Brides of may 2nd 2020! Covid19

I'm so sorry you have to go through this

I would contact your vendors ASAP and postpone for a later date. May 2 unfortunately falls within the window of no gatherings of more than 10 people. My state has already issued a shelter in place rule which means we can't even leave the house other than to get groceries or medicine...I think that all states will soon be on this same path. My advice would be to secure a new date for the fall or winter. Best of luck in this difficult time

My state is currently doing 100 people or less ... even tho cdc says 50 or less. It’s up to your state!

I would say give it sometime. Give it a few moee weeks and take it from there. I know this will be the hardest decison even for us our date is May 23rd and we don't know what to do quit yet we will have to face an honeslty decison ...praying for us ALL

Hi Giovanna! You're definitely not the only one stressed about this!!

We've started gathering helpful resources in our COVID-19 Wedding Support Central, and you can connect with other May brides in these discussions:

May 16 brides---what Next Due to Coronavirus?

May brides and your plan of action?

Thinking of you!

I think its naive to assume anything at this point. I understand we must keep hope, but we must also be realistic and prepare for the worst case scenario (postponement.) I am right here with you.

Our wedding is planned for June 13, 2020 and while that seems far enough out to not have to postpone - with all the uncertainty and information rapidly changing on a daily basis, I can't help but be overwhelmed with stress and anxiety. I've already had to cancel by bridal shower and am sure my bach is out of the question at this point too.

Here in CA, we have a "Shelter in Place" ordinance in effect through April 19th with the possibility of that extending to May if our situation here does not improve. Our venue has had to cancel and postpone weddings that were planned through April. My heart ACHES for those couples.

We are hoping late April will offer more clarity for the future of 2020, however, what everyone needs to understand (myself included) is that even if things "calm down" soon, it doesn't mean people will be out of danger while in close proximity to one another. We never expected to have to make such a heartbreaking decision, however, it is not nearly as heartbreaking as the idea of putting our loved ones at risk.

take some time to decide what is best for you, but understand that there are many other couples debating the same and dates will become less and less available.

Thank you all for your kind words, smart advice and solidarity. I am now an October 2020 bride but will postpone if necessary. I just postponed my wedding today. It was a mourning process since I created this post, I cried, cursed and then came to my senses. I would never forgive myself if I risked any of my family and friend's life for my wedding. So hopefully in October, after all of this is better or over I will be saying my vows in front of all my loved ones. We opted to have our marriage officiated on our initial date, may 2nd 2020, just the 2 of us, for sentimental reasons but will have a big celebration on October.

Thanks again for the support!
