Cancel wedding

We're looking at September as possible backup dates for our reception.

View Quoted Comment Wedding date twin!

My wedding is on June 6, at this point I don’t know what to do. Trying to remain calmed and not stressed about the situation.

Also moved from May to August. Now my mom is concerned because things are supposed to peak in July. But, all the vendors are on board with the August date. My dad thinks we should see how this goes. All I can say is, I don't know if I will reschedule a second time.

View Quoted Comment That's what I told my FH, and he agreed. We may still get married at the courthouse near our date, then have the vow renewal as a backup plan. We're debating on it.

View Quoted Comment Are you flipping out. I'm not because hopefully this will be resolved by our wedding.

Hello there, September 12th bride here as well...I am trying to stay positive and keep thinking this will be over soon. It is certainly forcing me to sit down and get some items checked off the check list! Also another plus we are saving money by staying home...

I really do feel for all the brides that have to reschedule, I don't know if I could handle that. I get it, but once is enough stress!

View Quoted Comment I think pandemic wise, we’ll be fine by the wedding. I’m more concerned about the ripple effect of this.


While I’m not flipping out, I did have the conversation about possibly canceling the wedding. I work for a small business and there’s a very real chance I’ll be laid off. I’m also in NJ where the biggest outbreak is. We’ve closed for the rest of the month. Right now I’m just gathering information to see what my options are (like would the venue let us do a smaller menu for a reduced rate). With our venue i believe canceling before 200 days out we just lose the deposit. I already have my dress.
Luckily, I’m mentally grounded and my fiancé is amazing. Our families have also been understanding too. We talked about things like not do a rehearsal dinner and use the money for the wedding, or skip the honeymoon. And my mom who insisted she needed to see me get married completely understood, which was a relief.

My wedding is July 25th and I'm addressing envelopes for the invitations today. Worrying does nothing at this point and I will go to "Plan B" if it is still crazy like this in June. Plan B for me is getting married with immediate family present on our date and a reception another time (maybe... or save all that money!) I feel so bad for the girls with weddings coming up in the next two months. But I'm sure it will get better when the summer months roll around. Stay healthy, everyone!

View Quoted Comment I'm hoping no ripple effect will happen, but if it does then we will deal with it when the time comes

My wedding is Sept 5th 2020, We will NOT be canceling or postponing!

I posted on our website that we'd assess my end of June (wedding is 9.12.20) and that if anything we could just do a first anniversary party in a year.


I can't have our wedding linked to anyone's sickness/ death - we have friends with relatives who have autoimmune disorders, friends who are HIV+, I can't force people *not* to come so I'd feel terrible if something happened.
Best wishes to everyone - think of the safety and health of yourselves and your guests.

View Quoted Comment I hope it will be over by then. I haven’t even picked out bridesmaid dresses. I know some of them are hesitant to leave their house and attend the appointments right now. The shops are telling me I need to get them in right away.


Also thinking about postponing my honeymoon.
I think everything will blow over by then, but it’s the stuff I have on my mind right now that’s stressing me out. Like the bridesmaid dresses

Mine is Aug 29th and our venue has stated they are planning to be fine by then. Check with your venue. I feel so terrible for brides & grooms planning to celebrate in March/April

Our wedding is scheduled for mid-August. I'm curious if anyone knows of wedding cancellation insurance that would actually cover cancellation due to Coronavirus??

View Quoted Comment Yes I’m getting married Sept 25th 2020 and I wasn’t worried at all but now people are making me worried but I hope and pray this is all blown over after 8 weeks I honestly think it will still be around but it will be managed better.

You will be fine! I just moved my May wedding to August.. and I am getting married in August no matter what lol

September?! No girl, you’ll be good. It’s way to early to start to think about that. Reassess the situation in a few months, but you’re 6 months out, keep planning as normal

I had my wedding planned for May 29th, were working with our vendor team to postpone to the fall, were thinking October because we first got together in October.

My heart breaks for all the brides who had their wedding dates taken from them due to the virus. While I am grateful that we still have hope with our August wedding date, there is still cause for concern. Fiancé doesn’t understand my worry at all so it’s comforting to know I’m not the only bride feeling the pain/stress of the uncertainty. Time will tell.
