Did i make the right decision?

You made the right decision. Unfortunately, it's not likely that we will be back to any form of normal by June. Even if we are in terms of social distancing, many people still won't be comfortable in large groups. The pros and cons list that you made is still valid, even if your friend chooses to ignore those points for her own wedding.

I think that you need to allow yourself to grieve your original wedding date and feel disappointed about that loss. It's normal to be upset. If it starts to impact your mental health or you think those feelings are lasting too long, consider reaching out to a therapist.

I know in the back of my head it was for the best; family members that were traveling thanked us for what we did. I guess just seeing that people are still going through with their weddings gives me a little bit of jealousy. I have been engaged for two years now and have been with my FH for 9 years. I try to find all the positives of this situation but sometimes it gets the best of me.

I definitely feel this. We had to postpone and I’ve felt the same. I was watching four weddings yesterday on TLC and just started crying out of no where. Lol I’ve leaned on my FH, friends and family. They all remind me that it’s okay to be upset about postponing. My best advice is not to fight it, feel your emotions. The feeling will past just like all this covid-19 stuff will pass. Good luck ❤️

I know this is so hard and so emotional in so many ways and I feel your pain completely I postponed mine from July to October but I do truly think you made the right call june is just way to close for comfort and I’m not sure how you feel about maybe pushing it still this year but that’s up to you I know it’s all a waiting game but truly I would say get married on your original day you planned if you would like to I know for myself I cannot wake up on July 17 and not officially get married that was my date and that will be my wedding date and anniversary and then you can still have the wedding you wanted next year or whenever you choose with a vow renewal and the reception it’s almost like you get two celebrations but I understand everyone feels different and just wants to do it once whatever will make you happy in the end I know this is the hardest time for us brides for sure but it is a story to tell they no matter what love conquers all! Hang in there I wish you all the best!!

I believe you made the right choice. If your friend is still continuing on hers either the venue will cancel or if things actually be kind of ok it be masks at a wedding / not many will come.

You made the right decision and you're being backed by your family & FH. I know it's super disappointing, I cry at the mere thought of having to consider postponing ours. I am so sorry you've had to go through this but it was the right decision.

With the given circumstances, I wouldn't be comfortable sitting next to people at wedding ceremony or reception. If were invited to a wedding anytime in the next month or two, we would send a card with our regrets and a gift because we would not be attending. I'd imagine most of the general public also feels this way. You wedding next year will be safe for all guests to attend and it will be the wedding of your dreams!

I think you made the right call. there is so much uncertainty - think about how initially shelter in place was to end of march and then to mid april and then now a lot of states have it til mid May! that just goes to show you that it could also easily be extended too. i think it's hard not to, but try to not think about the what ifs. think about how it's a better reassurance to do something later than not at all.

You made the right decision! It's hard not to compare to others, but you did what was right for you. I'm a July 25th bride and I'm super nervous. Venue is confident they will be back up and running by later June and won't entertain a Plan B or postponement until they reschedule early June brides and if they know July will be affected. Even if we can have our wedding in late July it will likely be strongly affected by this pandemic. I'm worried about high declines and nobody wanting to be near each other. What a mess. We are just going to sit tight and be ready to pivot if needed. Everything is paid for and we will just wait for the call.

You made the right decision. I don't know where you are located or how many people you planned on inviting, but where I am there is no way that you'd be able to have a wedding with over 50 people or one at all come June. Plus, you probably would not feel comfortable having your grandparents or other vulnerable members of the population there regardless of what the government recommends. Keeping that date would have made you so stressed out. Now you have a year for this to die down, and for you to come up with a plan B, C, D in the event that this isn't all cleared up next year.

Our wedding was on June 6th and now we moved it to December 17th (weekday). The venue had all fridays to sundays already taken.

So my choices were either during summer or winter, no much choice but to move it to december (because of work schedules, etc). I don't feel too bad about it since it gives me time to plan things that were still pending and I felt I was procrastinating during the months before this pandemic exploded.

Now the thing is the fact that it is a weekday, not the ideal, since everyone would either have to leave a bit early from work or something like that. But postponing it even further on 2021, is too long of a wait for us.

I definitely think you made the right decision but I totally understand why you might go back and forth worrying that you did not when you see others moving ahead with their plans.

The truth is, we are all going to be affected by this for some time and I think you that you saved yourself months of anxiety about if your wedding will happen/how it will happen/if people can come during our current circumstances.

Why not plan a romantic date with your fiancé on your original wedding date, a picnic or a hike or maybe even a couples photoshoot (if it's safe to do so). Depending where you live, you could drive to a remote area for sunset, stargazing and champagne!

You 1000% made the right decision and the best decision you possibly could. Why don't you do something special to celebrate your original date? Maybe you both could write a promise vow to read to each other on the date and dress up and read it to one another, or do something special and meaningful for just you both? My fiance and I postponed our already long engagement too, but it seems like the best choice. Feeling for you guys.
