My fiance and I were supposed to get married May 26th, 2020 in Jamaica. We made the decision to cancel a few weeks back and since then resort has shut down operations past our wedding date. With the destination wedding and all the extra planning that's entailed, we figured we had it in the works for a year and a half and postponing just wasn't going to be an option.
We have decided to start from scratch in New England, but are looking to keep it as a beach wedding. We have decor and so many elements for my vision already purchased, etc. Obviously weather in NE really only allows a true beach wedding to take place in certain months so we we're originally thinking August. Now we're not sure if we're crazy to try to restart for a date so soon! Unfortunately, for a few different options we do not have any available dates September or even October, so if we push the August idea back, were talking November as our next date possibilities. November obviously changes some of the beach wedding ideas I have had visioned for so long - warm weather, beach ceremony, summer sunsets, etc. We have a venue in mind which is on the beach and allows for all elements to be indoors and is my style, but I am still struggling.
We feel like our family and friends are pushing in one way vs another based on their preferences of dates, etc. My mom was completely on board with a summer wedding but then completely changed position and is now adamantly against it.
Please don't say wait a year, this is not something we are looking to do. We have been together for 9 years, technically already married in 2019 but been planning this for a year and a half, and are looking forward to moving on to next stages in our lives next year.
I know a couple people who are pushing to July or August so just trying to get peoples thoughts on this!
Thanks in advance for your positive recommendations and insights! I feel for everyone else in a similar situation!
