My wedding is 5/2/2020. My county just shut down for two weeks. I’m in a state of panic, this is not something you think you need to prepare for when wedding planning. It sure if I’m over or under freaking out here. Anyone else??

My wedding is in 6 weeks and I was just reading they want to have events over 50 people or more not be allowed for the next 8 weeks. I’m in complete panic mode, we called our venue and he said to wait about two weeks before to know more of what things will be like by then. And now my fiancé is saying he may get called out for the national guard soon! This whole craziness of this virus has exploded so much it’s crazy! And I feel for you all so much who are in complete worry about their big day, none of us ever thought that we’d have to deal with this possibly and we all deserve to still have a beautiful day! Stay strong everyone ❤️

We are keeping our guest list incredibly small. That was the plan before the craze and now I'm even more glad we did. 98% of our guest list is family and I think the oldest is my grandfather in his 70's. If he can't/doesn't want to come for health concerns, I'd be crushed but would totally understand. I'd rather have him alive than there for 1 day. If it came down to it, I'd probably have my mother or someone live stream or facetime it if it meant someone important being able to see it. If they can't be there for money reasons or because they want to play it safe, I'd just tell them I understand and go about my day.

Hey girl! I just wanted to say it absolutely breaks my heart to see this post. My date is also April 25th and I have been a nervous reck about all of this lately. I can only imagine how you’re feeling right now and I feel for you so much (even though we are complete strangers lol). If you ever need someone to talk to please don’t hesitate to reach out! I know things are hard but try to stay hopeful and healthy! ❤️
Honestly, I love the support we have in the community right now. I am also here . I feel like as soon as I changed the date on wedding wire it hurt more. It's nice knowing that us brides are all in this together!!!

That is definately a great plan and your approach sounds so thoughtful and kind. my fiance and I came up with one that is very similar, we discussed how the smaller guest count might be beneficial in many ways. Your idea of trying to keep others involved by live stream is something we didnt think of but i really like that. We also thought wed send thank you cards along with favors for those who could not attend, i appreciate your reply i hope your wedding day is beautiful and i hope your grandfather gets to attend❤ im sure he is grateful to be involved either way.thank you for your share.

What are you going to do? Ours is on April 24th. We have 2 family member flying. One from Hawaii & another from Texas & they are in fear to fly. We are thinking we may postpone but still unsure
Sending light and love to all the beautiful brides out there with so much on their minds already! Most vendors I am working with are super flexible and are refunding monies if needed Great to be bold and ask up front. Also, just keep in mind sometimes these things just happen for a reason and we never know why. I am hoping my second date in OCtober allows up to still do our wedding, but if not, nothing we can do but be flexible. Come rain, or shine, or COVI-19, this girl is figuring out a way to celebrate even if its at a courthouse or virtually! lol
We're getting married May 30 too. We haven't canceled or postponed yet but I just reached out to our venue/vendors to see what other dates they have available. I'm trying really hard to stay positive. Hoping we'll be ok by then.
Im in the same boat... my date is also May 2nd. Our county hasn’t shut down yet but feel like it’s gonna. This already impacted my bridal shower. It’s like you just wanna scream, “why me!!!!”. After all the planning, money invested, people involved... it’s tearing me up.

I definitely feel you. I'm trying to avoid freak out mode, my date is May 6th of this year...
We're getting married on 5/22. Currently still planning on having it unless the CDC extends the social distancing recommendation. This is honestly crazy.
My Fiance and I have had our wedding date as 5/16/2020 for over a year. We have all our venders letting us make a decision on 4/16, they have been so gracious to listen to our back up plans. Remember it is about you and your future spouse, that love should only get stronger as you go through tough times and spend more time together. I get it, it's so so difficult, but moving or changing plans to keep people safe is so much more worth it.
Just thinking of all the brides going through this now and sending my love and support! May 23 wedding here and panicking but only mildly - taking it day by day! Was just coming to terms that my fiancé and I realized most of the reason we would be sad about postponing the wedding was all the planning we put into it, but also because it would put our lives on hold! We are in are early thirties and ready to start trying for baby! We decided we are going to take it day by day for the wedding but come May if we have to postpone we will still get legally married and start trying... and if I have to walk down the aisle pregnant on the new wedding date, so be it! I know that’s not possible for everyone but that thought really helped me feel better so I thought I would share! Stay hopeful all - I think all will be fine by late May, or at least the decision one or the other will become clear! And in the meantime we may get a puppy...
We rescheduled ours until next year 😩 my MOH is in the military and told me she couldn’t come to our original date..(May 9th) so we had to change it. And we have 11 on both sides... so I felt like it wasn’t fair to make people still have to travel through this...
What are people doing who have had to reschedule their weddings and vendors unavailable for their chosen date? Our photographer is trying to keep $3,000 of our money!!!
