Summer 2020 Brides/covid 19

I don't have much advice, but it may be comforting for me to say that you are not alone in feeling this stress! Our date is also July 11th, and we are getting married in Arkansas. We are using our church, but we are expecting around 150 people to attend. I have been so stressed about this whole ordeal, but we've have decided to continue as planned and re-assess on May 1st. As long as things are not extending much further then, we are going to continue as planned, order our invitations, and send them out. However, we do have a backup plan in mind, which I would suggest making - just in case. Our back up is to have a small ceremony with just parents and wedding party outdoors at his father's house, which we would both be fine with. We do not have the option to postpone, nor do we want to. Each couple is different, though, so you want to be sure you are happy with whatever Plan B you must have. Hopefully, none of this will be an issue, but I would rather hope for the best and plan for the worst instead of being stuck last minute making changes. As of right now, though, we are going forward with wedding planning as normal for the original wedding we have been planning.

We are July 17th! Waiting till about Mid-May to start making decision whether we need to postpone or not. I went ahead and reached out to my venue just to see what their thoughts were. We live in Florida and are having a yacht wedding with 50 people attending in St. Petersburg. My biggest concern is that 99% of my guests, including immediate family, are flying from either CA, VA, or IN. We will not be having anyone over the age of 56 at the wedding due to my grandparents health already, regardless of COVID-19. But my venue said that we could postpone and pick a date. I told them I didn't want to jump the gun yet, and they said that I can place my name on another date as backup until someone else is interested and then at that point I will have to make the hard decision and stick with my original date or move to the new date. Our backup date is November 1st, 2020, not my fav, considering everything that I have bought and done with this wedding has our original date of July 17th. It would cost hundreds of dollars to replace everything with a new date! Praying hard and trying to stay positive and keeping the faith!
