Hi everyone,
July 18, 2020 bride here! Well...as of now. We are getting married on Long Island and feel the situation hasn't improved enough to feel confident about a 150-person gathering in July. We called our venue yesterday to hold a back-up date...and the earliest they had was August 2021!! I couldn't believe it! I even took a couple hours to call my vendors about the venue's first available date and by the time I called the venue back, that date was gone. So we took the next available one without any more hesitation. Luckily, our vendors all had the date open.
I think I ended up in the midst of a rescheduling marathon from all their summer 2020 brides, plus all the weddings already scheduled for summer 2021. Can't help but think that maybe if we acted sooner, we wouldn't possibly have to wait an extra 13 months to have the wedding we planned. On the other hand, I am glad we acted now, because we were originally going to wait until mid-May to make the call. But then our DJ emailed us and said all his summer brides were starting to postpone and one of my fellow July wedding friends postponed. Did anyone else end up with a postponement date this far out? How are you feeling about it?
This whole situation has made us both feel very sad and helpless. I have been reading other discussions on here and it's nice to know we are not alone. Hope you're all staying safe and well!
