Covid anxiety

Literally so over being so anxious and scared covid will ruin our wedding! My wedding is Sunday, April 3rd 2022 and I feel like I can’t even be excited as it gets closer cause covid is weighing on my mind. In order to leave for our Jamaica honeymoon the day after our wedding, we have to get tested the Friday before our wedding. I honestly am so scared we will get a positive test result and then have to not only cancel our honeymoon, but i guess then cancel the whole wedding! I have so much money tied up in our day that I can’t even really think about not being able to go through w our day. I already canceled my bridal shower cause I plan to hermit all of March in hopes of not catching covid. I’m just so sad cause it just makes me sick thinking about not being able to have this day happen

In addition, I already tried to move our honeymoon back so we wouldn’t have to test right before the wedding and both my fiancé and I are fully vaxed and boosted
Idk just venting cause I can’t stop stressing. Anyone else out there going through this? Or had a similar situation

Honestly I feel like every bride is feeling this way right now. My wedding is March 12th- i'm not scared of having to cancel.. I'm scared of testing positive in the Dominican and getting stuck there. All we can do at this point is try to breathe though.

I'm in March and its been really nerve wracking. We are quarantining for two weeks before the wedding and requiring all guests to be vaccinated and have a negative covid test within 3 days. With large gatherings there is going to be a risk, but we can mitigate that a bit by taking some precautions. Yes, this means some people may not be able to attend, but it is worth it to keep our loved ones safe.
As for your situation, I would do an at home test 14 days and 10 days before the wedding so if you do get covid it would be caught with enough time to quarantine and then be fine. After that I would lock down and not see anyone, go to dinners, etc. It would really suck to have to cancel everything, so why take the risk?

Yeah I get what you mean, that’s something to stress about too! The way I see it, is as long as I can have the day and get to the honeymoon, I get back, when I get back hahaha I can’t even stress about getting back cause I just want to go first lol
I wouldn’t cancel either unless I was super sick or something. But if the test came back positive, at that point I don’t even know if our venue would even allow us to have it or what we tell guests…it’s all just so stressful! But I wish you luck on your upcoming day! Positive vibes for everything to work out!!!!

My wedding is March 19 and we're flying out the Monday after the wedding. I'm planning to quarantine for 2 weeks before because I'm kinda nervous about testing for the trip. I asked that my bridal shower and bach be planned for at least a month before the wedding. Hospitalizations are steadily decreasing as predicted in my area and there's a highly effective vaccine available to everyone. I think by mid March we will be ok.

I've been trying really hard to act like none of this could possibly happen to us, but of course it absolutely can. We have a buffer from traveling to the actual wedding so I'm pretty optimistic... but the honeymoon 🙈👀 ugh idk we have avoided it for 2 years already and already boostered but nothing is guaranteed! Ughhh... I get it.

If this helps, I got married August 2020 and I can totally relate to the stress! If you can get last minute things done like your hair trial, dress alternations, shopping done now would be ideal. For what it’s worth, we had 110 guests and no one got covid at our wedding. We travelled to our honeymoon and tested negative, returning back to the US with no issues. Hope a wonderful, safe wedding and honeymoon for you!!! ❤️❤️❤️

Thank you, that does make me feel better! I have to keep telling myself that it’s possible to text negative and have this happen! I just know I’ll be devastated if it doesn’t

Girl, I feel you! I am so worried about catching covid right before our wedding and having to cancel. I think my fiance and I are planning to quarantine for the two weeks leading up to the wedding to mitigate the risk of catching it beforehand. I'm just trying to remind myself that worrying about it isn't going to change anything and sometimes that helps lol.

The positivity rates are pretty low right now so I’m sure you will be fine! Just wear a mask and try to be as carful as you can until then!
