View Quoted Comment Im sept 18! praying for the best!!

View Quoted Comment My same exact situation!!

View Quoted Comment I completely agree.,. We did the sand thing ! Good luck

We just postponed our September 5th wedding to next year - September 18th. We had 140 guests gathering in MD and we just didn't see our wedding being able to happen in the way that we wanted to. A lot of people are still holding on to their dates though from what I can tell!

My wedding date was September 26,2020. We postpone everything to next year September 25,2021. A lot over a year. A lot of our friends and family were affected. My fiancé lost his job too, a lot of the bridal party as well. With that happening and Bachelorette and bachelors in July and things still close in Vegas. I’m sure over 200 people gathering in one place won’t be happening. Lots of restrictions and in sure our wedding will not be the same if we keep. For the safety of everyone and financial as well we are moving a whole new year. We will get marry civilly if city hall is open but the church wedding and reception will be next year.

View Quoted Comment I agree with you!

View Quoted Comment We did the same thing.

As time keeps going by, my fiancé and I are about 90% sure we will postpone. Our wedding is September 26th. Our governor (IL) said that we might not hit peak until June/July. I feel like with it being pushed, there is no way we can safely have our wedding. We have been talking about dates already and postponing a year would make sense; however, it makes me SO sad to have to wait another 1 year and 4 months to get married. If we postpone, we would have dated for 7 years, engaged for 2. The other hard part is that we have friends who have been dating less and recently got engage who are planning their weddings for Spring 2021. It seems silly but the thought of people who’ve been dating less being married before us makes it even harder.


I have been trying to keep it together and remain optimistic, but I find myself tearing up every time I think or mention postponement. 😥

View Quoted Comment I was planning to get married in Vegas too

We postponed from June to December of this year. If we would need to postpone again, we have decided to forgo an a big celebration and elope in the Caribbean in the fall. We don't see the point in spending the money to throw an over the top vow renewal.

Given that my wedding is a 200+ person event, a destination for most of our guests, COVID-19, the fact most are 35+ years old- the bull being 50 & over- with underlying health issues, at a Resort & Casino in Upstate NEW YORK..... I am doubtful we will be able to have it.
Ohhhhh and factor in the fact that SOMETIME in the next 4-8 weeks I am having a hip surgery because I tore my labrum to crap on the left hip, and the bone is malformed so they have to go in and shave it down to stop it from doing this again!


My heart is breaking at the thought of NOT having my dream wedding, or any wedding at all!

To make matters worse we/I picked that date because it was close to my grandparents anniversary- September 21st & they were together 65 years!!, and it’s also the birth/passing date of my daughter- Sabrina. So in a way this feels like a double loss, if that makes sense?

I am still going to wait until June to call it 100%, but it doesn’t look good....

We pushed our big wedding from April 18th to September 12th. We did have a small ceremony on April 4th but our families couldn't attend. Hopefully everything is OK and we can enjoy that day.

View Quoted Comment I'm Sept 18th as well!

View Quoted Comment Date twins!

While my date was August 29th, so not quite September, I’m chiming in. We just made the decision and postponed. There’s just no way that it will be safe enough for most of our traveling guests, and the wedding would not be the wedding we were envisioning. I’m alternating between crying and feeling a little relieved at having committed to the decision. What comes next, we aren’t 100% sure.

OMG I hear ya, where are you from and where were you having your wedding

View Quoted Comment Live in Los Angeles and the wedding was going to be local in a nearby town. However, I’m originally from the East Coast and most of my guests are still there. The majority of My fiancé’s family is spread out over the country as well. While we have prob 20 people from CA, the remaining 70/80 are not snd I am not asking for them to consider travel. States being open does not mean it’s safe. Not worth the risk at this time. Isn’t very celebratory.

Yup! Postponed it till next year !

We’re in October and haven’t postponed. But we will, if needed. Everything was booked and planned by January. So there’s nothing wedding-related left to do besides wait. We only invited 65 guests. So if only 30-40 can come, I’d be totally fine with that. I really don’t want to wait any longer since the engagement will already be 22 months by October. Plus I’d really love everything to happen on our 10/10/20 date and be done. But if not, we’ll still get married that day (because it’s meaningful) and then celebrate later with our guests.... but the max is 6 months later.

Basically, any wedding that happens this year, I feel will have to follow social distancing guidelines. For us that meant no dance floor, cutting the guest list down to separate tables into tables of members of the same family who are living together, and ultimately changing the way food is served. Plated food and buffet style food are pretty difficult to do right now (according to several of my wedding planner friends) - the only real option is to do a Chipotle style bar where you are served what you want in a buffet style line (aka, you are not touching the serving spoon, the caterer is).

Also, there is a lot of liability right now in weddings. If we wanted to go on with ours, we had to sign several waivers saying if someone got sick and sued the venue or the planner etc., we would be liable because we chose to hold our event.

Just things to think about.

Yes, a lot may be better by then, but I do think social distancing will be in place for the foreseeable future. We just moved our Aug. 29th wedding to next year.
