April 2020 wedding. Who is canceling who is keeping the date?

Aww hi date twin! Ours was supposed to be 4/25 also. It was going to be in a beautiful public park with an indoor house for dancing, etc. The city has pretty much shut down so they gave us the option to keep the deposit towards a future date (they aren't taking new reservations at this point), or get a refund. From what I've read re: wedding advice, most are saying to chat with vendors sooner rather than later to be able to come up with a game plan. I know it can be easier said than done as we delayed reaching out to our venue in hopes that things would get better but at this point that's not realistic. I'd still do something sweet with your FH on that day to share together and make it special in its own way. I know it sucks. We are going to have some crazy stories for our kids and grandkids!

We were supposed to be getting married on April 4th and our venue is shut down (it was a community centre). We're in Toronto and essentially everything is shut down. Of our 88 guests, more than half flat out told us they were not going to be attending our April 4th wedding or any wedding this year as they were way too paranoid. Meaning even if we moved our wedding to October or something, they wouldn't attend. My fiance and I have decided to have an intimate wedding/dinner when we are able to (Could be June, July, August, who knows) really depends on when establishments start opening up again. And then MAYBE next year, we'd have the big reception. So many of our guests are very appreciative of our plans and almost relieved even. They felt bad about telling us but then when we told them what we were going to do, they were incredibly thankful. So, that's what we're doing. Intimate ceremony/reception (parents, bridal party) and bigger reception in a year or so.

4/15/2020- rescheduled everything for next year.

Keeping positive thoughts since my guest count was low,(15 out of 50) this gives an opportunity for more planning and more time for guest to take out time for the future since we let guest know 5 months before.

4/18/20 - our church venue cancelled and our reception venue follows CDC guidelines. We are having an intimate ceremony at my grandfather's church with immediate family on 4/18 to continue to get legally married on the same date. Our now - vow renewal and reception is postponed until 8/21/20. If I have to reschedule again due to this virus, I'm handing the vendor/venue numbers and e-mails to someone else and they can handle rescheduling for me. Haha. I've already had family and friends tell me they would. It was such a headache for me to reschedule, so I don't want to go through that stress again.

We were still going to get married in the church with just our parents and siblings 4/17/2020. Then 6 days ago that idea got derailed because the Los Angeles Archdiocese closed all their churches. Now we are getting married in my FH parents house and the officiant will be my dad on the same day just so we can send off our signed marriage license. We will do our sacrament in the church next year on our anniversary (well practically 4/16/21) followed by a reception.

We were scheduled for this Saturday, April 4th. Three weeks ago, we were all set, and our venue gave us the okay. Within just days, though, everything shut down one by one. For starters, we're in Illinois, where the current maximum for public gatherings is 10 people. Then the restaurant where we were going to have our rehearsal dinner was closed down, along with every other restaurant in Illinois. To top that off, we were leaving the day after our wedding for our honeymoon cruise in the Caribbean, but we pulled the plug on that pretty quickly. With more and more things being stacked against us, we realized we had no choice but to postpone. We're heartbroken (I think I am more than FH, though), but we're getting through it. Thankfully, our venue and all of our vendors have been understanding of our decision and are still willing to work with us when we reschedule. Now it's just a matter of the rescheduling itself. We're waiting to see how things play out. We'd been hoping for autumn of this year, but now FH is saying we should look at April 2021. I don't want to have to do that, not only for the sake of waiting so long when we were pretty much done, but also because I never much wanted April to begin with, even though it's my birthday month. We're going to see how this month goes and what news is available. By then, we should be better able to make a decision.
