Hi All,

I know there are so many post about what is going on but I just need to let it out where someone understands.

We have talked to our venue, they said we are good to go as long as we don't get restricted by the state. My catering company called and they are behind us 100% if we continue or postpone.

Now my in laws have been grilling us all week to postpone the wedding. We are not even sure if we will need to cancel. They are not wanting to pay the monthly payment of the catering company. They were the ones that did not like our dinner choice and wanted to upgrade. They were the ones that wanted a plated dinner and all of these other things. Now that we are weeks away they want to just dump this on us. I am just so frustrated with this situation. I understand that we are ALL going through hard times but contacts don't just get voided.

Sorry for the long post.

Sending everyone positive vibes!

If your catering company is okay with the postponement and your FHs family is paying then you should probably postpone. Not only does money come with strings, but it's a very precarious time right now to be planning an event.

We are getting married May 30, and our venue and caterer said all will go forward as planned, as long as the state of California does not add to the current restrictions, or extend them past our date.
I'm praying that everything is resolved quickly, and they lift the restrictions. I've been planning for almost 2 years, and waiting for this my whole life!!
So, at this point, I'm moving forward with our plans. I will reassess in a couple weeks.
If your vendors are good with going forward, I think you're ok. FILs should just make the payment. Even if you end up having to postpone, you'd still be using this same caterer, right? So, they need to be paid regardless if the wedding is held as scheduled, or if it's postponed. Your FILs should respect your wishes. I hate money that comes with strings! Good luck.

Oh man that is such a hard situation I’m sorry! My wedding is supposed to be May 23, and we are holding out until the last possible moment. Honestly, it would really suck if you cancelled or Rescheduled and then found out you could have kept it and I’m sure that would cause some strain on your relationship with the in-laws too. I would wait it out a little longer and then make the call you and your fiancé want to make💜

Hi Alma! It's definitely a crazy time of stress and uncertainty for everyone! Right now it sounds like most couples are waiting a few more weeks before making any final decisions about their June weddings, but with payments due I know that adds to the urgency of making a decision. If you're counting on the in-laws to make the payment, you may have to take their wishes into consideration.
Make sure to check out our COVID-19 Wedding Support Central where we've started gathering WeddingWire resources, and you can connect with other June brides about their decisions in these discussions:
