10-10-20 Just Postponed to 2021

Fleur, on April 16, 2020 at 10:53 AM Posted in Community Conversations 0 5

Welp we just made the decision, insert ugly crying sad face. To me it came down to “size matters.” We have 300+ guests. There’s no way I’m putting them at risk + who knows if they’ll even show up + deep in my gut I KNOW the restrictions won’t be lifted by the fall. Plus on a selfish note, I’m holding out for the full wedding experience. Showers, Bachelorette Party, etc. All of which are postponed indefinitely for our current date of 10-10-20.

So we rescheduled to Oct. 2, 2021. Fortunately, it seems we’ll "only" lose the Venue deposit of $2k. Yay us. We are cancelling our venue bc they refuse to reschedule until they “have to”. By the time the venue "has to" we will have made another large payment, and God only knows what new date we would be stuck with. Yeah, no. We live in a large city, so there are 2 other places we have tentative holds on for our Oct. 2021 date.

To be 100% honest, I’m worried that Oct. 2021 won’t even happen. But I’ll just keep on keepin' the faith. What crazy times.

    We also just postponed to October 1, 2021. I was feeling a bit relieved after that at least I wouldn’t have to wonder about what ifs. Then, last night, my fiancé mentioned as you did “what if this isn’t over by then” and oh my goodness I will lose my mind if this new date can’t happen. I’m holding on to hope as you are that I can have the wedding I envisioned a year from now.

    Mine Is 10/17 And Im Not Stressing About It Yet. Continuing To Plan As Normal, I Doubt These Strict Restrictions Will Still Be In Place In October. Obviously The Virus Isnt Going Anywhere But The Economy Has To Get Back Up Asap. With That Being Said Im Sorry You Had To Postpone But At Least You Will Have Your Dream Wedding With No Worries. Goodluck Smiley heart

    Hi Fleur,

    I'm so sorry that you had to postpone your wedding nearly a full year. However, I do believe you've made a good decision. I understand you're feeling sad and disappointed. Are you feeling relieved as well?

    Aside from your venue, have your vendors been able to accommodate your new date?

    If you decide you want to celebrate the original wedding date in some way, WeddingWire has posted a fun article for people who can't go on their honeymoons, which I completely understand is different than a wedding (but also disappointing to those couples). You'll find it here: 8 Staycation Ideas If You Can't Go On Your Honeymoon. Maybe you'll find a way to commemorate the original wedding day!

    WeddingWire has created other resources that may be helpful as you navigate the postponement and planning process here: Our COVID-19 Weddings Advice Guide.

    I'm wishing you the best of luck for October 2021! Smiley heart

    Thanks Amy. We are relieved but sad, some moments are better than others. I’m actually tearing up writing this. 😢 It’s a heartbreaking ordeal that is hard to talk about with others, especially when there’s serious suffering happening to some of our friends and family. Anyway, all our other vendors have been super supportive with the new date. We are looking at silver linings, like being able to save up more and focusing on our careers. I’ll definitely check out the data that you shared, thanks for that and for checking in. ❤️

    Glad to hear someone else postponed, we did as well from 9-19-20 to 10-16-21. I don’t foresee large events happening without major restrictions or people feeling 100% comfortable and able to travel. Our venue was not letting us change at first and wanted to wait until they had to, but after some push back with how the contract was worded we were able to get it changed. Best of luck ❤️
