever sort of safety precautions you can take that work for your wedding (space tables apart and keep the tables and the amount of people at them small, serve food to tables or call people up in small groups if you do a buffet, have someone serving the buffet, encourage people to wear masks, set up hand sanitizing stations or put sanitizer at every table/seat, etc.).

My wedding is September 18th here in Vermont. So nervous about it all honestly. But worse comes to worse we’re going to push through it and do it no matter what. If the Venue closes then we will go to city hall. We picked that day for a reason and it’s going to be our day no matter what❤️
