2021 concerns

My wedding is next year in August and honestly my emotions are all over the place. I'm excited about the wedding but I have so much fear about my wedding with covid.

My wedding is I March of next year & I worry about covid not going away every single day

I just don’t think the “norm” would come back. There’s no way the wedding industry would be set back another year. It hurts our economy and more people will be angry (lol).


Don’t stress for now - the blessing of it as least by the time it’s our Fall 2021 wedding, more health and safety guidelines are streamlined and adaptable to our guests.
But I feel ya! Such a rollercoaster

View Quoted Comment Oh yeah, I defintely agree that the weddings we once knew are kind of gone for awhile. But like you said, we should have more stuff figured out bu then that we will all kind of being accustomed to the “new norm”. Thanks for the positive words!

View Quoted Comment I have a feeling it is not really going to go away anytime soon. But I try to have faith we will have more improvements in the science field

View Quoted Comment Yes same! Very mixed emotions

We've opted not to postpone, but I do feel for you. You made a hard decision and it still has so many unknowns. If you've seen any of the weddings that have been successful through Covid, even with the new "normal" they are still absolutely beautiful. I think you have to embrace the current what is and plan that there is a good chance that face masks may be our new norm for awhile. I hate it, and I know it's mandated both in/outdoors at our wedding location.

Things will get better. I hate to say this and don't hate me for saying this:

You made the hard decision to postpone, DON'T LOOK BACK! Be confident in your decision, because I understand, it took a lot to make that decision. But now you have to live with it and NOT LOOK BACK and think about what if's. Don't worry about what or how Covid will be, you have no control over it. But, a year from now even less, we'll have a better way to manage it and especially celebrations and weddings. So for now, focus on the new date and take a minute to relax and enjoy your engagement.

I promise, it will get better and you'll have the wedding that you want!

Yes, I am also worried about how things will look next year. Which is why we've chosen to cancel our wedding as planned instead of postponing. We're going to have a minimony on our original date, and plan something more intimate once it's safe to do so. Wedding planning during all of this has taken so much out of me, postponing broke my heart and I just couldn't fathom having to go through that again.

Ugh, yes. I’m getting married in NY next year at end of July. We postponed this past week from 9/6. I am very much hoping that things will be much better a year from now. Get it it together, USA!!

View Quoted Comment I sure hope so. I’m glad NY is doing better then other states. I really am praying we have a better handle on this next year that our weddings can be Atleast alittle bit more of what I have always envisioned. I don’t know how I would handle going through this again a year from now. We’re all in this together though

View Quoted Comment First, I just wanted to say that I am sorry that you have also been effected by this, my heart really goes out to you. And second thank you for this, I just needed to hear words like this. My fiancé always reminds me that it’s out of my control. I just pray for the best every single day.

View Quoted Comment Oh gosh i cannot go through all that stress again. I’m also displeased that per my new contract with our venue, they want more $$ from us in a few months. It’s a lot and non-refundable. But, if we have to go through this all again next year we’ll either go through with it or cut our losses

View Quoted Comment That is so unfair that your venue is doing that to you guys me and my fiancé agreed that we will be going through with it next year nomatter what the new normal is at that time and I will accept whatever it is. There is no way I will be postponing again and the only way it won’t be at the venue is if the venue is closed.

View Quoted Comment Yes, it is out of our control. My fiancé has called 2020 a $h@t show but says if we can pull off getting married than all of it was worth it.
Those words have helped me get through and I can’t control Mother Nature, so how can I control Covid?
At the end of the day, I just want to marry the man I’m in love with and I do t care if there are 200 or none (we’ve only invited 50) - but you get my drift. Casey, it will all work out!

View Quoted Comment Yes, I understand. Me and my fiancé were going back and forth for days on what would be best. Thank you though I appreciate it! I hope you have an amazing wedding day!

I’m an October 2021 bride too 💕 And at the moment it’s a small concern in the back of my mind, but I’m still moving forward on planning and trying not to worry too much about it. I feel like 14 months is pretty far out and am hoping there will be a vaccine out by then or we at least have a better handle on it.

View Quoted Comment Wedding month twins ❤️ I agree, I know it’s pretty far out so that is defintely a big plus and I do believe we will have a better handle on this situation. I look up vaccine improvements daily lol

I completely understand. We were originally scheduled for August 2021 and then changed the date to August 2022. It's hard to be optimistic when we're going backwards here in CA. But in NY things are getting better, so try not to focus on those of us who are in states that are crashing and burning lol. Trust that you made the right decision with the information you have for your area.

My wedding is October 2021, and I’m not too worried. We have an alternative plan for if these restrictions are still in place. We also know what will happen with each vendor if we have to postpone and what our options are. We have discussed the fact that we will get married on our day even if it’s just us with no guests. I think having solid backup plans has helped ease my mind. We will be okay regardless of what happens!

Feeling your pain as a fellow ny bride who pushed mine from October 2020 to october 2021. Im worried about the same thing. Just gotta keep faith that God's working it out
