Even If We Do Postpone....

June 4th bride here. This is what worries me with possibly postponing: What date is actually safe to postpone to? No one understands this virus as of right now, and things could be under control by mid-May and then get out of control again by late summer/fall/winter. Even postponing to next summer may not put us in the clear if it resurfaces. I guess the idea is that there will hopefully be a vaccine by then? There's just so much unknown right now that I don't even know that it makes sense to postpone to later in the year. I'm worried that we could still be putting our loved ones in harm's way by postponing. Has anyone been keeping themselves up at night wondering about this too, or is it just me? Maybe someone in this group has a scientific/medical background and can help me to get a better grasp on this?

Thank you so much for giving me such a thorough response! This definitely gives me a lot to think about and makes me think we may just need to push out to the end of summer. I guess I just need to keep watching the progress and models and make a decision over the next month.

In that case, I may be ok for a June wedding! Ughhhh so much uncertainty. It's good to hear that they think it will peak in April, and I'm also hopeful that immunity comes into play to prevent a rebound!

I totally get that it’s hard to answer questions from a stranger on a forum without talking in person. I appreciate you trying anyways!

I guess I would consider mild as resolving in two weeks with manageable symptoms and not needing hospitalization. My understanding is that a most of the cases can be handled that way. I would definitely agree that it’s really hard to say how sever it is because most countries have not tested their whole population.

Yeah, the uncertainty is really what’s driving me crazy (and some of the lack of common sense I’m hearing about). Same on hoping immunity helps!

Best Wishes in the rest of your wedding planning!!
