Depressed? How to get going again?

Jordan, on April 13, 2020 at 10:51 PM Posted in Planning 0 2
So unfortunately we had to postpone our wedding due to the virus, it was extremely devastating I’m sure like for everyone else that had to postpone as well. Since we decided to postpone I’ve feel like I can’t do anything for our wedding, I just feel like I can’t even get my self going with our wedding again. But not only our wedding I can’t even look at anything or anyone else’s wedding or watch a movie where people get married, it just makes me so sad. I’m also super frustrated because it’s taken weeks to figure it a date all our important family members, bridal party, and vendors can all come/work. But now it’s effected how long I can see my MOH, she lives out of state, and we can’t get our cruise for our honeymoon figured it with the new date. I feel like we had everything perfect and now some of it is ruined. How is everyone else getting them selves back into it? Is anyone else having a similar problem? I know it could be a lot worse and I am beyond thankful I still have my FH and we are both safe but I can’t shake this feeling and it’s been a few weeks now. Mind you before this I have been dreaming of my wedding since 5th grade and non stop planning and DIYing since we got engaged 2 years ago.

    Smiley sad I think with a lot of the brides I’ve been seeing here who have to postpone due to covid, they try to find the silver lining to it all. E.g the added time gives them the ability to diy more or save up more $$, etc. there’s a silver lining in things, it’s up to you to find it. It definitely doesn’t mean you can’t be sad because I know it’s disappointing.
    Best of luck to you!

    I'm in the same boat. We had to cancel for now and have no idea when we are going to postpone because nobody knows when everything will be back to normal. We are most likely going to lose thousands of dollars and have to cut our guest list significantly because I have family all around the country (some important ones in the hot zones) and I don't think people will be comfortable flying/traveling any time soon. I feel the same way about seeing other weddings or brides. I get emotional when I see wedding posts and even had a friend who I used to talk wedding planning with get married literally right before all the restrictions went into place in March and I can't help but feel jealous of her and all the brides who got to have their wedding before all of this. I have my good days and I have my bad days when it comes to facing the reality of cancelling our wedding with no real idea of when it can happen. It breaks my heart that it won't happen to the scale that I wanted but I am trying to stay positive and hopeful. I am sick of hearing it but I think I am finally to the point where I am taking it day by day and just trying to look forward to all of the other major mile stones that we will hit like buying a house and starting a family! I am so ready to get to the end of this, where life can be back to normal and I can see my family again and hold my nephews and marry the love of my life. I am hoping it will be a good story or something I can laugh about someday, but today is definitely not that day.... and that is okay! Hang in there! I promise this will pass and I am having to remind myself the sometimes painful truth that life goes on no matter what! I am just going to try to continue to hold on for the ride.
