Another one bites the dust - no 7/25 Wedding

Candice, on June 12, 2020 at 11:12 PM Posted in Community Conversations 0 7
Greetings Ladies,
We are canceling our 7/25 wedding after having already sent out invites. It’s all just been too stressful and the COVID #’s are rising rapidly here in Houston. It just wouldn’t even be any fun. We have moved with the venue to 5/15/21 but at this point who knows if that will even happen. The virus 🦠 and stress fallout from that have been significant. Anyone else in the same boat? Feeling pretty discouraged right now.
Thanks.

    I’m glad you were able to find a new date and I hope you still do something on your original date

    I think everything will be fine in 2021. My state has been pretty heavily hit and regardless of the numbers they are still opening up. I think everyone is coming to the conclusion that we just have to live our lives and pray for the best. If we stay inside forever will miss out on these great opportunities

    I literally just posted about our canceled 10/10/20 wedding. We pushed it a year to 10/2/21. Although life might not be “perfect” at that time, I think it will be more manageable and more comfortable by then. We’re having a destination wedding weekend in Las Vegas. So that, among other factors, aided in our decision.

    Candice, I’m so sorry, but I think you made a smart decision. As a rescheduled bride myself, I understand. We were to marry June 27th and luckily we moved it to August (this year) because shortly after our decision, the church called us to let us know they would not be able to have June weddings anyway. I was so sad at first but now grateful we moved it. I pray a vaccine will be in place ASAP and this virus will be in the past long before your date. May is a beautiful month to marry!!

    Candice, I definitely relate and understand how you feel. I was posting in a June 13, 2020 thread for a few weeks while we were all trying to figure out what to do. My last message was about postponing, and since then we’ve actually made the decision to cancel our reception entirely. It was starting to feel much harder than necessary for us to keep “kicking the can” on a big event with so much uncertainty. We discussed the way we were feeling about it, and we agreed 100% that it was hanging over everything and didn’t make sense to keep on that path.


    We’re now pushing our city hall ceremony with family, MOH, and BM out to September and will instead put a little more into a private lunch and small celebration with them. Can’t say we haven’t been sad about the cancelled plans we‘d made, and today would have been our reception with everyone, but we feel better than we have in weeks about everything. Yesterday we laughed about how we were going to have a grazing table... can you imagine anyone having a grazing table ever again, really, post COVID-19 😂
    Anyway, hope our situation gives you some comfort and maybe some ideas on your own path. Hang in there.

    Definitely do something on your original date! Whether you get married or just celebrate, it helps a lot otherwise itll just make you depressed watching the day come and go. Its a little jarring when you first postpone since youve been planning it one way for so long but just remember that you moved it far enough out that everything should be much better by then

    Hi Candace,

    I'm so sorry you are having to postpone. Truly, I think this a great decision! But, have you considering having a small ceremony now with a larger reception next May?

    I'm excited to hear what you decide.

    Sending lots of love your way!

    Smiley heart
