July 2020 Weddings

I was Friday 7/17/20 in Albany NY with a planned Hawaii honeymoon right after. Yesterday we made the decision to postpone.


We waited weeks to see if venue would have a Friday or Saturday open, but still none until 11/2021. We settled on Thursday 12/17/20. Hawaii prices are SO high the months that follow December, so we needed a new plan.
Given we are worried about December getting postponed if the potential second wave looks like this, we decided to get married on our honeymoon and just adjust those dates to get married on our original day.
Then last weekend our we realized we needed to postpone Hawaii when it extended the mandatory 14 day quarantine for travelers through June. We couldn’t wait and see, we are OVER wondering what if. Now we will go in September and get married.
We are still pretty nervous 12/17/20 may get postponed again, or even Hawaii, but we’re hoping we just get married on one of those days. If either fall apart, we will re-evaluate then.
Now I’m looking for a Hawaii wedding dress, designed affordable save the dates with a free Canva trial, and am liking that we will save $ having a Thursday wedding. This is getting fun again!

We are July 25th in Houston Texas and are moving forward. Got our new invites in this week and are sending them out over the weekend.

View Quoted Comment Hi! We are doing our 7/26 wedding in NY, but it will be just a ceremony and then dinner with about 30 people I am happy with this. Especially since all our deposits will pretty much cover everything

I think everything will be okay by then. I am getting married July 18, 2020 with about 100 guest and I don't plan on changing.

View Quoted Comment That was my date: good luck

Thanks! You too.

View Quoted Comment My son's wedding is July 18th and we have decided to just go with it. We dont want to go thru it again and we could reschedule for fall but there could be another round by then who knows? Trying to have some faith!

View Quoted Comment How do you feel about no dancing part?

View Quoted Comment We're hoping that it'll change by July but if not, we'll just try to keep people entertained maybe do some extra bride and groom games or something. We can still have music and we have a caricature artist and our venue has a fire pit with swings around it. It might end sooner? But I really don't want to postpone and at this point I don't know if venue would let us since Ohio allows receptions now.

View Quoted Comment We are trying to come up with some other entertainment ideas, bride/ groom games etc. Our venue has firepits and cornhole.

View Quoted Comment We are kinda locked into the date because venue is booked and if we cancel we lose all we paid.

My wedding is scheduled for July 19, 2020. However, we have decided to have a quick wedding with our kids and our parents and our pastor on June 27, 2020. . We just wanted to get married and not put it off any longer. Then, we will have a nice ceremony sometime next year and take our honeymoon then as well.

Hi Jessica,

My date was July 19, 2020, with 150 guests. My venue advised me that we would not be able to have that many people. The venue stated we could have 10 guests only with 2 being their staff members. In addition, she stated they would know more information on June 26, 2020. My wedding is July 19, 2020, and I still have not had my alteration to my dress. Therefore, we decided to change our date to June 27, 2020. Then, we will have our ceremony sometime next year. We just wanted to get married ASAP. I am tired, sad, and a little depressed. This is my first wedding I have waited 45 years for this special day and it is not what I wanted but I know that GOD's PLAN IS NOT MY PLAN.

View Quoted Comment We just met with our venue. We're still allowed to invite our 200 and they've talked with the Ohio Department of Health and their table set up is fine (tables just need to be 6 ft apart). They said that dancing is allowed but to try to keep it so that those who sit together at a table are the ones dancing together (lol) but they were also advised to do as much outside as possible, so they'll be adding a dance floor outside and they're going to serve some of the alcohol outside immediately following the ceremony until everyone gets settled with a drink.

View Quoted Comment Hi Katina,


I am so sorry to hear that this crazy virus stole your special day too! Especially given how long you have waited. I totally understand the feelings of being sad, tired, stressed and disappointed. I got to a point where I wanted to throw my hands up and skip a wedding all together, because at that moment amidst all the anger and sadness, it seemed liked it might be easier to handle. Although changing the date wasn’t an easy decision, I’m glad we both found ways to still make things happen, even if they are a little bit different than we had hoped. I couldn’t agree more that God has a different plan, and I’m doing my best to trust it and know that things will work out the way they’re supposed to eventually! Lots of love and support to you and yours - hang in there 💛

View Quoted Comment ❤️❤️❤️ thank you and I pray your day is AMAZING ❤️❤️

View Quoted Comment Hi Katina,


I’m so sorry to hear that your wedding plans are being disrupted. However, the silver lining is that you’re still marrying your best friend! And that’s what marriage is all about would you mind sharing what state you’re in? I’m in NY with a wedding date of July 25th and I’m wondering if the same would potentially apply to me. I’m okay with not having the wedding as we intended, i just want some answers so we can move forward!
Thanks so much and best of luck!

View Quoted Comment Hi Jennifer,


I’m in North Carolina. Our governor will be announcing another update June 25, 2020, but my wedding date is July 19th. I still need alterations to my wedding dress, so there is no way I could get married on my original date😌

View Quoted Comment Ugh I’m Soo sorry I’m getting married on September 4th in Lake Lure Nc my wedding is out doors so we are still hopeful especially cause in August they are planning to hold the convention in Charlotte! I’m so sorry you had to change your plan!! We postponed ours already once our original date was May 24 last Sunday !! I wish you the best of luck !!

We made the final decision over the weekend to postpone. I was holding out hope that all would be okay by our date. Then I found out that nursing home in our area will not open up our allow residents to leave until possibly sometime in August. My mom is in a nursing home and there's no easy I'm doing this without her. So we're planning now for June 26, 2021. It has to be in the summer, since we only get his kids then. I'm sad, but it is what it is. Everything is done and paid for, now we just get to relax for the next year.
