Coronavirus=pure Panic

I like to think that I’m a low-stress person, but with my wedding coming up on May 9 (and my honeymoon was booked for Italy, ha!) and this pandemic rapidly shutting everything down around us, it’s hard not to start really stressing. More than anything I’m worried about the huge waste of money (for everybody involved, not just us) in having to move the date. I know that my fiancé and I will be married in the end and that’s all that really matters but whew, I just never thought we’d be dealing with something like this in the midst of what is supposed to be the happiest time of our lives. I just wanted to let you ladies all know that you’re not alone!

Mine is April 20 and I am also panicking! We are having a smaller wedding (35people) but we do have guests flying from RI, MA, NJ, and OR! We are in S.C. but the wedding is planned for Key West. This is so not something you plan for! Very sad and trying to remain positive! I just don’t know when the right time is to make a hard decision to postpone to give people time to change reservations.

Our wedding is May 8, 2020 in Italy. Our flights were cancelled by the airlines. We are now pushing our wedding to next year. Re-booking everything from hotels to vendors are going to be a headache.

Me too! I’m in a panic and not sure whether to keep ordering the things I need. At this point, I don’t think many people will travel for it. Is anyone planning to call it off? How soon will you make the call?

Meant to revise first.... CDC said 8 weeks no gatherings over 50... looks like it may be out of our hands 😞

Looks like the decision has been made for us

I am 5/8/20 and I’m panicking too. Giving it 2 more weeks then making a final decision. It’s looking like I’ll have to postpone but I’m waiting it out if there’s any sliver of hope this gets better

View Quoted Comment We’re look at the same. Especially since CDC just banned social gatherings over 50 people for 8 weeks .....,,,

View Quoted Comment I saw that but didnt it say they recommend no gatherings over 50 people. You said banned

Mine’s in 10 days and I’m freaking out as well. I contacted my venue and they said unless the govt. tells them to close that the wedding is on. Just check with them first before making any major decisions or contacting your other vendors. I also posted on my wedding website and Facebook that it’s still on and guests can make their own choice in whether to attend or not.

View Quoted Comment My wedding is the same day! I’ve been crying/freaking out since Friday.

View Quoted Comment We think to do the same thing. My wedding it was supposed to be on 4/18/2020 but Puerto Rico shut down everything for 2 weeks and my family is worried to go to the wedding. Also close family from the states cancel already so we decided to get married in courthouse and do the wedding later. I really hope the venue and the other venues let me select other date and We don't lose our money 😕

Everyone! Rescheduling !

My wedding is this upcoming Saturday. Panic doesn’t even describe what I’m feeling right now.

Breathe guys. Talk to your vendors. Ours were all willing to move the date without an extra cost for us - they realize the situation right now. We'll get through this!

May 1st over here 💔 Our venue cancelled all their events (including weddings) for the rest of this month. They said they’re watching the situation closely, but they don’t know yet for sure if ours will have to be postponed.

View Quoted Comment I understand the feeling. My wedding is 04/18/2020 and I’m freaking out as well.

Yes mine is the same date! Now they said they don’t recommend social gatherings of 50+ people for 8 weeks. I am hoping our venue still stays open!
