I hope I’m not the only one with this problem lol. I’m not trying to be rude I’m just sad/upset on how things are going. My fiancé and I are suppose to get married on June 13, 2020. We love that date it means a lot to us! It’s our favorite number because that’s the number he proposed to me. It’s so special to us! Our venue is giving us a hard time about it and wants us to move to a different date, which I hate because it doesn’t mean anything to us. I totally understand there side. We are ALL struggling on this crazy time! I own a business myself so I TOTALLY get it but it just seems like they don’t care on my part of the story at all and it’s making me sad and uncomfortable! And they haven't been good about contacting us back at all. I feel like we are on the bottom of the barrel I don’t like that feeling🙁 I know they have A LOT GOING ON for rescheduling everything and trying to make everyone happy but they are making me feel like crap. Why can’t I just marry my best friend on our special date?😩

Yes, it's unfortunate for so many people who can't get married on the dates they originally scheduled. Every venue and vendor is struggling right now, with loss of business, the stress of everyone trying to reschedule at once, and the constantly changing rules of what's allowed and what's advisable.
I wouldn't expect any venue to prioritize your "story" over all the juggling they are doing right now with all of the couples in the same predicament as you. And if June 13th weddings are not appropriate/recommended in your state, then you cannot take this rescheduling personally.
Don't forget that no matter what date you get married, THAT date will be special. The marriage is what's important, not any one particular detail about your wedding day.

Hi Christina! If your wedding date is the most important thing to you right now then I'd look into some backup plans. I'm not sure where you're located or what the local mandates are, but your venue legally has to abide by government restrictions and consider the health of their staff as well.
Have you started thinking about a back up plan for a private ceremony? I'd see if there are courthouses doing services locally, or pop-up wedding services, or if you have a friend or family member who is ordained help you out!

Thanks for the response! We are thinking of either going to town hall or city hall or doing in my back yard at my farm!

I second getting married on that day anyway and having the formal ceremony at a later date where you do a vow renewal of sorts. I know a lot of brides who did the same thing.

Most places don't have a choice so I wouldn't necessarily take it as them not caring. Tons of weddings have had to be cancelled because wedding venues are considered non-essential businesses. Since this day is important to you and your fiance, I would make alternate arrangements. Once everything is safe again, have another wedding with everyone included it that's something you would want.

My date was special to me as well so I postponed for next 07/11/21 even though it’s a Sunday 😢. We’re just going to do a small ceremony with just parents this year. I’ve already been engaged for 4 years so it’s decided lol

If your date is super important to you both, I’d elope then have a vow renewal on another date the venue you love has open!
