Coronavirus=pure Panic

I'm in the same boat. I'm worried as hell. My wedding is set or May 30th. We also worry about when group restrictions will be lifted. First it was no groups over 100, then 50, then 10, now we're discouraging groups at all. My venue said that they were cancelling or rescheduling weddings from now to May 15th. They told me we could do a tentative hold for another date in case we get the call for needing to reschedule so we also have a back up date on Aug 29th. This seems like a nice date too but damn, we really wanted May 30th. We had that date set for 1.5 years.

Our wedding was scheduled for May 2nd and our venue contacted us to reschedule. Our new date is September 18th (there are no more saturdays available this year).


Sending good vibes!

Our wedding is 4/22/2020, 18 days away. Won't find out if the stay order will be lifted until the 15th. Didn't get our license b4 the shut down. I have long since past the freaking out point!

Well, I heard on the news and from the Presidents doctor on top of the COVID19 pandemic that this virus may take a second re surfacing again in the fall and im getting married in FL Nov 22, 2020. SO with that news Ive started to consider postponing my wedding. I havent yet, Ive discussed it with my wedding planner at my venue and she told me to give it a few more months and then decide. So that is what I am gonna do. Ive already contacted my vendors to see if they will still honor my contracts if I move the date and all them said yes! So Im glad about that! just gotta get back to them with my back up date which I wont know yet for at least a few months. But better to plan ahead and be safe, I want to have the wedding I am planning for ya know and not have to worry about it being cancelled, id rather postpone it.

Who knows, something like this is hard to plan around. But the beat goes on.

I just heard from my venue a few minutes ago, we have to cancel/postpone our August 1st wedding. I can't stop crying over it. I guess we will just wait a few months then choose a new date and go from there?

Thank you!

View Quoted Comment Girl, I had a same experience my FH's brother called a vendor room to postpone before we decided, insulating we were talking too long this was two weeks ago!

What a total nightmare! I was supposed to get married on March 28th. We haven't even decided on a date. I did the entire decor myself and I want to cry when I see them. We may just have a tiny wedding ceremony in a couple of weeks and plan a reception later in the year. It's not as special but I don't know what to do at this point. I want to cancel with all of my vendors and see if I can recoup some of my deposits but I'm afraid they will say no and I lose it all. Then I'm afraid of what if these vendors don't recover from this and close up and then I'm out my money. The most important thing to me is to be married to the love of my life and see how things go. Ugh....when all of this happened, I was a couple of weeks from walking down the aisle.

View Quoted Comment Oh no!! Where are you getting married? I’m surprise they cancel an August wedding.

View Quoted Comment My recommendation is to check out changing your date sooner then later and have a backup plan!! Vendors are willing to keep your deposit for a later date without a fee, but the longer you wait, they won't offer that anymore. Even invitation sites are trying to help with reprinting useless invitation cause of date changes, but only up until a certain date. Better to be safe then sorry!!

That's what we are thinking we will have to do. We have a June 20th ceremony planned and it's a destination wedding...there is no guarantee at this point that we will be near completion and it will be so soon after that a lot of family will not come. So we are looking at getting married locally on the date and scheduling a wedding vow renewal and reception the following year at the venue and destination...but this sucks. I've done lots of crying about it, but there is nothing I can do to change it. We have a lot of older family and their health is more important.

We got our marriage license for our May 21st wedding, which isn’t happening now unless there’s a miracle. So...since we have the license and a family friend was going to marry us anyway , we are just doing a quick ceremony with us and our parents and then pushing the actual big ceremony to the fall some time. We don’t really have a choice at this point.

View Quoted Comment Did you trying emailing or calling all of the probate courts around? It took us a while to find one that was still issuing marriage licenses but we did! I know a lot are doing online request also! I pray this works out for you 💗🙏🏾

Has anyone moved their wedding date out? I’m considering even though my wedding isn’t till Oct, I don’t want to send save the dates out yet during a pandemic. I’m on the fence. Thoughts?

View Quoted Comment Our venue won’t refund the money because the quarantine is only through April 30 and they could still be open May 2. They have no Saturday’s left this year and I found another venue that we could move things to September. So frustrating that it’s literally two days causing so much stress... I mean, really

I completely feel you! Not only are we having to worry about the virus, but now we have to worry about our wedding even taking place! We have to stay strong though and remember that at the end of the day the wedding WILL indeed happen. Maybe not on the date we want but what's most important is that we will marry the love of our lives.

Hang in there!

View Quoted Comment The ban is already set out to have the restrictions until May 1st so any wedding in April no that they won’t allow large groups to gather . I would say the only options are maybe for you two as a couple to get married but have an official ceremony or reception with family ( if that is important for a couple months later to have price of mind

View Quoted Comment The chances of it lifting is not probable , things aren’t going to go back to normal
How they were just like little by little they started placing the restrictions. I would reason with the venue and tell them to accommodate you for a later date to postpone
