Corona virus and June wedding

I am beside myself right now, my wedding is supposed to be June 20th and most of my family is flying in. I don’t know how long this virus will last but I’m not sure what to do. This date is the 65th anniversary of my grandparents. I want to keep this date as it honors them as they are longer with us. We thought about going to justice of the peace but we want to celebrate with both families. What do I do? I need advise.

    A lot of people here will do something special on the original date and celebrate later on with a postponed reception or a larger celebration later

    We did the paperwork early and are having the wedding celebration a year and a half later. We knew we wanted a 2020 wedding (to give people time to plan and budget for a big trip to Alaska), but didn't want to wait that long to be legal (for multiple personal reasons). You could always go to the Justice of the Peace on their anniversary and have a wonderful, tiny and intimate ceremony, and then have the big party/celebration later! Everyone who loves us and is coming totally understands why we did what we did, and still want to come to a wedding even though we've been legally married since last winter. It didn't ruin anything. We saved all the traditions (ring exchange, name change, etc) for the upcoming wedding, so we'll still have new things to look forward to! And this time we get to be surrounded by everyone we love.

    Unless the coronavirus affects July weddings...

    We’re 10.10.20 and if it lasts till that time, then we’ll get married at the JOP… And then have a reception with guests at a later date (still at our currently booked venue). We loved the date when we chose it and now it has grown to be very meaningful. So, that’s our Plan B idea.

    I am in the same boat with the same date. Some of what I have read says there's a chance things will get better by then, others say it's unlikely. I feel like my wedding planning is paused and it's so stressful! I'm hoping for the best for both of us!

    June 27th, everything is pretty much DIY aside from officiant, our photographer, and catering. Having ceremony/reception at a family private location. And we will be maybe 75ppl max. I'm not too worried yet. If anything we may need to reschedule our Honeymoon which would be after the 4th of july to FL till the 11th.

    Still do the ceremony with just the officiant, and do the party later! Just make sure you're able to get your marriage license in time -- lots of courts are closed/closing!
