10/10/2020 Brides

Abi, on March 25, 2020 at 10:53 AM Posted in Community Conversations 1 16

First of, let me preface this with saying, I am hurting. I am hurting for all you spring brides that have had to cancel, postpone, completely change everything about your wedding you've worked so hard for. I am so sorry! I know it's a tough time for anyone getting married this year, but especially for spring brides. Understand I am sensitive to that. That being said anyone getting married in October already making plans to reschedule or postpone? I know we all are pretty much making a plan B, but is there anyone just already using the plan B? I am just getting worried because I am being told so many different things. I have put a lot of money, tears, and stress into planning this wedding and I just want to be careful. Not really sure how to handle all of this. ( Yes I know to give it time, I know that things could change, yes I am thankful I am not a spring bride) but I would like some help from other brides! I would love to really just hear from people getting married in October, please!

    I am getting married the beginning of November, and I do not even have a Plan B. What is going on right now is so unpredictable – it could go on for years, or it could vanish as quickly as it popped up. I have decided I don’t want to waste time, energy, frustrations, stress, etc. formulating a Plan B this early. One of the main keys to staying healthy is getting lots of rest and lowering stress levels, so I have decided to heed that advice and not stress about the wedding. What will happen will happen. And if things are still crazy in the months leading up to the wedding, we will deal with them then. There’s just no reason to drive myself crazy and try to plan an entirely new wedding this early on, and when things are already this stressful.

    Are you still doing any wedding planning? Or holding off? The main reason I have to come up with a plan B is because vendors are asking for it. I could loose money if at last minute I had to change dates and they didn't have a heads up.

    I'm getting married on 10/10/20. My wedding is fully planned we're just making payments now. I'm not postponing anything and I don't plan to until at least August. If corona is still prominent then, then I'll start to worry. It's too soon to stop anything right now. You'll worry yourself sick overthinking things this soon.

    Im Still Planning As Normal. I Dont Expect To Have Any Issues But If You're Worried Definitely Have A Backup Plan And Maybe Look Into Wedding Insurance? Try Not To Stress Yourself Out Yet Smiley heart

    Also Maybe Talk To Your Venue And Vendors And Ask About A Backup Plan In Case The Virus DOES Tend To Stick Around And Continue To Make Things Harder For Everyone.

    Date Twins! I am in the same boat. I was worried about whether or not to send our Save the Date in this sensitive time. After considerations, I sent it on Monday anyway. Our plan B is to still get married without all the guests. We already put in deposits for all the vendors, so if we cancel it, we will lose everything. Plus, 10/10 is such a special day.

    Wow, your vendors are asking for a Plan B already?! My vendors haven’t requested anything of their couples this far out. They are just postponing March, April & May at this point. We pretty much have our entire wedding done and planned. Just finishing paying off vendors at this point; which I am holding off on doing since final payments aren’t due until 30 days out.

    I seriously hope you dont have to postpone not only because its freaking stressful to have so many things up in the air. But also because most of us spring brides are postponing until the fall. I wouldn’t wish this on anyone and i most definitely Dont want to go through this Twice!
    With that being said. Its way too soon to postpone anything. This changed drastically for the worst in just 1week! I literally just announced to the family we were not canceling the wedding and we understand for those who cant make it due to covid19 concerns. And 1 week later announcing that we are canceling. Wait until August or beginning of September to figure out what’s going on and how it will affect ur wedding.

    Its really hard to think of a plan B because sure i can have a plan but how do u know what kind of regulations there will be on social gatherings IFF and only if we are dealing with this same situation (no gatherings allowed/10ppl or less and city/county/state shelter in place) in October.

    My wedding is in September, we have no plans to postpone. Our coordinator, whom I have not cared for, has actually been awesome to work with. She sends me an email every week letting me know that their corporate is planning as of right now to re-open venues at the end of May. I have no plan B because I don't see the point of making a plan B right now. I don't need the added stress of figuring that out. This situation is strange, weird and confusing. My wedding is basically completely planned. I have spoken to my photographer, caterer, DJ and officiant no one has even suggested a Plan B. Planning is a bit harder right now with so many places closed down. The only thing I did was add a section to my website stating due to these uncertain times, both my FH and I understand if some aren't able to make it due to the financial burden this is putting on folks. I worded it better but that's the general gist of what I said.

    I’m getting married October and it’s all business at usual. We are still planning and even after talking with a few vendors it’s too soon to know anything. We won’t start thinking about postponing or plan b until August at least. There is nothing to do this far out. It seems a waste to postpone now and have it all be okay by October. I’d save the stress for later too it might all go away and have nothing to stress about as far as plan b and postponing.

    We are getting married 10.10.2020, too! As of right now, we don’t have any plans to postpone and we aren’t planning a ‘Plan B’. We are moving forward as planned. But did contact our venue and asked some questions.


    We will see how things progress into the late spring and early summer.
    Really feeling the heartbreak for all the couples who had to reschedule or cancel. All your hard work wasn’t for nothing. You will overcome this! ❤️

    The reason some of them are asking is because their fall dates are filling up fast because of the spring brides have to reschedule. So, they are asking if I want a different date just in case I would need to let them know soon.

    Thank you ladies! Like I mentioned in my original post I know to give it time, obviously. Lots of vendors are having their fall/ early winter dates fill up fast due to the spring brides have to reschedule. Some of mine have reached out to let me know if I do end up having to have a plan B later this year I may want to figure it out in the next couple of weeks because of dates filling up fast, if I want to get married this year on a weekend. That is all just wanting to see what other October brides were doing.

    10.10 as well and I am continuing my planning and still looking forward to the wedding! We have a ROUGH Plan B, but I dont plan to go any further with even thinking about it unless its August and the virus is still rampant. Our wedding is like 80% planned anyhow!

    10/10 is my wedding days as well. No plans to cancel, but my Plan B was to simply have a 10 person wedding. I’m ready to marry my FH and I our date is unique, so I’m not letting the lack of a party stop me.



    Luckily, I’ve planned a backyard wedding and only have to deal with 3 vendors who are both really sweet and I would think wouldn’t have a problem changing to a later date if they were available.
    With that said, I did order my STD this week
