July brides going through a hard time?

Hey everyone! Our wedding isn’t until July 25th. I know it’s 3 months away but everyday that goes by and this virus is not getting any better is exhausting.
I cry almost everyday because I can’t control my emotions anymore.
I’m scared. I’m tired. And I’m sure all you guys feel the same way.These past two days have really hit me hard and I feel selfish because you’re wedding day is supposed to be so exciting and obviously right now the wedding is the last thing everyone is thinking about.I feel like it’s been pushed aside and no one is reaching out to me to see how I am doing.My friends haven’t reached out to me.My family has been slightly rude (in my opinion) and keep telling me it’s not a big deal and not to worry about it.To me, it’s is a big deal. Both of our parents have put so much time and money into our big day and I’ve been waiting for 9 years to share this moment with our family and friends. We will be getting married on July 25th no matter what but at this point I just feel like giving up and postponing the full ceremony and reception to a later time so we can fully enjoy ourselves.
Sorry for the rant. I’m having a moment and need someone besides my fiancé to talk to 😂

I am in the exact same boat literally I am July 17 with a back up date of October 25. I am beyond emotional about it and can’t make decisions I poured my heart and soul into this and was so close today I would have been leaving for my bachelorette in Florida and I feel the same way like no one is really checking in on me either. I understand everyone is going through stuff but it would be nice to have some more support this is suppose to be a happy time in our life and it’s been taken from us and we have every right to grieve over this it’s heartbreaking! Trying to switch the dates and get all your vendors is also so hard I haven’t made decisions yet as I’m still monitoring things but it just doesn’t seem like things are going to feel safe. I’m so upset that I wish I could just cancel all of it. All I want to do at this point is wear my dress and have my girls wear theirs get pictures and call it a day I am so beyond drained. I’m just so upset at all the money I would be losing and all the unknown is killing me. I am totally with you on this you have every right to feel this way hang in there and I wish you nothing but the best and pray this passes soon!

This page exists for us to support each other. Especially in this hard time we have. Hugs...

It may not the best year to get married, but I don’t care. I am still happy! I am still excited! I think is how we deal with it. How we as individuals and how each couples work through it.
Look at this as a challenge. Wedding planning is stressful, wedding planning during covid, oh boy... I felt that. However, a marriage.... it’s a whole other level. There is alwaysssss something that comes and go. Sometimes not one problem, sometimes I feel like a dozen problem is being shoved to to our face. This is life.
Keep calm. Accept it. Talk about it. Think of what would make you feel better. Do not let the negative outside “noise” brings you down.
Be strong brides and grooms!!! WE GOT THIS! 💪🏻 🥂

I’m glad to hear I’m not the only one! And it definitely sucks when your friends aren’t checking up on you. I’m glad this little forum keeps up remotely sane 😅 Best of luck to you and your fiancé! May this be over soon so we can all celebrate

Thank you, dear! Your advice was so touching. And I hope you and your fiancé are doing okay during this tough time! This is definitely a test for a lot of couples. On the bright side, I got my fiancé’s wedding band in the mail yesterday and I got so excited I couldn’t contain myself. It made me want to run to the courthouse and get married to him right then 😂

We are doing great. More time together gave us more time for quality time. More cuddles, more communication, etc...

Yay for your rings! I can feel your excitement from here! Hold that mood. Keep the excitement ❤️

I'm also July 25th... sorry you are having a rough time! I'm also experiencing some tough emotions around this whole thing too. I feel selfish to even be considering how this might affect the wedding when there are worse things happening in the world. But, it's ok to feel sad for yourself and for others who might be suffering more. I'm sorry your friends aren't checking in. I don't want to excuse it, but I really do think people aren't thinking 3 months into the future at this point. My MOH only knows that I am feeling anxious and worried because I told her - she is otherwise a lovely and compassionate person. I think a lot of people are just trying to take it day by day to get through this. Is there someone you can reach out to that you can share your feelings with? Best of luck to you.

I'm feeling much of the same. Our wedding is July 31st. We're going ahead with the date regardless- I realized what makes the day special isn't the party, it's the person I'm marrying- but I'm so upset that this may mean that important people can't be there. If we have to, we'll move the reception to another time. I'll just feel horrible if my girls have all purchased their dresses and ended up wasting the money if they don't get to use them.
