April 2021

I’m so sorry to hear about your dad! I can only imagine going through that especially during a pandemic. I do think with the amount of people on your guest list, you definitely will be able to host your wedding in April! Everyone may not come and a few details may have to change but I do think it will be possible!

I'm sorry about your dad. I lost mine 2 months ago.

We are getting married May 29, 2021. This is postponed from May 30, 2020, our original date. I thought pushing it out a year would be no problem. But the way things have turned out, I'm starting to worry that I won't get to have my dream wedding on the new date. Just not sure. At least your count is fairly small, though. Depending on where you live, you should be able to have 50 people almost anywhere. I'm at 100 right now, and looking at my list wondering who I might have to cut, if our venue says we can't have 100 next May.

All we can do now is wait and see. When we postponed, we were only 60 days out, so I had almost everything done. Now I just have to wait a few more months before I can finish the planning process. I hope it works out for you!!

Sorry about your loss and I hope you can have an amazing day whatever you decide

I'm so sorry about your dad.... That loss alone has to be devastating. Maybe it would help to just put wedding planning aside (and the worries that go with it) for a bit and give yourself time to grieve your dad with your loved ones.

Kelsey, I think you just need to take time to greive. I agree with MOB. I'm so sorry to hear about your Dad. You have my sincerest condolences. You are in my prayers. I do understand about wanting to move ahead and be married. We've been trying to get married since 2018 (we don't want a courthouse wedding, either) and are now eloping. We aren't going to try to have the huge 'dream' wedding anymore ( over 200 guests), but we are going to have an elopement with all the bells and whistles. I wish you the best and know that when you do marry, it'll be perfect!! And the people who truly love you will not judge, but be thrilled. Seriously. Our date is April 9th.

I'm so sorry about your dad. This is the first time I've mentioned this on this forum but my grandma went to be with the Lord almost a month ago (not covid), and it has caused me tremendous hurt including thinking about the wedding and how she won't be physically present.

I am also an April bride, postponed from October. At this point, my biggest concern is the restrictions...I don't want my guests to be forced to wear masks, and there are travel restrictions from the state I live in to where I'm getting married. Other than that, at this point, I am not worried. Our guests are adults who can choose for themselves what they feel comfortable with (and our guest list is 150!).

Will some people judge me or you for moving forward? Probably. Over the past six months I have seen people lay down judgment for just about everything. We have to do what we think is right and keep a stiff upper lip to the people who cause trouble.
