Finally getting a new date

Michelle, on June 8, 2020 at 8:28 PM Posted in Planning 0 6

Hi ladies

First I want to thank all of you. This site provides such a great support for us brides. I find it hard finding people than can relate to what I’m dealing with.

Long story short. DW in November, and I tried to reschedule with no good dates offered (all during hurricane season) I was also told no refunds would be happening, due to the economy. I got very discouraged and wanted to cancel everything and sell my dress. Which my MOH kindly and quickly snapped me out of lol I finally told my venue that I was likely going to cancel the wedding if they couldn’t offer me dates that worked. (At this point I have already started communicating with new resorts.) magically, as soon as I said I would likely be cancelling closer to the date for my 50% refund, they have some weekday dates available during the time I requested.

I am just so relieved, and slightly irritated that I had to threaten to cancel completely before any good dates were offered, but I finally feel like it’ll all be ok. I get to still have the wedding in Jamaica at one the the most desirable boutique hotels in the Caribbean, not loose my deposit, keep the guest list, have extra time to save. This has been very discouraging couple months and all you ladies out there dealing with rescheduling issues just don’t give up. Our day will come. Make sure you stay persistent about what is important to you and your fiancé. I am just waiting to finalize the specific date now but new date is for late April to early May 2021. I hope I won’t end up having to move it again!

Thanks for reading!

    I’m so glad it worked out for you! And I agree, this forum has been so so supportive and such a wonderful, creative, and positive community. It’s meant more than I can say, particularly with the last few months, to have this forum to share concerns and get ideas from one another.

    Congratulations! I love those "magic" moments where people suddenly find a new option as soon as you become a little firmer. Standing up for yourself is a good thing!
