Sending you hugs and love.. The storms don't last forever.

Perhaps an unpopular opinion but we are going thru with our wedding for 2021. We had to postpone as well. We are already technically married but have been planning this wedding since 2017. If someone doesn’t feel comfortable attending, they don’t have to. I already attending a social gathering of over 100 at the end of January and it was wonderfully executed. I’m not feeding into it a second time around and postponing again. Our best man doesn’t feel comfortable attending bc he’s a big germophobe but hubby & I already have a runner up picked who we will ask to step in if he doesn’t decide soonish that he’s gonna show up for us. Don’t let fear stop you from living your life.

I’m getting married next Saturday March 6, 31 in-person guest and zoom for other family and friends.

Two years of planning and a deposit on our site in limbo...we were hoping that things would open here but it’s not looking like it at all. Soooo plan b is out date in the backyard with immediate family and a few close friends. I don’t want to have to wear a mask all day and night

I said the same thing as well. Granted the count in my county isn't as high as a lot of places in the country and the governor just allowed restaurants for indoor seating at limited capacity. People are getting the vaccine so I'm hoping by August it's not much of a worry. But if we happen to get shut down again we are just gonna elope and send out announcements.

Ok, I am going to be completely honest. I am over this Covid and not going to allow it to stop my life, including my wedding. This is nothing more than a new flu strain and it has ruined many lives and many businesses. I have relatives that will not miss it no matter what, then I have several that even though got the shot they still are not coming. They even asked me if we are both going to wear a mask and social distance and I answered NO!. Then they changed their minds. It kind of ticked me off. His middle daughter is not coming because of it. He’s ok with it, but I am not. I moved my date for her and now she is not coming. I love her very much but I am pretty disappointed. She requested a hotel, I even got that for her and she is still not coming. The oldest daughter whom I am very close to is angry that she decided to not attend.

Because our club is private and not mandating masks, my planner feels the same as I do about it, but the choice is completely up to them. It is an intimate affair and I’m not going to stop my life for a cold flu. I’m sick and tired of it. The mask gives me a severe headache for two days after. I’ve done a lot of research on this and it does more harm than good.

Thanks for letting me share

You throw the biggest event on the planet my dear. This is nothing at all. We never masked up for H1N1 or SARS Covid. Don’t stop your life over this. If guests want to attend without or with, let them. But don’t stop living over this flu | cold.

Ive done the research and know exactly what is going on. It’s a control | scare method.

I hear you. He felt the same way. If not one comes, so what. If its just us, that all that matters. Love his attitude.

We have reschedule this 3 times, now we are set for a December wedding. We will see how it goes.

Decided to do a small wedding but I’m so happy about it because it’s just people I care about. All I can say don’t let anything stop you unless is something that is out of your control.

This is infuriating. COVID is not related to the common cold or flu. It's killed over 500,000 people in the US and left permanent physical damage to the hearts and lungs of countless survivors, to say the least. That's not something the cold or flu does. We would have been over this a year ago if people were responsible and avoided spreading the disease. People all over the world have worn masks for years, way before this was a thing, because they care about the safety of others. But everyone thinks their comfort and enjoyment is more important than other people's lives. A wedding is supposed to be an opportunity to celebrate with the people you love. Why would you ever jeopardize their health and safety if you really cared about them? I'm disgusted and appalled by all the people who seem to think their party matters more than the lives of the people who care about them. If people are choosing not to attend it's because they're doing their best to protect themselves and others. It's unfortunate this is happening and that you're not getting the memories you dreamed of, but it's not all about you!

3/16/21 planning and doing a wedding but micro for us @50 or less including us 😩😩😩 but it’s the best we can do with what we’re working with wanted a way bigger event but definitely not happening

For real, I know weddings are important social events and full of emotions, but... it's a once in a lifetime (hopefully) pandemic. Let's, as a community of engaged people planning weddings, show some restraint, and be the change we'd like to see in the world. Posts like the one you quoted drive me nuts.

Got engaged in December 24, 2021 and we are getting married in April 25, 2021. It didn’t affect us at all besides we decided to do something small. I’m really happy about that because just people that I care about are going to attend.

We definitely had to postpone our destination wedding from 10/16/20 to now 4/24/21. It been an Rollercoaster of emotions in the beginning. Now we just are rolling with the punches we've able to just laugh more over the nonsense. There is only so much we can control at this point.

It was looking good July, but it ended up being bad that I had to move my party to October then to now April. I stuck to my guns to have my date as 8/8. I am married. My venue is sticking to 4/24 it honestly going to feel weird. My aunt was sick couldn’t come. My uncle is in Texas and that was real bad. So once it needed to be moved from October to April I was happy that both my aunt could come (she was in same state as me) and my uncle would try to come in for April...fast forward to beginning of November my aunt got real sick randomly things took the worst she died 2 days later. So it really hurts that she couldn’t see me. She loved my husband the only reason I going through with the party other than my mom made favors is for my aunt. If I didn’t go through with it she would’ve been upset. But yes COVID nightmares I had 100 guests to start off with happy to get 50. People just don’t want to come. My cousins who had perfect weddings don’t reach out. You really see the best and worst in people.


Just got to take day by day and lean on the good people. That’s how I deal with things. I be cutting people out of my life after my wedding party (cousins one giving me hard time because she can’t read) and giving them hell first. 😆😆

View Quoted Comment Well, it is only going to be friends and family that I am around daily. The option is there for them to wear masks. I have researched the science and what this really is. I do not agree with you at all. That’s the great thing about choices.


Everyone is aware of the situation and we as a collective group feel the same way. So I am not sacrificing any thing or my day. However, I am not and my family is not going to allow this plandemic to stop our lives. My health and the health of others is good and we are not concerned in the slightest.
It’s your day. If you wish to postpone or avoid germs, by all means do so. But to chastise me or others for our choices, that’s another story entirely.

Sharon, I feel you! My partner and I originally scheduled for August 1, 2020 and while we went ahead with an intimate affair that was wonderful with just immediate family, we’re hoping things will be relatively ok for our postponed big celebration on July 31, 2021. The planning is hard and the fatigue is real. It’s hard to feel excited or have others (bridesmaids) get excited with you when Covid still looms large. We’re planning for sanitizer and masks for the event and we’ll follow state guidelines on the day of...I’m still hoping for dancing to be ok! Thankfully our ceremony is outside and the reception venue is spacious even if we have to cut the guest list a bit. Nevertheless, I’m feel the struggle with you. It’s hard to feel excited when there’s so much uncertainty.
