Corona brides

Hey there, you will find a lot of people on here are having small ceremony’s now on their original date, and waiting until next year or several months down the road for a reception.

We postponed our April wedding to September here in Virginia. I personally didnt want to do a ceremony and wait for a reception later so we postponed. Do whatever you will look back in five years and be happy with. It’s sucked, but for us postponing made the most sense. I wanted the day just like I planned.

Sorry for the repeating, talk to text glitchy-ness lol.

Our wedding was originally this September, but we postponed to May next year. We are doing a small ceremony with only our parents and his sisters there. We cut down our original ceremony to only be about 5 minutes (just doing the I dos and ring exchange basically). But we are still going to do the full ceremony and reception in May. That way we don't have to wait until May to be officially married, but we still get to exchanged vows in front of our family/friends and have our bridal party up there with us!

We finally decided that this is what we are going to do...our Plan B

We’re going to do a small ceremony at the park with just our parents, and then have a larger (ok so like 30 guests) marriage celebration & vow renewal with a reception next year. FH doesn’t want to wait a whole year so he’s hoping for Spring.

We will be, although it's not because of covid. It's just more how we are as a couple. You can still make it a special event for you both, without a guest list or party.

My wedding is next Friday July 17th! We live in Florida and as everyone knows has become a hot spot over the last month. We were so excited when things opened here thinking we were going to get the original wedding we planned which was under 50 people anyways, but things only got worse and more and more people did not feel comfortable with coming. So instead of wasting thousands of dollars on minimum dinner count we made the ultimate decision about a week and a half ago to postpone the wedding reception to next June. Honestly my Fiance just wanted to cancel the reception and not worry about it, but I still want those memories with my friends and family.

New plan is small intimate beach ceremony with about 14 guests and a nice private dinner at a formal steakhouse in the same city where we are getting married. It is mostly my immediate family and a few of my friends who were still ok to travel to Florida and his best man and kids. Not what we pictured, but I let go of the anger and now focusing on making our day special and memorable for the two of us. My mom always says it should be more exciting because now I get to celebrate twice. We will do a renewal ceremony next year because none of my bridesmaids can make it due to military restrictions due to COVID, they spend all the money for dresses and it is still a moment I want to share with them!

Once you kinda decompress the whole situation and know it is completely out of your hands, you and your Fiance will find what will be perfect for you two. Whether it is something small on your original date, or go with the original plan, or postpone part, or like you said just have a ceremony and that's it! Just keep in mind what memories you want to have even if you have to wait for some of them!

Hey Steph, I agree that waiting a year or more is not worth it only because we don’t know when this is going to actually end. I am getting married this month and we are doing a small ceremony close family and a small dinner. I hired a photographer and we have a wedding cake to cut and a champagne 🥂 for roasting and also live streaming the ceremony for those who cannot make it due to health reasons ❤️ Good luck

View Quoted Comment That sounds good! How did you tell your guests what you were doing? Did you send invites In the mail or just a text? Also how many people did initially Invite and how many are going to your dinner ? Just wondering because I have to send out something soon with our changes!

View Quoted Comment Hey steph so no invites as far as mail because that cost so I just initially called and texted everyone who I wanted to be there as well. Because the of the Covid a lot of family members 100 guests understood that it’s close family.. less than 15 people but I am doing live streamed through zoom on my phone so everyone can still be a part of it ❤️

View Quoted Comment Thanks for the input! I do not know how to decide on the people if we did have a small dinner. I was possibly considering telling everyone it’s just the church. Them saying RSVP on our website or text. Then see who’s coming and if it’s a small amount maybe do something
