Covid-19 wedding stress.

We are supposed to get married May 23 in a state park in New York and the venue was supposed to open April 9th, but is now not even opening until May 1. All our vendors are still willing to work with us if we still have it. We are looking into a tiny wedding with 27 people and then receptions with family around the country over the summer. If we go that route, we will be hiring a videographer to take high quality videos so we can share those with family who cannot be there.

Neither of us want to postpone. My sister is supposed to get engaged and married soon so we don't want to try to compete with them for the spotlight. That being said, it's unlikely that this will have calmed down by the beginning of May looking at what's happening in other countries. We are trying to figure out our Plan B and be ready to call and audible if needed.

Hi Ashlei! I've heard a lot of different things! Some brides are waiting another week or two before making decisions, and others felt much more relieved to make the early call to reschedule.

You aren't alone right now! You can connect with other May brides facing the same questions here: May brides and your plan of action?

We've also started gathering resources here: COVID-19 Wedding Support Central!
