Corona brides who postponed. help Please?!?! Bride on the verge of having a mental breakdown

I’m sorry you have to go thru this. I think it would be special for you to commemorate your original date. With that being said I don’t think you need to get new items to replace the dated ones either. It’s a keepsake and a part of your story.

All of my decor and gifts and almost every little detail has my date on it my wedding is in July and if I can’t have my wedding as planned I’m going to still get married that day if I have to move the party and do like a vow renewal as well I’m still planning to keep all my decor as that will be my official date of marriage and the day I will always celebrate as my anniversary I also have things that are engraved with the date and I have spent way to much money and put way to much energy into everything to change it at this point I think it is totally fine and everyone will know that’s your official date of marriage no need to go and spend extra money.

We had to postpone our big celebration that was suppose to be last weekend March 21. We still did get married but in a small ceremony and we are rescheduled for aug 22nd. In away we get the best of both worlds. We got married in our hockey jerseys that had our wedding date on them. And had just close family and got married at my family’s escape room. I’m just happy that we still have March 21st. Then come aug we get to celebrate with everyone and get to wear my dress! Every time I think of the new date more things come up that feels just right. Which has me very optimistic. If for any reason we have to postpone the big stuff again we will wait till 2021. But hopefully that won’t be the case. When we postponed so much stress was lifted from my shoulders and now I feel I can tweak a few things. I was able to ask my best friends fiancé to be a bridesmaid. So know I can work on her bridesmaid stuff 😁

Hey Heather, I'm seeing a lot of couples who plan on still using their special dated items, even if they are postponing their celebration. I don't think there is a need to spend any extra money on re-purchasing dated items, especially if you still get legally married on your original date. Guests will totally understand and probably enjoy having a special reminder of all you went through to make your wedding happen in this crazy time!

I think saving your own specially written vows for your celebration later is a wonderful way to make sure both celebrations are special and impactful
