Coronavirus and June Wedding

I'm so sorry Aundreya! My heart goes out to you during this insane and uncertain time!!

I know a lot of couples with June weddings are in an anxious "wait and see" mode right now, but the good news is you're not alone! We've started gathering initial resources in our COVID-19 Wedding Support Central, and I've also seen a lot of June brides coming together to share their concerns in this discussion: June 2020 Weddings - How's everyone feeling?

My wedding date was June 6, 2020 and we just rescheduled to October 2nd, 2020 this weekend. We were not "made" to but we were encouraged and I, personally... couldn't take the uncertainty anymore. We have also been very fortunate that our wedding venue and vendors have all been incredibly generous and kind in shifting the date and encouraging a later date.

We are in talks with our Wedding Party currently. We are being understanding of those who might not be able to make it work (even though almost all have confirmed) and will be contacting all of our guests this week. We are sending out mailers that will have a simple message about COVID-19 and with the help of our wedding planner, vendors and family have chosen to postpone to a later date. Our guests will be encouraged to visit our Wedding Website for all of the updates and details. We have all information, wedding block, RSVP and meal selection on the website and have chosen to lean on a digital platform. We'll update our information there to reflect the new date and of course, be understanding of those that can no longer attend.

At this point... it's out of our hands and we are hopeful and excited to celebrate. We didn't want our guests to come to the wedding and still be in the midst of hardship or have minds reeling from this pandemic. Pushing it out further into the season seemed safer and considerate for all involved. We are sending all the good vibes and energy out to you all! We will get through this... and we WILL celebrate.

I think its naive to assume anything at this point. I understand we must keep hope, but we must also be realistic and prepare for the worst case scenario (postponement.) I am right here with you, except I am having to sort this out sooner.

Our wedding is planned for June 13, 2020 and while that seems far enough out to not have to postpone - with all the uncertainty and information rapidly changing on a daily basis, I can't help but be overwhelmed with stress and anxiety. I've already had to cancel by bridal shower and am sure my bach is out of the question at this point too.

Here in CA, we have a "Shelter in Place" ordinance in effect through April 19th with the possibility of that extending to May if our situation here does not improve. Our venue has had to cancel and postpone weddings that were planned through April. My heart ACHES for those couples.

We are hoping late April will offer more clarity for the future of 2020, however, what everyone needs to understand (myself included) is that even if things "calm down" soon, it doesn't mean people will be out of danger while in close proximity to one another. We never expect to have to make such a heartbreaking decision, however, it is not nearly as heartbreaking as the idea of putting our loved ones at risk.

Hi there, so sorry you are going through this too, you're not alone! I've just posted a lengthy message regarding this issue. I think it would really help you to read it.
