Elopement in light of Covid?

Kristy, on April 14, 2020 at 12:40 PM Posted in New York Planning 0 4
My FH & I we’re supposed to be having a small wedding in westchester on May 9th— and we rescheduled for some time in August, but the date has special meaning to us so we’re opting to elope just the two of us and a photographer. Is anyone else doing something similar?

    I'm sorry you've had to reschedule! However, you aren't alone at all.

    We have a discussion with links to support and advice just for this situation.

    Many couples are doing a small elopement with streaming available for those who cannot attend. We actually used video chatting for DH's grandfather to join, as his health did not permit it, and it was truly a wonderful way to include him.

    I hope you can manage it!

    The thing is we’re still obligated to have our reception in August because we can’t get our funds back. It’s just a weird situation.

    That seems to be the thing everyone is doing. We'll all be glad to celebrate, no matter when you get married!

    Hi Kristy! A lot of couples are still going forward with a private ceremony!! I'd just triple check that your county clerk is still issuing marriage licenses right now! (Some county clerk offices have restricted hours or require appointments right now)

    I've seen several other brides discussing private ceremony plans in these discussions, you should definitely check them out:

    Anyone still getting married despite Formal wedding postponed?

    Brides postponing for coronavirus, are you having secret ceremony before new date?
