Covid-19 and Wedding plans.

Jessica, on March 24, 2020 at 3:48 PM Posted in Community Conversations 0 9

Hi, I am getting married June 6th but I am worried I may have to postpone my wedding date with the virus going around. We have a lot of people coming who are in their 50-70's, and I am just worried about everyone's wellness especially my parents. My mom has some health issues and a family member on my fiancé's side does as well. I really want to have my wedding but I would like some input. We have around 75 people total so not too large, and my fiancé and I are already planning on canceling our honeymoon unfortunately, but anyways I would just like some input. Thank you!

    We're getting married June 12! We are still praying and hoping that it all works out, but we are working on having a backup plan in place just in case. We have reached out to our major vendors to start a conversation about a possible contingency date later on in the year. Worst case scenario, we'd get married on June 12, and then hold a celebration of marriage and our wedding reception at a later date. Sending you lots and lots of luck!

    This isn't what you want to hear, but you have to postpone. If you want to wait it out, go for it, but ultimately you will have to cancel and it's better to be ahead of the game than scrambling at the last minute. Many cities are now on full lockdown and I imagine the entire country will be soon. Even if you keep your date, you'll get a lot of declines. There's no way I would commit to going to a wedding the day after (just about) the lockdown is supposed to end...

    No, don’t postpone yet. We are getting married June 14 and we’re advised by our wedding planner and the venue to wait until May 1. We don’t have a way of knowing at this point what the situation will be like in 2.5 months. But once you decide to change the date you can’t go back. I am stressed too. You aren’t alone Smiley heart

    I would postpone, since I doubt things will be back to normal by June 6. The longer you wait it out, the slimmer your chances are of rescheduling to a new date that works with your vendors. I'm so sorry that you have to go through this, and I know this is probably not what you want to hear Smiley sad

    My date was in June as well I decided the other day to postpone it.. went ahead and just went with June 2021 I couldn’t take the stress anymore and didn’t want to risk changing a few months and then having to postpone again... this is such a horrible situation and honestly everyone is just in a bad place and I think by June people are still going to be nervous about large groups and traveling.. good luck in your decision it’s definitely not easy but just figure out what’s best for the safety of everyone

    Hello there our wedding is june 20th in Riviera Maya MX. My travel agent did call me a few days ago and we had a conversation about postponing the wedding I don't have to make a decision right now I have till the end of april. But of course that does give me slimmer option for dates but I'm okay with that. So depending on what you are wanting to do I would hold off just a little bit longer and hope for the best things could get better for us. I feel like god sent me a sign last week while I walked into target the song I'm walking down the aisle to started playing i started to tear up and I got goosebumps. So we shall see goodluck to you and to all of us ❤😊

    Renee- we are wedding date twins! My fiance and I are in the same boat. We are waiting a couple weeks to see how things progress to make a final call, but are putting together a plan b in the meantime.

    My heart breaks for you and all of us brides going through this. All the planning and anticipation to then postpone is heartbreaking.

    Hi Jessica! It's definitely a crazy time of stress and uncertainty for everyone! My heart goes out to you all. Right now it sounds like most couples are waiting a few more weeks before making any final decisions about their June Weddings, but since your guest list has several people in a high risk age group, being proactive about Plan B might give you more peace of mind! Smiley heart

    You aren't alone right now! We've started gathering helpful resources in our COVID-19 Wedding Support Central, and you can connect with other June brides facing the same questions here:

    June 6th is my wedding date as well. As of right now, I am not going to postpone! I am going to wait until the end of April to decide on what to do. I've invited just about 200 people to the ceremony/reception with a little note saying "please check the wedding website for details" (it was cuter and rhymed but I can't remember exactly what it said!). Anyways, I think it is completely up to you and your situation. Would you be ok with a postponed date? I know for me, I would not be. If it is still unsafe to have gatherings of people, I will NOT have the ceremony/reception with anyone except maybe our parents. Which of course, we'll have to regretfully email, call, or send out cancellations to our invited guests but it won't be the end of the world. But, as I said postponing is just not an option for us. Maybe it is for you!
