Don't let coronavirus get you down

Thanks for the LONGGGG positive letter ! Very encouraging !

Yes this post is really needed ! I understand everyone’s anxiety because it IS plausible that things can happen but at the same time, it is what it is and we can’t live in fear

Thank you for writing this and posting this!! We can't live in fear but we do need to keep living. I feel for all the brides out there having to make tough calls right now and having anxiety.

Exactly! It’ll only cause issues to people who are 1. Traveling to states that have many cases of it and 2. International travel (guests or destination wedding). Otherwise everything will go on as planned! It’s a scary situation, but it’s more because the news and people are scary us with everything they’re saying. Yes it’s a deadly virus, I’m a mother of a preemie child who has lung issues, so this could be life or death with him. But it’s just like the flu, use the same precautions you would in your every day life and everyone should be fine! I really pray for every bride who has to reschedule because that’s so unfair and I honestly couldn’t imagine!

Thank you this is so needed right now. My venue has us on standby right now and I dont even know what to tell our guests this is so frustrating.

Sure I figured we can all use some encouragement during such a stressful.

Oh yeah I understand the concern during this time. I agree though we cannot live in fear.

Yeah I can imagine it is such a huge thing on their minds and I hope they remain positive during this time.

View Quoted Comment Positive Thoughts lady hopefully you hear something soon.

Phew. The next person to ask me if I'm freaking out might get decked. The venue said they are planning business as usual, and so long ad they're going forward than we'll be ok. My mom thinks we should try to get our money back, but that's because her sister is making her really fearful. Honestly, I'm in a grieving process right now. We keep saying we're going ahead, but both of my parents were starting to say we might just want to postpone. Which is killing me. I do not want to wait a year. I wanted beautiful pictures in that gorgeous setting of me marrying the love of my life. The party was just an after thought. So so long as vendors don't cancel, we might fo forward with who shows up. No idea what will happen in three weeks. But yes, I have cried twice today. I know I'm not the only bride facing changing the date or going forward and risking everyone. I think we'll still wait and see, but it's truly heartbreaking. Its not what I pictured, and I truly understand how much this is hurting everyone. Who knows what is coming. For now, I'm just sad and hoping things will power through.

I hope everything will be good for your baby during this time and I agree; it is mostly the news and what not. I am a school teacher and I am not freaked out even though I interact with students daily. I do hope every bride still gets their.

I am so sorry and that is my point. If the venue and vendors go forward then so should you because exactly as you said the day will be beautiful because of the man you are marrying. Plus you dealt with a lot of stress. I surely would not postpone a year of more stress lol.

Needed this ❤️ My wedding is 3/21 and I’ve been freaking out!

Oh anytime. We can all use positivity. I hope everything goes well and I am sure your day will be lovely.

This is awesome.

View Quoted Comment Just had my first flying in cancellation, my dad's mom and his brother. It sucks, but I think we might just go with who shows up. We'll probably be out the money either way, and yes, I do not want another year lol. We've been ready to be married since he proposed. We might do what we can now and then renew our vows down the line. I might also suggest just getting the courthouse marriage done, though really it's just a piece of paper at this point. The whole thing is breaking my heart in a whole new way because I wanted to be a bride, all women do. And there's not much to be done but wait it out.

See that is the issue I want to address with anyone. Most anxiety I see if because of lack of guests. I am getting married with two friends and I am still going to feel like a bride. The amount of guests does not determine if you are a bride or not. Have the wedding and don't worry how many people are there as that does not make or break a wedding. As long as you marry your guy that is the best and only part. I think the idea of having a vow renewal is a good idea.

View Quoted Comment So long as the venue doesn't care how many people show up - I assume they'll take our money either way. I very much expect that we'll be down to whoever can drive in, and it'll be "at your own risk". So long as the vendors don't care, then I say we're doing it. And if nothing else, we might do a small ceremony elsewhere and get the papers signed at the courthouse. My mom even went and got ordained to make this happen. There's almost something romantic about having to persevere to a wedding in a backyard with hastily made plans. Almost.

Oh as long as you pay them they do not care. I cannot wait to see pics. I know you will be so happy and look beautiful. Now that the stressful part of my life is done I can do my diet right ha ha.
