Coronavirus=pure Panic

With my family being in the UK we had to make a quick decision. It was better for us to postpone to August (hoping things clear up by then). I cannot forsee us opening up our borders to Europe anytime soon. If my family all lived in the area, we probably would have waited it out. Best wishes!

My wedding is the same day! Im equally freaking out. Everything in VA is short down for 2 weeks as a start. So our venue put everything on hold for 2 weeks and then there gonna see what happens from there. Nevermind the fact that my fiance is a paramedic and I work in the Emergency room so in just praying we dont get sick or exposed as well.

We were forced to postpone to next year because our venue is closed and our guest were starting to cancel even our photographer and videographer weren’t comfortable flying 😣

When the airlines cancelled our flights to Italy, we had to act quickly. Our wedding was set for May 8th but we had to make a decision to move it for next year. Venue and vendors are more than happy to accommodate. We had to cancel hotels and our honeymoon to Greece. It's a lot of work but less stress than dealing with paying a lot of money per head and everyone are freaking out as far as travelling. It was a great move since most county in CA are in "Shelter in Place" aka Lockdown.

Good luck on your plans, hopefully it works in your favor.

View Quoted Comment Taylor, mine is May 22. The thing about waiting is, how much family do you guys have coming in from out of town? My resort for our honeymoon is pretty much shut down, as are most hotels. The beach where we were scheduled to go has been closed as of today. At 2 months away, invites really should be going out. I’ve cried for 2 days now. But day by day, the obvious decisions are pretty much being made for me. One County in my area has even stopped granting marriage licenses. So far mine said call day to day. It SUCKS. I’ve literally waited 40 yrs to finally get married to the guy who I had a crush on at age 12. All of my family and friend advice is to try and do some kind of basic ceremony on our scheduled day (if we can even get our license next week, which will be inside our 60 days) and do a reception later. This is not how I saw my day being!! My coworker is in same boat and their day is your date as well. I’m a bit of a perfectionist and think that I’ll need new invites etc, but about 4 people told me no and to just put an addendum of sorts in my current invites. None of this is settling well with me. I wish I could wave some magic wand for us all. After I come to acceptance (not yet there), I’ll have to start making these very real decisions. Good luck.

My wedding WAS 3/21. Our venue cancelled all weddings for the remainder of the month and April 😩😭 They don’t anticipate reopening until May. They want us to pick a new date as they didn’t refund us

Our wedding was planned for 5/3/20, we had to reschedule it to 10/4/20 due all that is happening. I had moved it to 7/5/20 but decided to push it out further. I have cried, I felt so sad, trying to find a silver lining. It will be okay, but it is definitely something I never imagined. I know there are bigger issues, but it is a big thing for me.

View Quoted Comment Oh I am the same way. I'm nervous about getting it all together little over 16 days. I live in Tennesse. I think I read 98 confirmed cases. Kinda scary huh. We have already move our location because the National Park closed certin places and programs.
Just praying everything thing works out for all of us. As long as the courthouse to get our license to shut down We will be alright..

My wedding is also on 05-02. I am thinking of postponing my wedding but I am not sure which date to pick. Luckily our venue has available dates on July, September and even October. But I’m not sure what month would be best to reschedule since every day something new happens or something changes. I honestly would rather get married on May but I feel guilty and I don’t want to risk anyone getting sick. My fiancées family were going to come from New York and Chicago but I feel the responsibility of not risking anyone on getting sick. I don’t know when this will be over but I do feel anxious and the uncertainty doesn’t help.

I have been reading that a lot of you are postponing your wedding date from April/May to September through November. My worry is this virus won’t be gone by then. Anyone know anything that can assure me that when I move my date from 4-18-2020 to later in the fall that it won’t need to be postponed again? Thanks everyone for your help and love! ❤️

We’re getting married on April 10th as planned but are postponing the reception until this is over. People won’t be nervous about coming and you can still get your rockin’ party!

View Quoted Comment That is RIDICULOUS that they wouldn’t refund you. If our venue cancels, we aren’t rescheduling we will do something tiny at our house. You should be able to get the money back, that’s not right. I would 100% not let that go, unless of course you want to reschedule, but you should not be made to

Full deposits were due on March 1. The resort is honoring refunds for all travel planned through April 30. We are scheduled arrive on May 1 :/ Just found out they are extending credits to our guests if we can rebook before the end of the year. Our venue only has limited dates left this year. Fingers crossed the stars align and the hotel has availability and the rates are similar otherwise we may need to look at a different venue which would break my heart. Likely moving toward postponing. I know I'll feel relief when I do. I had my first dress fitting yesterday and it was so sad because I literally don't know when I'll get to wear it.

I had to unfortunately reschedule my wedding from 3/29 to 6/14 🥺

Also depending on who you went through with your invitations... I went through Vistaprint and they are sending me new invites with the new date free of charge.

View Quoted Comment I went through Vistaprint with my first set of invites and they are sending me new ones with the new date at no charge

View Quoted Comment That's my thought as well.. What if things are worse in a few months? There really is no way to know what will happen down the line. I feel line these venues only want you to postpone in order to avoid refunding money. There's no way for anyone to guarantee things will be any better a couple of months from now.. This whole situation is just a hot mess for everyone

View Quoted Comment Good luck.
I'm 6/13 and my venue is looking at cancelling as of 8:00 p.m. last night. Some are predicting a mid-summer peak, so that does not bode well for summer weddings either.

My wedding is in early November and I'm very hopeful but honestly still a little nervous. I try to keep reminding myself that if the virus is still a big issue in November, we quite frankly have much bigger issues than whether or not I can have my wedding. Trying to keep back-up plans in the back of my mind but remain optimistic that things will get better soon! I know that's not helpful in answering whether or not you should reschedule for the fall - there are just so many unknowns right now so we just have to do our best and roll with the punches!

Think positive. I’m getting married in Jan 2021 and my venue shut down too bc of coronavirus. Plus thank goodness I found my dress early bc my salon told me that if I tried to order it now, I would’ve been able to get it
