How is everyone dealing with the sadness/disappointment of postponing your wedding?

Mel H, on May 14, 2020 at 3:23 PM Posted in Community Conversations 0 3

Hi Brides!

My FH and I are supposed to get married in August 2020 and while I was trying to stay positive and optimistic, I honestly don't see this COVID situation getting any better. Even if it does, we are worried that our guests will feel uncomfortable attending a large gathering in August.

The good news is that our wedding venue is letting us reserve one date until July 14th, 2020, and we have until then to decide what we want to do. The bad news is that all weekends are booked already for 2021! Even Fridays. So now our wedding will have to be on a Monday-Thursday and end earlier.

I know like most of us out there, I have been waiting for this day for SO long. We have already been engaged for a year and it sucks we can't spend these next few months leading up to our wedding feeling joy and excitement.

For all you ladies who have postponed or are in this same situation, what have you done to get your mind off of the disappointment? I'm trying to look on the bright side of things but I can't help but feeling down about it.

    I started feeling down about it until people I know started passing away. Then I realized having a wedding this year would have a dark cloud and gloom over it. Knowing that we are alive and breathing and remain healthy makes me feel better. Also, reading blogs on wedding wire makes me aware I am not alone and countless brides across the world are in the same boat.

    I ordered a bride box. Miss to Mrs. That helped. It still sucks. It just does. I liked my first box though.


    It's hard to be happy with everything going on... So I've decided to be grateful instead. Smiley heart

    Hi Mel,

    I'm so sorry you are going through this! Have you and your partner discussed holding a smaller, more intimate ceremony in August? Then, you can do a larger reception next year! While it might not feel ideal at the moment, the main goal of getting married is to celebrate the love of you and your partner. I think this is a beautiful way to celebrate!
