August Bride- Riding it out...

View Quoted Comment

I don't think they will do that. There may still be some slight restrictions but you have June and July to go. I am pretty certain if cases fall and we get less than 1 to 1 we are going to be in a better place than today.

View Quoted Comment It actually does say no dance floors for now, but I agree with you. As the summer goes on I think more restrictions will be lifted!

It will they have to start slow, we have made a ton of progress. It will all work out.

View Quoted Comment Yes ❤️ I am very grateful for even being allowed to do it

View Quoted Comment Curious if there any restrictions regarding you and your guests being required to wear masks?

View Quoted Comment No my venue is not requiring masks.

View Quoted Comment My wedding was supposed to be 10/10/2020 because I ALSO HATE ODD NUMBERS but my fiancé and I decided to postpone until August 6, 2021 😞 our wedding is being held in Chicago and they’re still under strict stay at home orders so I didn’t see it getting any better by then. I’m so upset.

View Quoted Comment I think that is up to the venue. I have not heard from them yet

8-7-2020 🤷🏾‍♀️ Money is spent what else can we do

Hi! I fully understand wanting to wait it out. We were scheduled to get married on 8/8, but we finally made the decision this week to postpone the big wedding until next 8/7/2021. We decided we are going to still get married on our original date (8/8/2020) with just a couple of friends, and then have the big wedding next year with all of our family and friends (on our almost 1 year anniversary). We live in Maryland and had guests coming in from all over the World. When most of my family started to back out and our vendors suggested we postpone until next year, we knew it was time to reschedule. I definitely cried about it, but it was the right thing for us to do at this point. I am sorry everyone is going through this. Good luck to everyone!

View Quoted Comment I’m same date in NY... most likely moving it

View Quoted Comment It sounds like that worked best for you and your situation! Good luck ❤️

If the NFL is stating they will have full stadiums come August/September, then we can have weddings damnit!

View Quoted Comment Ashley, I’m so sorry and totally understand! I had my heart set for a June 2020 wedding but had to move it to August 14, 2020. I live in PA. It wasn’t the date we chose, but my aunt said it was the date God chose for us. I think you made the right choice. We are going to make August the best month for weddings!! ❤️

View Quoted Comment Totally understand, I’m typically a chill person but I freak out daily. I hate this feeling!

View Quoted Comment We are August 14th too! Our original date was May 9th. We are not able to wait til next year for a few reasons. We are getting married in Wisconsin which is open and we hope not to have severe restrictions. Currently our venue has several additional safety measures in place which we are happy about. Now I am scrambling to plan the things I didn’t have done yet and it’s stressful! Just started the process of ordering invitations because we were waiting to see if things were going to be okay. We’re praying all goes well and it’s still safe for August but it is hard because I do get nervous that things could change again and that would be heartbreaking. Lots of our guests plan to come and think it will be okay. It’s reassuring. Here’s to two beautiful August 14th weddings! ❤️

Well of course..they want money. But they did say that was best case scenario, realistic? Probably not. Anyway, I'm happy for all August brides in states that are opening up. Maryland will not be in a position to be able to have weddings in large scales by August..so I'm just waiting to postpone.

View Quoted Comment I freak out daily too. I think my fiancée is tired of my freak outs. I’m hoping by august Ohio will be less restrictions wise. We can have 125 at our wedding now (was planning on 200) but no dancing. I’m hoping this will change. With Ohio’s numbers decreasing I can see me having the dream wedding. I’m hopeful but still a crazy mess.

View Quoted Comment Amen to that! If we cancel now, we lose $5000......🤷‍♀️ so on we march.

View Quoted Comment I’m in September and I feel the same way. I’m torn. Allowing more guests is great but will they have to wear masks and social distance? My guests are all out of state so I do have a backup date but who knows if this will continue next year. I have everything booked and sucks to have to wait. I may just do a small ceremony.
