Coronavirus=pure Panic

Our 5/5/2020 wedding is going to be postponed. The state of the country is not going to be better around the beginning of May. Please just ensure you have the food and necessities you need and that your loved ones do the same and STAY AT HOME if
You can. Our hearts are broken but it’s nothing compared to what could be.

I’m sorry you’re going through this added stress. My destination wedding was booked for the Florida Keys on April 11th. The hardest decision we had to make, was to postpone for an unknown date because we wanted our family and friends to get refunded. I pray this is all over very soon!!

View Quoted Comment I know I can't make my spring wedding fit into fall or even winter. My dress is backless and I would freeze. If everything is cancelled then will your venue refund you? I might run into the issue that the prices for 2021 have increased and I told my venue I'm not paying anymore then what my contract says. I also have in my contract that if they cancel for any reason I am refunded 100%. I haven't contacted my wedding insurance yet I figured I would wait until the venue gets back to me. I hope everything works out for you! We are all in this together!

View Quoted Comment I agree I do feel some type of relief in rescheduling a year out. I would just hate to make it a few months from now and then run into the same issue again.

View Quoted Comment Thanks for the advice Kelly! I'm currently working with my venue to see if anything will change price wise switching my wedding from a Friday to a Saturday to keep the same date. She told me that the prices were going to increase but because of the circumstances they may be able to do it. If not I may see if I can get my money back either through my wedding insurance or some other way. All my other vendors are on board with waiting until the following year and have pencilled me in so it's just up to the venue now. Best of luck with everything!

View Quoted Comment I know I can't believe this is all happening we spend so much time trying to plan our perfect day then weeks before when everything is finalize get told we can't have it. I don't want to be the reason this virus spread but it just sucks you know?

View Quoted Comment I’m waiting to hear back from her. So far, doesn’t seem like she’s willing to refund. If I’ve gotta reschedule until next year, I told her I want to account for all my deposits etc back in my wedding fund account. I was actually just researching wedding insurance a week before all this started. I think I’m going to invest in it. Most said you could obtain it right up to your expected day.

Wanted to update all the future brides to be. I literally balled my eyes out yesterday when k found this out from my priest... As a FYI if anyone is getting married in the Catholic Church in NJ.. they are postponing all wedding ceremonies until further notice. They would not even give a date as to when they would be open to re consider having ceremonies... my wedding is May 30th and i had some hope until I got that call... thankfully our venue is working with us and we are looking to postpone until fall 2020 (October). We are thinking if we have to, we will now do both the reception and ceremony at the venue instead of the church. My dress is also backless, but I’m thinking about wearing a lace cover up I got and or Shaw... at this point I think I can handle the cold after all of this stress going on!!


I think it really depends upon the state in which your venue and or reception is as to if you will be able to have your weddings.. New Jersey seems to be getting hit very hard so they have really strict laws to try to protect the people as much as possible. Best of luck to all you ladies out there! Know my hearts are with you all!

View Quoted Comment Absolutely invest in wedding insurance! I did and I'm hoping it helps me with everything that is going on.

View Quoted Comment I'm in central new Jersey and spoke with my church yesterday. They were able to reschedule us for the following year. I don't know if that's because it's a year later or not but it worked. Best of luck to you!

Hey me and my boyfriend are getting married th

I am getting married this June

View Quoted Comment Hi Nikki!
Im glad it worked out for you! I think it could be because it is a year away and hopefully by then we will have a better handle on the virus and maybe the churches will be more comfortable with a wedding ceremony. I know for me personally though I don’t think I can wait that long.. I’m hoping to do a very very small wedding and then do a larger ceremony and reception later in October. Who knows with this virus.. things are changing so rapidly so it could get better hopefully sooner than we think. I think we all need to do what is best for us and I wish you the best of luck also during this! Sending lots of prayers of heath and happiness your way!

I'm in the same boat, on the same date. As soon as FH and I made the decision to postpone, I felt like a weight had been taken off of my shoulders. We've already sent out paper invitations, so we are going to send email "changed the date" cards soon. All of my vendors have been very flexible with the situation. If you have a planner/ coordinator, they will be able to take all of the contract stuff off of your hands.

Good luck, and remember that YOU ARE NOT ALONE!

ALSO- FH and I plan on getting married on our original date in a private ceremony performed by our pastor. We're not letting this crisis stop us from getting married! Perk- I get a second wedding band at the actual wedding!!

View Quoted Comment Wow that’s great! I had no idea wedding insurance was a thing, I wish I would have gotten insurance. Who would have thought that we would have been dealing with an epidemic. It sounds like you have it all figured out! Good luck!

Yeah my wedding is 5/30/2020. I'm scared that all my planning and stress is going to be for nothing. The hotel my guests were going to stay at is already closed until May 31st.

My wedding was supposed to be May 23, 2020 in Las Vegas. We ended up having to cancel it due to the recent pandemic. Now we are trying to reschedule for the fall but having trouble finding venues that are available since we are not the only couple in this situation. I wish you luck and I hope all of this is over with in a couple of weeks!

At first, I was like no. We aren't gonna cancel it'll be okay by our date of may 31st. Then the governor announced that here in NC. No one is going back to school before mid-may. My shower is CANCELLED. Bach parties are on hold. Add to that, I lost my paid internship (I'm a college senior) so it's been rough. Our preacher reached out and said no matter what she will make sure we are married on our date. Even if the celebration has to be moved. Very lucky to have her in our corner. My mom lives outside of atlanta but she made it clear she is going to do everything she can to get us down the aisle on our date even if it's just us and our moms. That helps, but the year of planning all the money invested in this- it's a real concern. Playing by ear for date though---- and im thinking of all the other couples struggling through this as well 💚💚💚

Your not alone! Just try and relax. I totally get where your coming from especially with all the hard work put into the wedding. Our date is 5/24/20 and we are thinking of postponing it to next year. Talk with your Fiance and you both need to be on the same page and know that your love means more then this virus and you will do whatever is best for the BOTH of YOU!

Hang in there!
