End of June weddings

Hey ladies! How are all the June brides feeling? I feel like it is up in the air but not looking too good. My wedding is June 20. Getting married in the town I grew up in Michigan where my moms family is. I live in California now with fiancé, most his family lives here. My dads family is pretty spread out. So probably 60 percent of the people will have to fly to get to the wedding. It is so stressful I feel like we can’t even enjoy our engagement. I work in health care so that is just adding an extra layer of stress and anxiety to daily life. We could postpone but my fiancé’s sisters have kids who are in the wedding but are in high school and moving to September we might have to do a Friday or Saturday to make things work for all our genders which would make it hard for them to come. We could do a private ceremony here and do a reception later maybe two one in Michigan and one here. We could just wait it out but I worry the longer we wait getting a date that we want is going to get harder and harder since we want to do Sept of June doesn’t work and there are already no Saturday's that will work. It’s so hard to know what to do. We are already living together and have been together for almost 5 years so not much will really change getting married but since we are older 35 me 41 him I want to get married and go on a great honeymoon and start trying for kids and I don’t want to be pregnant for the wedding or honeymoon. So what are other June brides doing? Any thoughts?

So sorry you are going through this Laura. I am in a similar boat. My fiance and I are scheduled to get married on 6/12/20 in Malibu, CA. I keep going back and forth on whether or not to postpone. My gut is telling me that we are going to have to postpone eventually, but something is keeping me from pulling the trigger. On the flip side... I'm worried that the longer I wait to postpone, the fewer dates will be available. Our extended family is spread out (Puerto Rico and East Coast- so many would have to travel as well).

I wish there was a way to know how long this will last...

I’m in the same boat, June 20th is my date. Today was a struggle for me due to this. I feel like I’m in a weird limbo because I can’t cancel without losing money and we can’t postpone until closer and we know for sure. We also want to have kids sooner than later so that’s playing a factor. It’s just a really frustrating feeling to have no real answer. We’re waiting till closer to make a call but i do feel like I can’t enjoy the most exciting part of our engagement because it could not happen

It’s hard making the decision my fiancé wants to postpone till next summer. I am thinking maybe Sept things might be ok. It’s hard with people coming in from out of town but at least with flights they are having less strict changing policies. I agree I feel like I can’t enjoy this time either and I don’t want to get too hopeful and just get crushed. I know what really matters that we are together and healthy but it really does suck. I wish I could go back to the normal wedding stress of what hair style I want and silly things like that. Tomorrow we are going to call some places and we might try to see if there are any Sundays in Sept that would work for all our vendors I think a Sunday wedding would need people to take less time off from work/school for people who have to travel that it is a concern.

Hi Laura,
Were you able to find any available Sundays in September?
You have a LOT of different things going on--especially working in healthcare right now while you attempt to plan and/or postpone your wedding. I'm so sorry for all the extra stress you're feeling.
Like you, some June brides are waiting a little bit longer to make the call, but everyone's situation is different. You also aren't alone right now! There are a ton of June brides talking about their COVID-19 concerns in these discussions:
- June 2020 brides: freaking out?
- June and July Brides do not stress Covid-19!!!
I hope you can find a solution that feels right for you!
