Just ask for confirmation of their address so you can be sure the medical bills get sent to the right place.

I'm sorry all of you are experiencing this.

Our wedding date is Saturday, May 30, 2020. We have been planning our wedding for a year and a half. We picked this date because I work in the school system, and I would be out for summer break and could go on our honeymoon. Our venue, which books up very quickly, has now allowed us to put a later date “on hold” in case we have to postpone. It’s a Sunday in mid-August, which is less than ideal being at the very beginning of the school year. But luckily all of our vendors are available that day. We are still praying we can get married on May 30, but I am so relieved to have a back up plan. I’ve already had to cancel my honeymoon, bachelorette party, and bridal showers. I don’t want to have to postpone the wedding! So sorry you are all going through this, too. It’s SO stressful. Praying all of your weddings work out in a way you are happy with!

Mine is March 28 & we are having to move it 😢 we wanted to move to May but I still think that month is a little unsafe... not sure what to do and what to think. My fiancé thinks we will be fine May 22, but to reschedule so short notice it puts at a complete guessing game. I hate we are all going through this.

My wedding is May 16 I’m trying to stay positive that a lot can happen in a month but I’m still low key stressing!

I had posted before that our hotel venue was still going on as planned - with 48 hours notice, they cancelled our wedding.

My wedding is in Pennsylvania on 5/9/20, and I’ve been told so far that there’s a ban of gatherings of 50 people or less. My venue told me we can still host the event (with 50 people or less) but unless things start to get better we penciled in a date for later in the year :/

View Quoted Comment Mine is May 16th as well. I’m stressing as well, I am hoping at the very least to have a small ceremony. This is all so crazy

Everyone - !! Make sure you have your marriage licenses - they are starting to NOT offer them!!! Don't think you can just show up at a courthouse. Those are closing or limiting non-essential functions too!!!

Please, plan ahead!!

Mine is in Aug I’m truly hoping this all comes to a end soon

View Quoted Comment Our wedding was 4/4/2020 we have postponed until September 19th. I’m devastated to say the least. Praying for all you other brides having to do the same right now!

My venue is being unreasonable. I’m trying to reschedule, NOT cancel, and they’re telling me I need to put a new deposit down...that’s around 5k. I have a lawyer friend and he’s looking into the contract.
My fiance and I are both frontline healthcare workers..we are facing the possibility of quarantine at any given time. These next 8 weeks are going to be the worst. I’m tired of the greed of the industry. All my other vendors have been understanding.

My date is 5/16 and my venue is being unreasonable also. They won’t even discuss any options until 4 weeks from the date. And by then I feel we’ll have little to no options. From the language used in our communications, I think if there isn’t a ban we’ll be expected to proceed or it’ll be treated as a cancellation and we’ll still have to pay 100%. All I can do at this point is hope this passes quickly. We will have a lawyer look at the contract as well.

My wedding is planned for June 7 2020. We are having high hopes, faith, and praying this is gone by then. I'm so ready to say I do. And anxious as it draws closer. Hoping things work out for all of us here.

Our wedding is 5/15/20. We are looking into rescheduling. We will still get legally married on the planned day, but it will be the bare minimum, our parents only if the climate is the way it is now (my dad can do weddings too so he would probably marry us in this scenario). Hopefully we will reschedule the whole shebang for later this year, summer/fall. I feel really lucky that my venue is being very flexible and they have many dates open still. Reach out to your vendors and venue, I’m sure they will be as accommodating as possible. I was a wreck until I finally heard back from my venue and now I feel a lot better knowing I have options and don’t have to throw away the wedding I’ve been planning for well over a year. Both of my parents are especially at-risk if they were to contract the virus, as well as others in our families. We have to put their health and well-being above all else right now. Please don’t listen to these people telling you it’s a hoax - it isn’t. Please take it seriously. You don’t want your wedding to be the reason someone catches it and doesn’t make it. I hope everything works out quickly and you can get a solution. I know exactly how you feel!!

I am so sorry you have to even think about this sort of thing. It’s heartbreaking. I’m also planning to get married in Montgomery County, PA but on 5/9/2020. Unfortunately, we’re in the COVID-19 hot bed of PA and the fact is epidemiology from other countries suggests we may not even be to the peak number of reported infections by May, even if cases do dwindle it’s not going to be a dramatic drop off by then. While we want to be hopeful, because of the amount of money you’ve likely invested in this day it’s imperative that you’re realistic. Contact your venue to inquire about their plans and how they’re currently handling events. Mine said they would postpone without penalty if the need arises. Also be mindful of all of your vendors cancellation policies and ask if they’re adapting to this unprecedented situation, chances are they don’t want to expose themselves or their employees. Consider your guest list, the elderly can not afford to be exposed and while people may not be symptomatic they may carry the virus and be capable of infecting vulnerable populations without knowledge. I’m currently wrestling with this same issue, but I keep thinking how will I remember this amazing day if one of my loved ones becomes critically ill after attending my wedding, it would always be tarnished. This is an uniquely stressful situation to navigate, just monitor the reports and keep in mind the numbers that are reported probably don’t accurately reflect all of the positive cases we currently have in the area. Realistically, this will get much worse before it improves. Best of luck!

Ours was going to be on 4/4/2020. We live right outside New Orleans and everything is so locked down that we decided to postpone. We’ve been planning for a year and a half and to say we’re heartbroken would be an understatement. We know it’ll all work out in the end but trying to replan for a new season and a new date is driving us insane lol but all of our vendors and venue have been nothing but supportive and helpful, thankfully. I hate so many of us are having to go through this 😔

I commented last week and had no intention of cancelling our 4/25 wedding, but a lot has changed and the stress of uncertainty was eating away at me. I reviewed all my contracts and reached out to our vendors to see if they had any different postponement/cancellation policies due to this, all were flexible. My fiance and I had multiple really good talks and I cried a lot, and decided it would be best to postpone the full reception and do a vow renewal ceremony and still try to get married with just immediate family on our original wedding date (unless there's a lockdown). We got lucky and were able to find a Friday in December later this year that all of our vendors were available for and we haven't had any date change fees at all (the one who mentioned there would be a small fee didn't end up charging it on our new contract either in error or because we were nice and understanding and Friday rentals were less expensive than saturdays so maybe they waived it? BEING NICE TO YOUR VENDORS PAYS OFF).

Either way, I feel like I mourned the idea of our wedding that I was envisioning, refocused on the idea of basically having two weddings both different than planned but both will be beautiful, and the amount of relief I've felt since we made the decision has been UNREAL. Best thing I could have done for my own health. The day after we picked our new date, our city restricted gatherings for 10 people or less on mandate, so we got first pick with all of our vendors before that hit.

EVERYTHING WILL WORK OUT HOW IT'S MEANT TO BE AND YOU'RE ALL STILL GOING TO BE OKAY AND HAVE BEAUTIFUL WEDDING DAYS AND MARRY THE LOVE OF YOUR LIFE.

Mine is May 23. My fiancé talked to 2 doctors and they advised to wait 2 weeks to see how things are don’t make decisions until 4 weeks. I have no clue what to do!

My shower was canceled and our wedding is July tenth so we are panicking too wishing you luck .
