How are you all feeling with Covid-19

Same. Last week I started to get back into planning for my October wedding.... but with states shutting down certain things (bars, beaches etc) it scares me to think that things may be restricted more. I just hate not knowing what to plan for.

Heartbroken, sad, angry, feeling guilty for moving the goal post on our day, frustrated as hell, at peace with our decision to move it out a year (fall 2020 to fall 2021), and also I feel like my life is on pause. What a year ladies, what a year.


And my poor parents have not only had to listen to my tearful voice on the phone over and over, but they’ve had to do it twice because my sister was a Spring 2020. Double whammy.

Bummed out but doing okay.

I’m in western NE and people act like it’s not even real here! There are several brides here that are going about wedding planning as if we aren’t in a pandemic. I’m over here rethinking our honeymoon plans from Jamaica to something domestic and a back up plan if we can’t have the wedding as planned and they just act like I’m being ridiculous like covid has been here for the past year. People here think the end of summer early fall cold they had was covid and it is beyond frustrating

I can relate. I’ve had many of those days and have to practice positive self-talk to get me out of that funk! Try to think about the most amazing man you’re going to marry and getting through this pandemic is part of the test and journey... Praying 🙏🏽 for us all. Try and stay positive. We are here for each other. Don’t feel ANYWAY to express your frustrations in this group. Hard to understand but this too shall pass and I keep having to tell myself this over and over again.

Same here. I’m feeling like the joy is being sucked out of me with this Covid-19. I want to enjoy my planning but I feel stuck 😫😫😫

View Quoted Comment Hey Davina!
This weekend was hard for me which I was nearly in tears. It was to have been my bachelorette weekend in New Orleans Essence Festival. I was so glad my fiancé is out of town so he wouldn’t see me this is really really hard and everything I read it is a loss and neither of us should feel any way guilty or suppress our motions because it is traumatic in a sense many of us have been planning this for two years some three in four years and all the effort and the little details in the communications and just everything in itself it’s a lot of work you just want to see the final product and marry the person you’re in love with and build your life together. Now many of us will have to settle with and it’s not settling let me not say that. We’re making alternative choices to marry the person that we love and work with that and having witnesses.

We just recently learned that our venue is limited to 10 people until we move to phase 6 (currently in phase 4 and I suspect we’ll slide back after the holiday weekend activities of crowds and no masks). Our wedding was planned for November so am outside event doesn’t make sense and I won’t spent $4K to rent the space (comes with nothing) for 10 people. We made the decision today to postpone and are hoping to push it out until next fall. I’m really sad but ultimately we just didn’t want to risk the health of our family and friends. It sucks and I hate this so much.

View Quoted Comment We just got good news that our venue is allowing us to move forward with precautions in place of course and we will most likely proceed as we’ve already had to postpone once before. I feel kinda crazy too but I’m right there with ya with being over planning and everything that comes with it. Not only that I have the feeling of carpe diem and to just go for it because we’re trying to make the best out of the crappy cards we’ve been dealt. As they say, when life gives you lemons, make lemonade! We may not have a lot of guests but as long as I have my parents, some other family members and a few close friends I will be happy.

I have found it hard to actually plan things. I just bought my plane ticket for my bachelorette party... and our plane tickets for our honeymoon. I’m starting to book hotels. All the while I’m thinking well hopefully we can go. It’s sad. I am currently still planning on having a 150 guest wedding. I live in a small town in Arizona so COVID restrictions have been pretty laid back until a week ago. At this point who knows... it’s hard to get excited for something that might not happen.

I feel saddened with so many deaths and to the lack of leadership by our government.

My wedding isn’t until March 2021, but I still have some of the same feelings like many of you have - frustration, sadness, overwhelmed. This COVID-19 stuff is very stressful and I’m trying to think and remain positive that I will be able to have the wedding of my dreams next spring. We are also looking to buy a house too in the midst of all this - I’m just hoping that here in NJ we don’t have a bad flu season and we can continue to be SMART about this virus. We’ve been blessed that our state has taken this seriously because of our lockdown for 3+ months but it’s still scary to know that when winter comes, the possibility of something coming back mixed with flu could happen. I’m just continuing to plan as normal - it saddens me to say it, but if we have to, I will still get married in our wedding day and postpone the ceremony until later. ♥️

View Quoted Comment Awww....that's really sweet❤

Does anyone just not feel comfortable buying plane tickets for their honeymoons to other countries? I wanted to go to jamaica but I just am very hesitant. I don't want to lose money or go if its unsafe. We were looking to go around 11/14/20 but who knows what the numbers will look like.

View Quoted Comment Exactly! We’ve been dealt a bad hand and we have to make the best of it, whatever that means for everyone individually. I am so happy to hear that you are able to proceed. I hope you have the most beautiful day and congratulations! 🍾

Yes nervous. Since they shut down the venues in Miami.

Just take every day as they come

View Quoted Comment It can be unnerving. Just wait for the honeymoon next year.

View Quoted Comment I totally agree and understand!!! Our wedding was supposed to be May 9th and we moved it to September 12th. We’re in NJ and there’s no sign of this improving at all. I’m so devastated and don’t feel like having a wedding either. We’re going to get married in the 12th no matter what’s since we’re already pushed it back once but I’m just so heart broken.

View Quoted Comment I’m definitely refraining from international travel right now. We were planning a 1-week honeymoon cruise with just FH and I, followed by a week in Jamaica with 2 other couples (my dad is from there and we built a vacay house). We’ve since postponed to October 2021. But even if we hadn’t, both of those honeymoon plans were a “no way” 😬
