I know everyone's situation during this COVID-19 pandemic is different, so I pray for all of you brides-to-be!
Postponing my wedding is not what I had envisioned. Our original wedding date was 7/17/20, but we have members of our immediate family spread out across the country and many family members in the high-risk age groups of contracting COVID, which would make it extremely difficult to keep this date. I am thankful that all my vendors are working with us, and we have postponed our date until next July. Now, I get to plan an even better wedding!
However, my fiance and I have been dating for a little over 7 years. We have been planning for our first child for about a year now (since we got engaged last January) and were hoping to have our first child by next summer. We can only get married in the summer because most of our family, including us, are teachers.
Due to religious reasons, I really wanted to be married before having children. We have our blessing to get married this summer in an intimate setting, just the two of us, but our family would like us to have a renewal ceremony of some sort next summer and want to see me in my original dress.
Now I'm stressing out over my dress. My concern is, if I do get pregnant this year and have a child before next summer, I do not think my ballgown will fit. Should I get fitted in the dress now (my first fitting is June 2nd) and hope that I can get it re-altered for next year's ceremony, or is it wise to find another dress because of my pregnancy plans?
Any help would be nice, thanks!!
