Family and Friends joking about wedding

I am sorry this is happening. Because it is the day before Halloween they might be thinking it will be a Halloween themed wedding. I would make it very clear that your wedding isn't a Halloween party and costumes aren't accept attire. As for a second wave, that is definitely a possibility and I would have a back up plan in the event you would need to cancel again.

Nobody Knows What Is Going To Happen In October, Mine Is 10/17 And We Have No Intention To Postpone At All. Ignore The Others Is All iCan Say. I Think Responding Adds More Stress That Isn't Needed.

It sucks, people are ruthless, insensitive and love using anything or anyone they can as the butt of a joke. There's literally always going to be someone.

I think your responses are right on. We haven't had anyone joking about it, that I'm aware of, though were getting inundated with questions about whether we were going to postpone or not in the weeks before we made the call to do so.

I think the worst I've heard is the same comment about having a story to tell. I haven't taken that as a joke though. I think that's the bumbling way some people are trying to cheer us up, or be positive about the postponement. We've just tried to maintain our sense of humor about it, and keep the perspective that this is just one day in the rest of our life together, whether it takes place now or next year. Plus now we get two weddings! :-D That sort of thing.

The comment about having to cancel again is just plain rude. And I would probably flat out (calmly) tell anyone who said something that to me that they are being rude, hurtful and inconsiderate. I would hope that anyone who isn't TRYING to be rude would immediately apologize. Your stated response is far more restrained than I would be. But if someone says that more than once, feel free to tell them they're being rude. People are often shocked to be called out on their rude behavior, but call it like it is.
