April Brides

Hi Krystal. My wedding was April 11, and we decided last night to postpone. We already had some cancellations, and I was worried that older family members couldn't attend and those traveling wouldn't be able to make it. To be honest, it feels great to have made a decision rather than wondering what we are going to do. It's a difficult decision, good luck!!!

I would postpone. It's been advised to cancel any events of more than ten people for the next eight weeks. As inconvenient as it is, the health of your friends and family members is more important than your wedding.

April 18th bride here! I do not plan on postponing unless my venue cancels! I am ready to begin our marriage at this point, we’ve been together 6 years and already live together! We’ve had no guests reach out and cancel on us so far! We are just hoping things get better!

I'm an April 4th bride and I just postponed yesterday to next year. All of my guests were from out of town and as more restrictions kept getting placed I had more people drop. I didn't want to risk cutting it too close and losing all my money so decided to do it now before next year booked up too fast.

My wedding was may 30, 2020 and we cancelled yesterday due to trumps speech about things not getting better till July/August. We didn’t pick another date yet for our wedding, but we are thinking sometime next year because this pandemic could last longer than expected. July/August is the best case scenario if everyone’s contributes to social distancing in the nation. So I would recommend canceling and not picking another date just yet. We are all being inconvenienced: businesses, weddings, everything. But we have to be inconvenienced if we want our nation to get better by social distancing.

My wedding is supposed to be April 25th. I am so attached to the date as it was my father's birthday and he passed when I was 8. We have been engaged 3.5 years and together for 9.5 (since we were teens). We are dead set we are getting married that day, even if its in our living room with our parents. I was hoping to just reschedule the big wedding to another date. I haven't canceled anything yet because the only real vendor we have is the venue. Last night there was a big blow up with the venue and a bride getting married 3 weeks before us. They are refusing to refund and are booked through this year and most of next so they are not rescheduling either. At this point, I am holding off any kind of major decisions to see what happens with the venue. They posted last night that they are still letting people have their weddings as long as they take the guest list down to 50 people, or do the reception in "shifts" of people, and therefore are not obligated to do any kind of refund. I am hoping that after some time they change their minds. Or that the governor keeps lowering the number so they have no choice but to refund us. I am heartbroken, and worried, and absolutely crushed like I am sure the rest of you are. I'm so sorry.

View Quoted Comment I am in the same position!! No cancellations from vendor or guests so far. I am ready to be married and have our wedding as planned!

I'm not an April bride. March bride 3/21/20 we've decided to go through with it

I should add that the vendor wont make the final call until 4/1/2020. A little too close for comfort

I'm so sorry, but if your date is April 4th, I don't see any way you can
avoid postponing...Current guidelines are no gatherings of greater than
10 people for the next 8 weeks. Can you contact your vendors and get a
new date booked? I'm so sorry you have to deal with this

I'm April 5, and I'm not postponing. The date is meaningful to me, we're both ready to be married. We've had guests cancel, and I fully support their need to take care of their health. However, we also don't know what life will look like in 3 weeks. (Think, 3 weeks ago you probably had no doubts or questions of whether to postpone). Praying that this virus is overcome quickly!
