2021 Brides - How are we feeling?!

It's finally 2021 - and I personally am so excited because it's finally our wedding year! I have been with my fiancé, Rob, for 9 1/2 years (this year makes 10 years) and to say I have been waiting a long time for this is an understatement! We're getting married October 8 - and with the pandemic...

It's finally 2021 - and I personally am so excited because it's finally our wedding year! I have been with my fiancé, Rob, for 9 1/2 years (this year makes 10 years) and to say I have been waiting a long time for this is an understatement!

We're getting married October 8 - and with the pandemic happening I know this year is still very much up in the air on events, so let's talk! Any of you postponing? Any of you postponing again after postponing from 2020? How many of you are able to still keep your wedding plans as is?

    Don't be nervous! One, it's going to be such a beautiful and amazing day for you and your partner. Two, I am sure your family want to see you happy and get married just as much! Third, as long as you guys do everything to take precaution I am sure you guys will all be safe. I hope you start feeling more excited!

    I feel that for all of us brides the biggest challenge for us was whether or not we were being selfish to ask people to still either attend or to cancel on everyone. It definitely is not easy with everything that is going on but I truly believe things happen the way they should so maybe in a year when you can have the big wedding that you both previously had planned and it will be MAGNIFICENT!! Best of luck to you both with this year, and I hope with your micro wedding you are still happy and have the best day ever!

    I am so sorry to hear your mom is sick currently, I will keep your family in my thoughts for her to have a safe a speedy recovery. I say go with your gut at this point, you can always do some big party next year with everyone! It is such a hard time for everyone and especially those who are either affected themselves or their family is.

    THIS gave me goosebumps!! I love your micro wedding plans - I wanted to do something like this at first but compromising with the future husband we went with the more traditional route. I know your micro wedding is going to be so gorgeous!

    Yes, it was NOT an easy decision. Even now I’m still going back and forth, but will keep the decision. I hope the same for you as well and everyone. Whatever we all choose it WILL be a special day Smiley smile and thank you so very much for those kind words it was so needed

    That's what I love about this site, we are all here to listen and are able to relate to one another. It's so nice to have all these brides to just be there for each other!

    Originally planned for a destination wedding in Italy in June 2020. Postponed until May 2021. Now, we are discussing with our wedding planner pushing to 2022. It seems so unlikely that a destination wedding would be possible this spring.


    The good news is that we still officially got married on our original date in June 2020. It was a very small, backyard ceremony, and our families joined via video conference.

    We’ve been together 9 years this year, so I totally know what your feeling. We postponed from September 2020 to June 2021. We were super hopeful things would be better by June and there is still time. We have decided we are going through with our wedding and won’t postpone again. I am hoping that we won’t have to cut our guest list tremendously. We will see if our governor opens up the restrictions.

    Yay! It's finally our wedding year! Congratulations Smiley smile

    So I'm getting married October 16th and we're going on as normal. I'm actually a wedding videographer and in my state, right now, it is up to the counties on how to handle events. I actually got to film all of my weddings as normal except one that postponed to this year, so I'm not too worried.

    I'm really hoping that the vaccine is widely available before and that everyone feels safe. We're only looking at around 80-90 guests and it will be outside with a reception that's in a pavilion where it will be open as well.

    Hey! We are on the same page and have our wedding scheduled for 6/5/21 as well. We also don’t want to postpone and are expecting about 100 guests for our wedding in Florida.

    Wedding twins! We are expecting to have about 100 guest as well, but our wedding will be in Georgia. Our venue has it set up to be indoor or outdoors (it was a requirement for us, because we are not postponing a wedding for weather either!), so if we need to, we can have the wedding completely outdoors.

    Where I'm at as well is based per county and how to handle events! I'm very lucky that we will be able to have our wedding as planned right now. We have 70 guests currently but might move it up to 80 depending on the pandemic!
