Help. to postpone again or not?

Pang, on July 24, 2020 at 8:37 PM Posted in Community Conversations 0 4

Hi guys. I'm at a lost. My original date was May 17, 2020 and decided to postpone to October 18. I've tried to come up with plan a, b, c. and I just don't know what to do anymore. I am at my all time low. I don't even have all my decor or wedding veil or anything that is consider "extra". I'm just sad and I just don't want to spend anymore money on this anymore.

My venue says I could only have 50 people including vendors and staff on property. So I estimated I may be able to squeeze in about 30 guests.

I have thought about postponing to 2021, hoping it'll get better. My wedding is in Georgia, currently living in Ohio. I want to avoid the heat as much as possible so June-Sept is just a no for me. I thought about the end of April or early May but with COVID I just don't know. I really don't want to wait until October of 2021. And to top it off, my parent's health is declining and I don't want to regret not having my wedding early on in case something bad were to happen to them.

So should I just press on for October 18, 2020 or hope that 2021 is better and my parents are going to be okay.

Any sound advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

    First, I'm so sorry this is happening to you. I can totally relate to the losing enthusiasm for planning part. None of us imagined our weddings this way, and it flat out sucks.


    It's up to you, but if I were you, I would press on. There is still time for restrictions to be eased. But even if they don't, I really don't think you'll regret a special day with your parents there, marrying the love of your life. even if it's not how you imagined it.
    If you have a friend or family member who is willing to help or if you have a little money to hire someone, I would see if you can get someone to help you get to the finish line cheaply and with lower stress.

    We rescheduled from May 4 to October 20, and are probably going to reschedule again for Oct 2021. We are civilly married and wanted to get married in church, and have our international families present (no one but best friends were at the courthouse). It's tough to coordinate across the world, otherwise I would probably wait another few weeks and see how the country reacts to schools reopening. I had gotten to the point where I was just over it and wanted to get past it, but now looking forward to next year where there will hopefully be no issues. As long as your parents are there, I can't see how it would be a bad day!

    I'm so sorry Pang, these are all such difficult decisions!

    It's up to you and your fiancé(e), so I would try to lay out your pros and cons and see how you feel about things. There are some wonderful intimate wedding celebrations happening right now that should give you lots of great inspiration if you do want to try to make it happen this year! (Check them out here: Last week's wedding photos, engagement pictures, and more!)

    Thanks ladies. I end up postponing to May of 2021. The recent travel restrictions for my state made the decision for me.
