Covid 19 fall Second wave?

We postponed our May 2nd wedding to August 29, 2020. We have worries too bc what if this isn’t gone by then? And yeah I heard about it coming back in fall too. So much uncertainty for us all it’s crazy! On the bright side stay positive that if it’s comes back it would maybe be when it started... November? So you should hopefully be ok. As a tip.... we have to reorder so many items that had our original wedding date (cocktail napkins, signs, custom gift bags for wedding party, ribbons for favors, etc)... we are reordering everything but not including the new date in case we had to postpone a 2nd time.

Our Wedding is October 2. We aren't as concerned with the second wave. If the virus follows the flu season patterns like this year, then its possible that the second wave wont happen until late October early November... that said, anything can happen--this virus is a beast. BUT! I encourage you to stay encouraged. It seems by the projections that there should be a downward trend by early October. We have contacted our vendors JUST in case to discuss a contingency plan. I encourage you to do the same. Anyhoo, congratulations a I hope you have an amazing day!

They really don’t know anything about this damn virus. All you can do is plan as best you can, and hope it plays out 🤷🏻‍♀️

We're getting married on October 3rd and I'm a little bit nervous. However the beginning of October in Pennsylvania can get into the 80's. They say this virus is bound to come back in colder weather, so bare that in mind. Where are you getting married?

Likewise Megan, we are on a firm Stay at home order and most businesses except Essential Businesses are shut down here. I'm hoping for the best that this will clear up by then.

I'm so sorry you are in this boat!! I work in healthcare and I highly recommend you take every article you come across with a grain of salt. The best information is coming from the CDC, WHO, Johns Hopkins. The ugly reality is no one actually knows what will happen with this virus from one day to the next. The warm weather theory is pretty debunked by the presence of widespread outbreak in locations which are currently in, or moving into, a warmer weather season. There might be a slow down and then a second wave...it is a possibility...but everything is uncertain. That's the worst and hardest part emotionally...the unknown & uncertainty.

My FH and I just decided on Tuesday to postpone our May 16th wedding to Oct 24th. We waited as long as we could to see where things went. With all the stay-at-home orders and travel restrictions though, we had to call it. The other ugly truth is this is a very personal decision with a zillion factors specific to your wedding. And everyone has an opinion.

If in your shoes, I think I would continue to watch and wait for another month...when a lot of these orders are set to be lifted...and see what's going on then. We made numerous pro/con lists which helped some. Most of all, a big far away hug to you! This isn't easy.

I am in this same boat and trying to stay calm. Our wedding isn't until December 12, 2020, but with the rumors of resurgence in the late fall, it's making me worry and not know how to plan. We've got our Save the Dates, but what happens if we need to change the date? I also wasn't able to get in to try on dresses before this all hit, and am now worried that I won't have a dress in time. I know there are bigger things to worry about, but I'm a planner and it's scary out there

I am pretty worried about the second wave. Our wedding is November 28 in NY for 300 guests(according to our contract). With NY being the epicenter of the virus, half our guest count are nervous to fly here. It is a big Indian wedding for 4 full days. Do I cancel the wedding, push deposits, postpone to another date? Its very confusing and I feel hesitant to make a decision. My fiance and I do not want to postpone any further, its been long distance for our whole relationship so we are planning to get married regardless of anything Any advice on steps or how your vendors are helping out?

We were July 2020 moved it to September 2020 and now after hearing this with likely no vaccine on board we bit the bullet and finally just postponed it a year. I should have done that originally but I didn’t know what to do. Legally will be married this July. Big reception party next July 2021. For us in the northeast I just want to be 100% out of this for real. It’s so sad but for us we will just wait.

Okay my FH really seriously started considering this tonight. Our wedding is November 7 in Houston, TX. Restrictions are being lifted however the second wave talk is making us consider pushing this up. Here’s why, if we plan and proceed as normal for a big wedding on Nov 7 yet find ourselves in the midst of new stay-at-home orders and travel restrictions, we will be out several thousands of dollars, extremely disappointed and forced into a small wedding without either of our families. Right now, potentially moving it up, we can choose for ourselves to have a smaller wedding, lose out on only a few grand potentially, scale everything back and just focus on us, receiving the Sacrament of Marriage and celebrating with our close family and friends that can make it. Our bottom line is, we are going to get married this year...but should we move it up when things are supposedly going to be more “calm/normal” or take a massive chance and wait until November. All the blogs from early April say oh, September and on brides proceed, but honestly, we can’t be naive that everything is going to just poof, be back to normal. If Fauci says it’s likely to come back, I don’t want to risk it. So cramming for a wedding potentially 3 months away vs 6...? I contacted our parish priest and will be calling the church Monday for potential dates in August. Does this sound crazy to anyone else? We are ready to get our life started and really all this has put things into perspective. For us, it’s getting married. We can party with people later, hopefully! Believe me, it’s a hard thing to swallow but we will get through this! Love endures!
