Forced to a new date

Totally normal! We postponed our April 18th wedding to August 15th. I feel you 100% with not being in love with this new date. We counted down to our original date for 2 years while planning and when it was almost here we were forced on a new date. I always envisioned myself having a spring wedding. Everything had the April date on it and we loved it. It sounded right. I know they say it’s just a date but we had fallen in love with that date. I feel once that original date has passed, it will be much easier to be excited about the new date and come to love it as that is the new day we are getting to marry the love of our lives. I saw someone post somewhere that the reason we loved that date was bc we choose that date to get marry, now we will fall in love with this new date bc it’s the new day we get to be married. The whole situation is so crazy and with everything going on I know at times I’ve felt guilty for being sad or disappointed but it is 100% okay to feel that way. When our new wedding date finally comes, it will be so perfect all this stress and sadness will be a distant memory. (Sorry for the rant but hope it makes you feel better knowing there’s other brides out there feeling the same way)

View Quoted Comment We are August 15th, too! No need to apologize about ranting, I 100% felt everything you said. You have a great point we picked May 30th together, we loved it, got use to it and looked forward to it. Now the date was basically set for us.
I never imagined in a million years I would have to reschedule my wedding due to coronavirus, I could not imagine being engaged for two years and coming so close to getting married Now having to wait longer. We just got engaged in January so our wait wasn’t as long.

We moved our April 25th wedding and I'm heartbroken. We never thought this could happen I hate we had to move out wedding 5 months because this virus. I don't have connection to our new date, I basically want to get this over with, I didn't want to be engaged this long.

View Quoted Comment I did not want to be engaged this long either! It would of been exactly 5 months from our engagement to wedding day now it’s 8 months total. Hang in there! It looks like we are not alone! I pray that the brides who have rescheduled do not have to reschedule again.

View Quoted Comment Me too Bee. I can't go through this again. Rescheduling and communicating it is draining my time, my money, and my sanity

Hi Bee,

I'm so sorry to hear that you're feeling disconnected from your wedding date. Of course, this is stressful and upsetting. It sucks that you have to go through the rescheduling process. You must be exhausted.
