August Weddings

I Think Everything Will Be Fine By Then But Have A Back Up Plan Just In Case. Theres No Telling With This Kind Of Thing.

Our weddings the same day. I’m stressing over it so much. I even have to work in retail I’m a cashier I work the front lines. I see the panic hit doesn’t help. My venue said ones this month they postponed them. They didn’t cancel any of them.


Keep praying this is over soon and I don’t get sick since you can’t tell if these people are sick or not. 😖😖

For an August wedding, I would continue as normal for now. Your date is a while away and a lot can change before then.

I am also August 8th. We are making no changes at this time- it's way too far away.

Our wedding day is August 7th, at first I was worried, and I still am.

However, we have 5 months for things to settle down. I contacted all vendors to make sure I can postpone and they all sounded confident that it wont be necessary but if it is that we will be able to postpone and not lose any money. It is such a hard and scary situation - such a big moment of our lives.

Definitely contact your vendors. Mine said around the 2 month mark from the wedding to contact them if we need to postpone but before then they said be patient and see how things go.

I hope it's all cleared soon, at least by June. My heart hurts for brides having to cancel or postpone right now.

Thanks guys, it helps hearing all of your perspectives. I feel like I’m on the verge of panicking but also not because it’s still a few months away.
Just feeling listless cus I temporarily halted planning to kind of prepare myself mentally and financially. Hopefully things start to get under control soon 🥺🙏

My wedding is also planned for August 8th. At this point we're not changing anything and I really hope we won't need to, but we came up with contingency plans for basically every possible way this whole mess could go anyway. Writing down all of the possibilities made me feel a lot better because now I feel like I have at least some control over the situation.

View Quoted Comment That’s such a good idea! Thank you! It’s a good call out, a bunch of my anxiety is worrying about not having control.

August 16th here and we are staying on track. We did discuss the possibility of cutting the guest list just to immediate family (no kids,no friends) if need be, and we’re okay with that ..only time will tell.
We are reconsidering the honeymoon to Iceland only because we don’t know how finances will be if FH has to take time off. I’d much rather bank the money than spend 10k we budgeted for the honeymoon.
We have a cruise booked to Bermuda in April but that was cancelled and we’re able to reschedule it, so maybe that will be our honeymoon, but two of our kids will be with us, which is fine. We can always go on a trip just ourselves.

The way I see it this site we got some wonderful ladies here we stick together! Nice to see other ladies with the same wedding date as me. Hoping for this virus to go soon!

Date twin!

We are (hopefully) getting married this August in Seattle and I think optimistic thoughts with a realistic approach is at least the way for me. I like the idea of being proactive and transparent with both vendors AND guests (because they are likely anxious as well). Below is an example of an email we just sent out to all our guests. Although it's not ideal, I am the type of person that feels better knowing that we have a plan B. Good luck to all of you beautiful brides!

Hello All,

First and foremost, we hope everyone is staying healthy and safe during this whirlwind of a pandemic. We also wanted to keep everyone up-to-date on our 8/8/20 wedding plans. At present, we are hoping for the best, and that August is far enough away that this will no longer be an issue.
However, we intend to prioritize everyone's health above all else. We are going to reassess the situation in the next few weeks. If we feel that this viral threat is still at large, we will very likely postpone our nuptials to the following summer of 2021. If you are traveling, we encourage you to book refundable or changeable flight/accommodations.
Also, we have updated our wedding website to reflect a 'COVID-19 Updates' page (see link: (edited for privacy)). Please check back periodically for additional updates. Of course, we will send another email with any definitive decisions either way. As always, please feel free to reach out to us at any time with questions or concerns.
We appreciate your flexibility and are sending light and love to everyone at this time!

Hiii! I feel you girl, I’m also 8/8 but although I’m filled with anxiety I’m not going to officially start to panic unless things are still looking the same come mid/end June. I work at a hospital so I’m seeing this thing play out first hand. All we can do is sit and wait sadly and hope that things work out for the better!
