Should i be concerned about my August wedding?

Alison, on March 20, 2020 at 12:48 PM Posted in Community Conversations 0 4
I’ve been on the fence about rescheduling since I found out my workplace was being forced to close. I’m left with no source of income at the moment which means all of my planning has been put on pause. We’re having an out of state wedding and a lot of my vendors have already contacted me wondering if we plan on rescheduling or cancelling and I’m not sure what to do at this point. Does anyone have any advice? Any other August wedding couples having the same dilemma?

    You’re 5 months out which still still a good amount of time. I would see how the whole virus situation in mid May to see if you need to reschedule.

    I would wait until June to decide what you want to you. I really think you will be ok for August. I understand the money woes, my job is closed until further notice and my wedding is supposed to be May 23. I truly think you’ll be fine for August though. Best of luck to you!

    I wouldn't change anything just yet, but it's probably a good idea to get a sense of how flexible your vendors are willing to be/what would be involved in postponing if you end up needing to, and whether doing so would cause you to lose any of the money you've already put down, especially if they're already reaching out to you.
    My wedding is also in August and as of right now we're expecting/hoping that everything will be fine.
    In a week or two, most parts of the country should have done an appropriate number of tests. We still might not know how long the chaos and restrictions will last, but we'll have a better idea of how much the virus has spread, which should make things a little bit clearer in regards to what the summer might be like, and if it will be safe for all of us to get married near other people.
