Coronavirus=pure Panic

View Quoted Comment We postponed until 11/20/20, but now there’s possibility of a resurgence. I’m still panicking. What are you doing? What’s your date?

View Quoted Comment I am dealing with the same thing As you know, planning a wedding is hard enough, now the thought of having to replan everything, and more money that it will cost to have to do so, is mind numbing. I have a horrible hair person (of all vendors) that refuses to give me the $200 deposit I gave her back. We rescheduled and when I very nicely asked her if the reschedule date would work, she abruptly said “no” and then wrote me a separate email saying “I can tell you when I am available” LIKE IM GOING TO SCHEDULE MY WEDDING AROUND A HAIR PERSON I NEVER EVEN HAD A CONSULT WITH. It is absolutely insane, how rude and unrelenting people are becoming during, what’s supposed to be the happiest times of our lives. I sincerely hope, the venue that we have already put thousands of dollars toward will refund us if our reschedule date does not pan out. Which, odds are it will not. And we don’t plan to reschedule again due to various circumstances. Went on a tangent my apologies, but I am just so baffled how some “professionals” are handling themselves.

View Quoted Comment I am so sorry to hear you’re going through this (original poster too) I cannot believe vendors are acting like this. Like I said we only had a small hiccup with our venue that initially said we had to reschedule or we wouldn’t get our deposit back. We refused to reschedule (May 2nd is our wedding no matter what) and she she’d have to talk to her boss 🙄 but once my fiancé sent an email letting her know we would not be letting this go, and we would make sure everyone knew how this venue was treating us, she apologized for the “misunderstanding” and we had a refund the next day.
None of these vendors want the bad publicity for being insensitive at this time. Don’t let it go, the reality is they are probably not legally allowed to be open or work, so THEY are violating the contract, not you cancelling.
Stick with it, you’ll get your money back. And yes, re planning an at home wedding is not easy either! We’re al going through a lot! Good luck!

View Quoted Comment Same! Thank you so much for replying. I honestly haven’t talked to anyone who’s going through what we are since this all started, so really means a lot hearing from someone in the same boat.

Postponed. It’s so hard to reschedule because of all the uncertainties around when it will be over and will there be a second wave in the fall. I’m also in FL, so I’m avoiding the months during hurricane season when postponing the venue, caterers, etc. Our plans are as of now is to have a small ceremony when my family can fly in from TX and his sister from WI and with our close friends, basically the bridal party. Have a nice dinner afterwards, be able to take time with our photographer, and skip out on the stress of a timeline (before all this the timeline of the night was really stressing me out). Then, and I’m thinking next April/May, have the reception/party... maybe rent a projector and play the video from our ceremony for our guests to watch or do a renewal of vows. More of a casual event than initially planned, maybe skip out on a sit down dinner and have food stations. Eat, dance, drink, do all three at once 🤷🏻‍♀️ haha! It’s definitely not traditional, but it will work out ☺️ Look one wedding turned into two! What have you decided? I haven’t been too involved in this blog 😬

View Quoted Comment Jill,


We’re postponing until 11.20.20. I’m praying we don’t have to do it again. This is all so nerve wrecking. I’ll be really hurt if we need to postpone twice.

View Quoted Comment Honestly not great, we rescheduled for 11.20.20 but now they’re calling for a second wave. I’m feeling defeated. Our original wedding date is this Saturday. I’m going to try to do something fun but honestly I’m dreading the day because I don’t know when we can actually get married.

View Quoted Comment We rescheduled for 11.20.20. Praying this resurgence of the virus doesn’t hit or we have a vaccine. So stressful, but trying to be optimistic.

View Quoted Comment We had to reschedule for 11.20.20. Gatherings are banned in our state of PA and the police will break it up. Hopefully there isn’t a resurgence of the virus this fall.

View Quoted Comment We rescheduled for 11.20.20. I’m hoping there isn’t a resurgence of the virus. If we have to postpone twice I’ll lose it.

View Quoted Comment Thank you so much 😊

View Quoted Comment We postponed until 11.20.20 but I’m hearing about this resurgence of the virus this fall and panicking. I just want to marry the man I love, like damn.

View Quoted Comment What have you decided? We rescheduled for 11.20.20 and now they’re talking about a resurgence of the virus this fall.

View Quoted Comment What did you decide?

View Quoted Comment Our food tasting is supposed to be 5/9/20. Honestly I’m not very confident we will be back to normal by then but trying to stay positive. I pray there’s no round two or further spread either.

View Quoted Comment We are planning on having a small ceremony at the church we were planning. There will hopefully be immediate family. (I didn't realize that getting a marriage license is an added challenge). We moved our reception to August 16 of this year. We will go through with it whether we have 50 or our original 200 people. I'm trying to go with the flow as much as possible. If everything gets moved to August 16th, that would be nice to know. I am just hoping we can have our small ceremony and our mini moon. I already planned on having a small vacation and a later tropical vacation so we can go scuba diving! To answer your question, there haven't been any final decisions made. Only decision is to move all the vendors to the August 16 date. I still have to move my bridal shower since that got cancelled too.

View Quoted Comment I second this. However, many of our vendors are still being jerks. I keep telling them you literally cannot have a wedding on this day, it is not my fault. But they're refusing to give me my money back. I gave them a deadline and then I'm writing reviews. I can't believe the nerve of some people. The wedding industry hit a hiccup right now obviously but it will pick up. I will never get that money back.

View Quoted Comment That sounds like a good idea. I hope it works out for you!!

View Quoted Comment I see you moved to August just watch for the 2nd round of covid-19 that's why I cancelled mine for sept25

Amen!! I postponed from May 17 to October 4. I also already have a wooden sign hanging in our house with our names and "Est. 2020" so BY GOD it's happening this year! hahaha
