Coronavirus vent thread!

I'll get things rolling. My wedding is scheduled for October and the more I hear about it, the more I think we may have to change plans 😭😭😭 Even if we don't, I've been laid off so our financial situation is screwed!! I don't know what to do... We just sent STDs....

My FH and I drove all the way to our State Capitol to have them issue us Apostille Stamps on our Birth Certificates for our Ireland elopment and they wouldn't even open the door! They talked to us through a little peep hole and said there was nothing they could do. You have to give Ireland 3 months advance notice of your intended wedding and when they rejected us at the door, I broke down. Not only that, but with flight and travel restrictions, I've done nothing but stress and cry. Our wedding is July 2, and we would leave June 24, but I just have this gut feelings to save myself the stress and anxiety that we should just postpone it. I've been planning for over a year 😭

Man oh man has this virus ruined a bunch of things for me already. I’m a senior nursing student. My clinicals have been cancelled. My pinning ceremony is cancelled. My graduation is cancelled. My honeymoon cruise in June is cancelled so now we have to plan a third honeymoon (our first option didn’t pan out lol). Our original wedding plan is up in the air, but on the positive note is that we are getting married no matter what ❤️ My plans aren’t my plans anymore but at least the important things are still happening... just not the way I visioned it.

My wedding is July 3rd 2020 with the groom and his family traveling from the states to the island that is still a US territory and while everyone is telling me not to worry because everything should reach a normality in the next month I'm so stressed! I want to keep my date, I want to marry him and start my life with him on the day we planned but I don't want to be selfish and exclude our family if it comes to the point where it can only be me, him and the officiant. I need a plan but idk what to do. 96 days away and idk if I'm getting married anymore which breaks my heart

Our wedding was supposed to be next week - small, simple affair, 60 folks - but we postponed until August. If things don't clear up by then, we'll get married with whoever shows up. 🤷‍♀️ Our jobs are safe, families are safe - Fh's niece's teacher tested positive so they're on lockdown but so far ok - and we had to put down our loving dog in the middle of the chaos because her body was failing her. That was strangely more chaotic than moving the wedding, because we had to find a vet that would let us in to sit with her. And then we had to wait for ashes curbside like it was a drive thru 😭 like I get it but this virus suuuuucks. I've been an emotional wreck from the blow of moving the date and losing her, plus now knowing that she won't be at the wedding. We were so close!!!!!! Ugh it sucks all around.

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.
