We had to break the news that our April wedding is being canceled/postponed this week. Below is a base of what we sent to everyone. We would change wording here and there for specific people (ie: bridesmaids, groomsmen, officiant...).
Dearest friends,We were looking forward to celebrating with you at our upcoming wedding. Due to constant coronavirus outbreak rules and regulations being put into place, we have become increasingly more concerned about the impact everything will have on the nearing date of our wedding.
Up until this point, we have found that the best solution was to keep moving forward and not make any final decisions until the wedding date was closer. That being said, more and more cities are banning gatherings of 50 people or more indefinitely, and the possible threat of further bans on life's activities has brought us to the point of looking for plans B and even plan C.
As of today, we've decided that the best course of action is to cancel our (date) wedding and possibly reschedule for a later date. Unfortunately this is all of the information we have at this point and do not know when we will expect our new wedding date.
(bride or groom's name) and I are both aware of the time and effort that everyone has put in to be a guest on our wedding day and we want to thank you from the bottom of our hearts, we truly have no words to express all of our feelings right now. It means so much to us both to have you in our lives, and we hope to see you all there when we finally get married!
We know that everyone has their own individual needs to deal with during the midst of this outbreak, and wish everyone a safe and healthy next couple of days, weeks, and months. (bride or groom's name) and I will be in touch with further updates as we navigate our way through everything.
