Corona Bride/ Wedding Postponed/ Trying to conceive

Taylor, on May 19, 2020 at 9:19 PM Posted in Community Conversations 0 9
Hi everyone!


My fiancé and I were set to get married on 4/25 of this year but had to postpone due to COVID. We have been together for over 3 years and were planning to start a family right after the wedding. Our new wedding date is 9/19/20, I am not convinced that we will be able to have the wedding on the new date, and we really don’t want to wait to start a family. Anyone have any advice or in the same boat? I am willing to get a new dress if need be. I’m just having a hard time planning starting a family around a wedding date that may change again. Thanks for your help!

    I am in a very similar boat as you! We are fortunate our date is set for October so we have not had to reschedule yet, but want to start a family sooner than later. We have been together for 7 years and are just ready for that stage in life. We have decided that if we have to change anything, we will have a small ceremony in our backyard and go from there. At the end of the day I’m just so ready to start a family. It’s such a bummer that we even have to think about this 😢 What a crazy time to get married. I say do what will make you the happiest. 💕

    We were bummed about postponing the April wedding, but it was the right decision at the time. We postponed just about a month before then, so it would’ve been too stressful to try and plan a small ceremony with everything else going on. We’ve said we’re getting married on 9/19/20 no matter what, whether it’s a backyard wedding and a reception later, or if our venue allows us to get married there without too many restrictions. I just hate the idea of waiting to start a family when the big wedding isn’t guaranteed. Plus I’m not sure how long it wouldn’t take us to get pregnant. I’m leaning towards trying and just going with the flow. If it happens before the wedding then it’s meant to be, if not we’ll just keep trying! Thanks for the reply! 💕

    What’s the priority for you here? Is it important to you to be married before TTC? Have you considered getting married in an intimate ceremony soon (or in September if you can’t have the big wedding) and just having a reception later? Would you be fine with being pregnant or having an infant at your reception?

    For me, the priority is a family. My fiancé is on board with whatever I’m comfortable with, as he knows I’ll be the one possibly not feeling well if I’m pregnant on our wedding day.


    We are getting married in September no matter what, lol. If we can do a wedding at the venue then great, and if not we will do an intimate ceremony and reception later.
    Just curious what other people are doing in this situation.

    We also postponed from April to September. My IUD literally expires October of this year. We are getting married in September whether it's 20 people or 100 people so we can start our family/life.

    My FH and I are older, he’s 48 and I’m 36. Even though we are getting married in July, we have already started trying. I just pray I can fit into my dress in 59 days 🙏
