August Brides

Carina, on March 21, 2020 at 5:53 PM Posted in Community Conversations 0 20
So I’m truly hoping by August all this craziness has passed. That being said, any August brides out there in the slightest bit anxious about how all this impacts your big day? I’ll get courthouse married on that day if need be, but the thought of trying to get all the vendors booked again on the same day is horrifying 😬😵 Honeymoon is in Sandals Royal Barbados, hopefully travel is better by then too. Positive vibes for all my brides!

    If this doesn't calm down by August, I would be surprised and eloping. It's probably going to be ok - we moved our April wedding to August.

    Good to know! It’s such a crazy time. No one thinks to plan for this! My shower and bachelorette most likely need to be cancelled which is a bummer! But as long as I can have the wedding and honeymoon nothing else really matters I guess!

    Yep! It's been a crazy period to be sure. Honestly, at this point we would settle for marrying with our parents present. My best advice is don't get caught up in the nuances of wedding planning or any of the "etiquettw" - just let it go and be glad you're getting married.

    Thank you! So true. Either way, no matter what happens I’ll be married on August 8. Is August your original date or did you have to unfortunately reschedule?

    We had to reschedule! We were originally 4/4. Thankfully we decided to just face the music well before the others started to reschedule. Right now I'm just ready to be married - we were so close! Ugh it hurts to think about it.

    I can’t even imagine how you’re feeling! August is a great month too. This is so surreal. You’ve got a great attitude about it. POSITIVITY SENT YOUR WAY!

    Not nervous why stress about something you can’t control? If anything we will still get married with a private ceremony and move our wedding. It’s 5 months away a lot can happen in that time.

    Yeah we are slightly nervous as far as the stress of moving dates with our current vendors. But we are trying to stay clam because worse case scenario we just reschedule to next spring ❤️I think I’d be most sad about losing our current date too!! It’s 8/8/20 how cute and easy to remember.

    Date twin!


    My wedding is set for 8/8/20 also!
    As of now my most desperate backup plan is to get married with close family on the day of my planned wedding (civil wedding). And move the bigger celebration to a later date if need be.
    But right now, I have no intention of cancelling or postponing. I actually just had my first planning meeting with my venue yesterday.
    Hopefully this all pans out by then or at least I hope we can come out with effective treatments for this 🥺

    Looking at China they cleared up the largest portion in a few months so I think we’ll be fine! 🥰but like you we’ve got a backup plan if need be. We are going to let a reschedule make us upset.

    That’s a good idea! We may consider doing so 😍I’ve seen a few people say they may do that.

    We moved to August but have a backup plan! I feel good about it. Having the backup plan now would allow you to adjust to it. I know it's worked that way for me. 8/7 ... my birthday is 8/8 - so I start my first full day of marriage on my birthday. It just was the only date that worked. It hits right before kids go back to school. So, to all marrying on my bday - I feel good about it! I hope that you do too!!! Smiley heart

    Date twin! That’s so fun. I’m truly hoping things will be cleared up by then. I hate to think selfishly during this time, but I have to admit my wedding is pretty up there with things on my mind!

    I know you’re pain Smiley sad we were April 19th and just moved to August 23rd. It’s been the longest 16 months for us already, I hate the idea of waiting five more, and I don’t know what I’ll do if we have to change AGAIN. Praying this resolves long before then.
