Couples getting married on October 10, 2020

We just ordered our invitations for this year. After many hours of discussion we decided to proceed with the following precautions:

Guest list reduced from 100 to 65
Masks required for ceremony and dancing
Disposable masks available outside of bathrooms
Hand sanitizer everywhere
All staff wearing masks
Fewer guests per table (4-5 instead of 8-10)
Tables further apart
Plated hors d'oeuvres instead of passed
Plated dinner (we were already doing this)
Ceremony livestream
(Kindly) asking guests to refrain from high-risk activities for two weeks beforehand
Asking guests to take their temperature before coming/do not attend if they are sick or have a cough

We are moving across the country at the end of October and didn't want to have to plan a second wedding from 1,000 miles away.

Getting legally married 10/10/2020 but holding off for the ceremony / reception in 2021!

I postponed my wedding today I feel better that I don’t have to worry anymore that my big day won’t happen the way I want it to so the new date is May 28th 2021

As recently as two weeks ago we considered moving forward with restrictions in place. But we have finally come to terms it wont be the wedding we envisioned and most of our loved ones wont be able to come (think 75% of the guest list cut). We have made the difficult decision to postpone. It's been especially difficult, since we were now under the 100 day mark.

NY wedding. Postponed our reception to Feb 2021 but still getting married on 10/10. I feel better that we pushed it back. Relieved but also a bit stressed cause now we have to plan a separate ceremony space(it was going to be at our reception prior to guests arriving) and just the logistics of that day.

This week we postponed our big event until 11/2021. We're still getting married on 10/10. Up until about 3 weeks ago, we were pretty optimistic about going ahead. We know our venue was taking all the proper precautions with spacing & sanitizing. But we felt we would be putting our guests in a bad position between wanting to be there and being safe. We want our guests to enjoy themselves without worry.

Hi Wedding Day Twins!! My first wedding date was 6/20/20 but with everything going on we postponed it to 10/10/20. I must say I do love that date. It should be easy for my fiance to remember lol. Right now, with fingers crossed, we are going to have a small intimate wedding in our backyard. I am trying to plan this out now. This is the fourth change that I have had to make. My dream wedding was to get married in Disney World but we could not do that so I am making our ceremony/dinner Disney themed.

View Quoted Comment Oh we're keeping the date. I love it too much! As long as we can get a license, we're getting married. We don't know if it'll be just us & the officiant, us & our parents, or us & parents & siblings + partners. Something small in a backyard probably. But we want to have our 10-10 anniversary. Then we'll have a vow renewal + reception on our postponed date

I just found this group. I’m getting married in 10/10/20 too. I live in Texas and we are contemplating having a minimony and then celebrate next year. Have any of you made decisions to change your plans?

Considering cancelling our destination wedding in Florida, has anyone else ? Did you get your money back from deposits ?

Hello twins unfortunately we have decided to
Postpone the wedding until March 20,2021 I just don’t want to have to deal w masks hoping their is a vaccine before this!!! Good luck sister brides

New York bride here! We are still getting married on 10/10/20. We haven’t moved our reception yet but it’s only a matter of times until we do.. we are meeting with our priest tonight to find our guidelines in church. Such a stressful time. It’s just not fun anymore

We broke the news to everyone today of the wedding celebration being postponed. Invitations are now a waste and we are waiting for the venue to let us know if they can accommodate us for the new date we have in mind. We paid for a small chapel and fortunately a prime time we wanted opened up for our original date so I thought it was meant to be. This pandemic is no joke... we thought because casinos are open in Vegas now that we will be ok to gather up all 200 people on our game of thrones themed wedding but my soon to be husband and I decided to be safe than sorry as we think of our love ones first and foremost. I read someone mentioned “MINIMONY” so that’s what we are doing on 10-10-20 and do a big one when it is safe to do so. I hope you all ladies have fun no matter what.

View Quoted Comment I’m so sorry! Believe me I know.. we are moving forward with our church ceremony on 10/10/20. Along with our family, bridal party etc. we will be sending invites for the ceremony. We did have to postpone our reception for 7-25-21. On the upside, at least I get to wear my
Wedding gown twice.

Wishing all the best to each of you! We are dealing with the same stresses and struggles during what should be our happiest time. I’m in Georgia, and my fiancé and I are still moving forward with our 10/10/2020 wedding. Invitations will go out next week, and we are just praying that the church we have booked will not cancel on us. However, they haven’t gone back to in-person services yet, so we are checking around for possible Plan B, C, etc locations if needed. No matter where we end up or who is there, we will be married at the end of the day. Everyone we love supports us and wants us to have our day, whatever that may look like, and we’ll share it with them however we can, either in person or via social media. We’ve been together over 3 years but live 70 miles apart...no more waiting. Take that, COVID...love wins! ❤️

I was so certain as late as last week that we would move forward with a limited guest list of 100 (original was 200). However yesterday the governor in VA restricted gatherings in Eastern VA to 50 people and we had to make the unfortunate decision to postpone.

I’m in FL. I think we are in a different world down here. I limited some of the guests, but we still have a good amount. I’m hopeful some will decide to attend virtually instead of in person. (Our church has been really great during the pandemic for streaming our masses, so it’s nice to be able to offer that option to our guests.) My groom & I finally decided that people need to make their own decisions about attending and we won’t have any harsh feelings towards their decisions. Since we don’t seem to be locking down again, we are going to roll with the times and have masks available and hand sanitizer and expect people to behave appropriately!

View Quoted Comment We are also in Florida and decided the exact same thing. If our guests feel comfortable being there they will, if not no hard feelings. Our venue isn’t placing any restrictions on us as of this week....so we are riding it out.

Update...The church we had booked cancelled on us three days before invitations were going out. That is, they said we could only have it there if we had 50 or less people. We are in Georgia and feel the same as some of you...we are going to let people make their own decision as to whether they feel comfortable attending. We already have a lead on a new location where everyone that we feel will attend would have room to social distance, and we will stream live for those who don't feel comfortable. We will let them know that we completely understand and will have no hurt feelings. There will be plenty of hand sanitizer, and guests will be encouraged to wear masks and do their part to keep everyone healthy. But we are going for it, and we want to be sure that everyone who wants to share the day with us will be able to do so. Who knows when this will end, and we are ready to be married. Good luck to all of my date twins out there!

Hello fellow 10/10/20 brides! We are getting married at a local country club since it’s always been a dream of my fiancé’s. As many of you might feel even with Covid our date is still our date regardless if we have 100 or 25 people!
