View Quoted Comment Thank you ! The people are super nice. Blessings to you

Where are you located? Im in texas and I plan on having my wedding 11/21/20. I am sure it will be over by here but idk where you are

Hello I been feeling the same way! My wedding is 10/03/2020 which is also my 50th birthday! I’m in limbo. The waiting it out and not knowing what to do is the worst. I figured by July or Aug at the latest I would know which way to switch gears. I’ve been trying to stay positive.........

View Quoted Comment Thanks so much and that’s what my venue said as well. I’m so sorry you’re in NY I know you guys have it worse than all of us. Praying for you!

Hi! I had/have an August 8th wedding. I just made the decision to push my to next year. My thoughts were: am I ok with a smaller guest list, with a backyard event, with doing a bigger ceremony later.
I couldn't narrow my 250 people guest list down to 50, I didn't want to pay twice for a reception, and I wanted a wedding inside because it can be so hot in August. That's why I pushed it.
If I could've done what you did about picking 30 people and using the vendors on a small scale, then I totally would. However I sent my save the dates in February, so those 250 people already know they are invited and to uninvite would be super awkward for me.I think your smaller event will be great.

View Quoted Comment Stay positive.. and work on a plan B.


Good luck!

I'm a 10.9.2020 bride im.not postponing anything. I just sent out invites and the have to reply by August 15th. If you don't RSVP you will not be be in attendance especially with all that is going on at the moment. My venue is completely outside we have some wiggle room and outside if the county I reside. My residing County still isn't open but they are looking to start back next week gradually. Idc if its 10 or 100 we are keeping this date, even if we have to elope and have a party later with a vow exchange moment.

View Quoted Comment What state are you getting married in? I’m in Michigan and a 10/9 bride. Starting to sweat it a bit. Just got in contact with my venue and hoping they are as relaxed as yours!

View Quoted Comment I’m in Virginia, not northern though as they were hit a little harder than us. Our governor went on really strict with an immediate stay at home order starting in March through June 10 (was the longest one issued at the time) and just NOW this Friday will be easing restrictions. He also will likely be “opening” certain parts of the state before others because VA is very diverse in population and areas affected.

Hello! 10.16.20 here in Los Angeles and we decided to move our wedding to September 2021. We asked ourselves if we felt comfortable having a group of over 100 people being together in one room in October and we both said no. That was how we knew we had to postpone. Also, it depends on if your guests are locals. 80% of our guests are from the East coast so it just seems too soon considering the uncertainty. Your plan b sounds great, as long as you two are both happy. If my Family were local I would’ve kept my date and cut my guest list to under 50 people. Good luck!

View Quoted Comment I live in NY and I’m October 30th 2020 and so far we haven’t really come up with a plan B yet. Honestly from what I see, some states opening too soon are finding themselves in a close to or worse situation as the first wave of outbreaks and so NY has been one of the states to be very slow and strict upon opening. Basically until the middle of June, not an extreme amount will return to work yet because as we see from other states, opening at a slower and stricter pace may be what helps us get through this for the time being. Once July comes, then I see what things are like and what may come October and if so what to do as a plan B. It honestly is gonna be down to each state and no matter what every bride will have something that she has to accept. From possibly not being able to have certain guests come, possibly changing the way cocktail hour food will work, how seating my work, possibly wearing masks and having sanitizing stations available all over which would allow a smaller gathering (50-100) to be in a large enough space and be within protocol. As someone who’s been planning since May 2019 and my wedding date having some significant meaning to it, I’m willing to have to bend and flex to certain rules if I can have my wedding and for some maybe it isn’t everything they planned but I mean in the future there’s the possibility of stories of us brides having our wedding during a world pandemic. Only time can tell!!!

I’d wait a bit. We were originally going to be married on May 21, traveling from Texas to get married in front of Multnomah Falls but we canceled that when things first started. We then planned to get married here, at home (Houston), but then everything shut down and even with Texas opening up most of our guest wouldn’t come. Sooooo we have pushed it back to October 22. To be honest, we had already gotten our marriage license for May 21 so we just had a quick exchange of vows with our parents and officiant. So we’re married but still want to have an actual ceremony, especially since we’ve paid for everything and I still have a killer wedding dress that I want to wear 😉

View Quoted Comment Hi Taire, good for you! I’ve made the call to postpone our date to 2021 as well. We are keeping the date the same and going to elope this year as well. Its a lot of uncertainty and large gatherings are likely to have some restrictions. I thinks its best to err on the side of caution than try to wait it out. Stay positive and safe!

View Quoted Comment I think everyone has to make a judgement call that is best for their situation and their wedding. Im in Ga and my Guests are spread across the entire nation. Yes, the moment is one we want to rejoice for but when having a large gathering especially when you have numerous people that need to fly in, its definitely better to be safe then sorry. The large increase of cases that occurred here in south Ga stemmed from a gathering after a funeral. Though the occasion is one you want to take part in, it can have grave impact on the entire community, thats the reality I have had to face with altering my wedding plans. Every state city are truly on all different pages and being impacted differently, Our normal seems to be a distance memory due to COVID at this point. I hope everyone makes the best decisions for themselves and enjoy the celebration when they feel comfortable to do do. Wishing you the best! Stay healthy and safe!
