    Definitely hard to enjoy the planning process, with COVID 19 looming over us. I hope and pray that this crisis ends soon for the worlds sake and selfishly so that all of us can enjoy our special day. Have any of you had invitations printed up yet?

    Hopefully the military lifts the travel ban so my boo and I can still get married this year.

    Well I pulled the trigger and postponed ours to March 2021. I'm really sad about it because it means pushing out our timeline to start a family but everyone's health and comfort are top priorities for us. Our guest list is 200 so we are fairly certain that we won't be able to host that large of a gathering by August. Good luck everyone and I will definitely be FOMO-ing yall's pictures in August!

    Hey everyone! Hope all is well Smiley heart

    Just wondering how everyone else is doing and if you were still moving forward with planning & invites. Reception or not, my fiance and I are still planning on getting married on the original date and if we need to postpone the reception to a later date, we will. We also have a large guest list (we both have big families). I still think it's too early to say for sure, but I'm not particularly motivated to keep planing right now given everything going on.

    We stopped planning, our wedding venue told us no decisions can me made until we are 60 from wedding date. Never in my wildest dreams would I think we all would be going through this!

    Hi date twins! Finally pulled the trigger on emailing our venue (WI) and other vendors just so we could come up with a plan B if needed. Luckily our venue was super flexible by allowing us to put a “soft hold” on a date in 2021. After emailing everyone, I feel so much better about everything. We will still be getting married on 8/8 in a private ceremony regardless, but most likely moving our reception (250 invites) Best of luck to you all!

    What should be a joyous and exciting time has become a planning nightmare. I just don't know what to plan anymore. Like many others, I've lost a lot of motivation to keep planning. I'm also an ER nurse in the Bay Area of CA so it's not like I've had a lot of WFH time to think about wedding stuff. I'm worried about having enough PPE, or getting sick, or getting my fiance sick, or exposing my family and have already cancelled the bridal shower set for June (couldn't bring myself to co-mingle my 70+ y.o. mother and aunties w/my healthcare friends (who would've thought we'd have to think about that?!)). Now that we are SIP through May, my sisters are asking about the bachelorette set the first week of June and I don't know what to say (it was already changed as we were originally booked for a cruise). This all has been so frustrating to deal with and I feel so guilty for being selfish about this when people are dying around us. 8/8/2020 was THE perfect date and we are still getting married that day because it means so much to me, but all of the other wedding stuff is a big question mark that nobody knows the answer to and we're only 3 months away. The irony is that my fiance wanted a small ceremony w/a handful of friends and family, but I wanted the big wedding. SMDH. Though, I am lucky to have a wonderful fiance that is as cool as a cucumber during this. Our wedding may not be as perfect as I had dreamed, but the outcome will be the same and I will be relieved that this process is finally over. Sorry for the rant, but only you guys know the EXTRA anxiety that this pandemic has placed on us. Good luck to us all and may we all remember the LOVE that we have with our partner and its that love that we wanted to share as our wedding. Smiley heart

    I hear and feel all your frustration. Kind of in a holding pattern for the next month and then it’s going to be a big rush if it’s a go. I’m a RN also. Crazy times. Stay safe. 💕🙏🤞🏼

    Very emotional about officially postponing my wedding until June 19,2021. Getting legally married this year but nothing big to plan for our baby before I turn 35. Best wishes to all

    We are doing original plans.we were planning a tiny wedding pre-rona and im glad bc i haven't been too stressed with all of the closures or having to postpone. Our venue, a bed and breakfast, is in a part of the state with a relatively low case count and was able to stay open through everything. we're planning to do a livestream of our ceremony and a backyard reception next year.

    Any brides from Dallas here? Do you keep the date or postpone until next year? I'm so worried the current covid situation in Texas.
