What happens if bride or groom gets covid?

When hiring ALL of my vendors I was sure to ask this question before booking. So I’m good to go with rescheduling or a refund. Also, my vendors who will be remaining at the venue (DJ, Coordinator, Photographer, etc. must submit a covid test OR must wear a mask at all times).

Honestly haven’t even thought about this. We’ve been really cautions with still wearing our mask if we’re in the grocery store and at work. We also get tested biweekly. Neither of us, thankfully have gotten COVID since the pandemic. *knocks on wood* and we really hope it stays that way.

We were really really cautious the weeks leading up to the wedding. We didn’t want to get sick with any virus, especially Covid.

Stay away from others, wear a mask, and don't test. 🤷‍♀️

Why would you not test? This is how people continue to spread Covid.

I put people in isolation for work. No one is sick forever, however, you can reduce your risk through many ways. The bride and groom could help themselves stay on schedule by laying low and reducing their exposure to others in the 2 weeks preceding. Even though isolation is less than 2 weeks (depending on your country), guests will stay away if they hear even 1 person has it. You can also ask your guests and vendors to monitor themselves for symptoms, and test the morning of the wedding. It is even more cautious to test twice, 48 hrs before, and the morning of the event. Testing before large gatherings is not a new concept. I would not trust any guest who would not agree with your requests for Covid safety.

You can find posts how other couples handled it. There are a few couples who got Covid on WW and postponed or cancelled. Some report wedding party members and flower girls who missed the wedding as well.

My fiance and I are planning on isolating ourselves from people as much as possible in the two weeks before our wedding, and then testing ourselves a couple times in the days leading up to the wedding. We don't really have a backup plan for if either of us gets COVID right before our wedding day, but if it happened, we'd either postpone or cancel.

We are planning on just laying low the two weeks before the wedding and masking up more than we already do. I wear a mask at work but my fiancé works from home and rarely wears a mask when out in public. He will the two weeks before our wedding just to play it safe. 🤞🏻🤞🏻

Or you could be this bride 😂

My friends had covid before their weddings like maybe a couple weeks before and were lucky enough that they were negative by the time they were having a wedding. but like PPs have mentioned you definitely need to make sure you understand what all the vendor and venue rescheduling terms are.

some of the PPs have good ideas as well for trying to minimize risk - lay low for the 2 weeks before your wedding

We're going to basically isolate / wear masks everywhere we go for three weeks before the wedding. No indoor dining, gym, etc.

Burn sage and light candles in vigil to ward off any bad vibes (kidding... mostly).

I think I'm going to try to work from home the two weeks prior, not go anyplace too crowded, and mask up if I do leave the house. We both had covid before, got all the vaccines and boosters, and postponed the wedding by a year, so at this point it's just down to hoping and praying.

My mom and I tested positive two days before what would have been my wedding date in April. It was one of the worst days ever. We just kept asking people what they thought we should do because I was over my symptoms at that point, I just tested because she tested positive and I had been sick before her.


In the end it came down to our caterer (who also was in charge of my coordinator, rentals, staff and bartender) saying that they couldn’t afford to put their staff in front of us and they could either postpone or drop off food, so we chose to postpone. Luckily, between all of our family’s conflicting schedules we found one date in June that was available for everyone and all our vendors, and all our vendors were so kind and accommodating and helpfully agreed to reschedule without issue. Thankfully we had a small guest list and contacted most people ourselves and had the wedding party spread the word too and get RSVPs. We lost a couple guests and gained a couple guests who couldn’t come to our original date. In the end it all worked out!
