Coronavirus=pure Panic

Mine is supposed to be in 12 days! 😭

My wedding is supposed to be April 19 and I’m panicking. We have only had one person cancel due to the virus, which is a good sign. I’ve spoken to our venue and they said they have no intentions of cancelling, but that was last week. I am waiting to hear back if anything changes. I’ve also contacted all of our vendors and they won’t charge us anything if we postpone. I don’t know what to do! Over a year of planning has gone into this and we still want to carry on. Don’t want to be seen as a selfish person for holding the event in midst of all of this! 😭

I can imagine the frustration everyone is feeling when the big day is this close....I hope all blows over by then.
Mines is September and like many I never started to book honeymoon but with all that's happening I will be going later on or next year

View Quoted Comment My wedding is 4/4/2020 and I am starting to get nervous.

View Quoted Comment Are you still having yours after the recent CDC message? I think we have to cancel and it is devastating

I'm freaking out also because Ohio just said no more than 50 people in spaces for 8 weeks and my wedding is literally 8 weeks away

Plus I'm pretty sure my bachelorette party is canceled, that was 2 weeks before my wedding and im just crushed! We have been planning and saving up (working our butts off since we are the only ones paying for it) for this dream wedding for over 2 years and everything it crumbling

View Quoted Comment What do you think you’re going to do?

View Quoted Comment I have no idea!!! I don’t wanna postpone, I’m being stubborn. But I think I’m going to have to 😭

I'm starting to panic too. My wedding is April 25th in Allegheny County, PA. The City of Pittsburgh just banned all gatherings of over 50 people for the next 8 weeks (May 10th). My venue is outside of the city, but still in Allegheny county. I'm just waiting for the alert that gatherings across the whole county or state are banned. Invites were already sent out and all my vendors are booked. My maid of honor is supposed to fly in from Oregon. Even if they don't ban events, there is a good chance that she might not be able to fly in because they're talking about travel bans.

My photographer and DJ said they'd work with me if something happens, but I'm not sure about my caterer. I'm just feeling my anxiety welling up over the whole situation.

We’re thinking of going to the courthouse on our original date and then having a girl renewal/celebration a year later.

View Quoted Comment Those are great ideas! For me the biggest concern is I know my grandparents wouldn’t come. They’re in their 80’s. That would be heartbreaking!

View Quoted Comment My biggest concern is the elderly and immune compromised not coming. I’d never be mad at them for taking care of themselves, but I’d miss them terribly.

No, we are not Our venue cancelled with us on Saturday, I was devastated, it was while I was driving to my final dress fitting. They were very accommodating and said that we can reschedule to any open date. They gave me a list and had two open Saturdays so we picked one right after the CDC issued their message! We are glad we were able to get ahead of 8 weeks of other weddings. Just waiting to hear back to confirm. 7/18, I figured this will be enough time. All of our vendors have been really accommodating as well. It looks like we just need a new DJ because he is booked but he said he would issue a refund because of the unfortunate circumstances.

View Quoted Comment I am so sorry. This is awful for everyone. I hope your venue and vendors will work with you.

Same boat. Live in NYC. We are postponing our May 30 wedding to July 18, I’ve cancelled my shower and am doing a post wedding bachelorette in California. I don’t know if this helps but POSTPONING feels much better than CANCELLING and it would be horrible if my wedding was the reason someone got sick from
COVID-19 and god forbid, died.

I’m freaking out too My bachelorette trip is May 1st-May 4th. And my wedding is May 14th. Everything is pretty much paid for 😔

View Quoted Comment I’m in the same boat as you . We’re the ones paying for it and I’m really sad 😞

My wedding is may 9 and I’m definitely not canceling no matter what

View Quoted Comment I agree to this. I’m not changing anything

View Quoted Comment My wedding is April 26th. In pure panic
