Anybody else getting married within the next few months and worried about the effects of the virus?


I’m getting married in May and still need many decorations and other things. I don’t know if the whole place is going to be quarantined by then and if the wedding/honeymoon will even happen. Anybody else worried? Any advice on how to proceed with things?

    We are also getting married in May. We are holding on hoping that all the quarantines are lifted by then. I have noticed a slow down in RSVP's over this past week. My bigger concern is getting the license. We had planned on April 3 to go, but if the court house is not opened by then, we are not sure what we are going to do. I am just trying to take it day by day, and keeping to my original timeline. I have pretty much everything done, or ready to be done.

    Keep calm, breathe and pray.

    Good Luck

    I'm also getting married in May and we've been going through the same issues. I've reached out to all of my vendors and everyone is on board to keep our date, with the exception of our venue. They have been shut down and are uncertain what May will look like. We are all in agreement to make a final call by the mid-end of April. If nothing else, we'll be doing a backyard wedding with the help of friends and family to pull it together. Our only big concerns are the marriage license and our honeymoon. But through hell and high water we'll be getting married the 23rd! Hopefully this was helpful, and I'm thinking of all the other brides out there trying to rearrange their big days!

    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 expected 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.

    take some time to decide what is best for you, but understand that there are many other couples debating the same and dates will become less and less available.
