I’m at a loss

Shelby, on May 7, 2020 at 3:29 PM Posted in Community Conversations 0 25
I have no clue what to do. My wedding is June 20th of this year (next month) and our venue contacted us 3 days ago asking for more money to enforce the 6foot rule so we canceled.
The court house is only doing weddings via zoom and our parents do not approve of that.
We do have the option to get married in an open field at the park but the park does not allow an actual ceremony set up. Our wedding date is greatly important to us so we don’t want to change it.I dont know what to do at this point.😩

    If the wedding day is most important than get married in the open field! You can always have the decorated done up ceremony/reception later on

    If it were me personally I would do the courthouse wedding on zoom because I don’t let my parents decide my major life decisions. Plus it’s not your fault everything is closed right now. But I think the open field will be wonderful too. You don’t need all the decorations, it’ll be beautiful.

    Agreed!! Especially with everything going on. This isn’t about what your parents want or approve of, this is your day!! Do what you want😊

    I think an open field could actually be really romantic! The most important thing is getting married and it sounds like you can still make that happen.

    Do what makes you and your fiance happy. This isn't about your parents since they already had their wedding. You can always have a vow renewal party afterward when things open up and are able to invite guests you want to celebrate with.

    I would suggest for now do the open field and make the best out of that until you guys are able to have the actual wedding you want and which state are you in?
    Good luck

    I would encourage you to do what’s most aligned with your interests and values. Zoom and open field could both be sufficient options for now, followed by a larger celebration in the future.

    What if you did the open field and had the guests hold the decorations? Like the ladies hold flowers, guys hold streamers and/or balloons, something like that? Just a thought

    Can you see about some decor for the open field? I wouldn’t do court house on zoom. My FH and I agree we aren’t getting married without his parents PRESENT.

    I think if your wedding date is super important, then maybe go with the open field (: are you allowed to have any type of decor? Like some sort of arch or something? What about someone's back yard or even a state park?

    At this point, it's all about what you and your fiance want and your parents should respect that. Honestly, their approval is a little silly considering you are getting married. They may not like the way the ceremony is taking place but this isn't exactly your dream scenario. If your heart is set on getting married in June the only person stopping you, is you.

    Do you have friend or family that have a large backyard, field or business place you could pretty up? If not you might be able to get a friend to marry you and celebrate on your street if you have someone live on a cultasac, cross fingers your neighbors are good sports and no cops show. Wow, saying that makes it almost like prohibition!

    If you date is that important to y’all, then speak to the parents. What is it exactly they don’t approve of? You can get married through zoom and in the near future have your wedding 😊
    I wish you the best of luck 💗

    Just out of curiosity what was the venue going to do do enforce 6ft distance between people?? How much were they going to charge for this ?? I mean I feel if they want to get paid at all they should have just done the distancing free ! But what was it they were going to do?

    I would do the open field -/ it might not seem the most romantic to you right now, but I bet once you’re getting to finally marry your best friend nothing else will really matter ☺️💕

    They were going to have police enforce the 6ft rule! (The 6ft rule did not include bride and groom ONLY) -meaning no father daughter dance,etc.
    We only had 65 guest, so we were going to have 7 tables for the reception.. due to the 6ft rule they were going to make us do 16 tables, 4 people at each table. We were going to have to pay for the extra 9 tables, plus we would have to buy more table clothes, runners, and extra centerpieces and it was just way over our budget to do this.
