June 2020 brides: freaking out?

My wedding is June 28th in Brentwood Tennessee and as of now my fiancé and I are feeling very conflicted about whether or not to postpone. Everything has changed so much in the past few weeks so we’re trying to wait and see how things continue to change. I guess it makes me hopeful to see that so many couples with June wedding are still holding out hope like us! Hoping for our sake and the country’s sake that things are better by June!

Our date is June 13th! Right now, we are optimistic that things will get better by then. However, I just met with our event coordinator to come up with a back up plan just in case!! I think it's too early to tell. We are going to wait until mid-May to make our final decision on whether to postpone or not. Fingers crossed it won't come to that!

My dates are the exact same! We are being hopeful that things will get better by June, so we are waiting until mid-May to make our final decision on whether to postpone or not. Hoping for the best! However, I did come up with a back up plan (later date) just in case! As far as bachelorette and bridal shower, everything is still scheduled as planned as far as I know. My MH/sister is handling those events, so I'm pretty much just going with whatever she decides. Hope all goes well for you!

June 20, 2020 brides, when were you going to decide by? I was thinking by the end of April and sending the invites by first week of May. We have an alternate date set for May 2021, but really don't want to wait that long!

Same here! I know of people who literally just went to court house, others did an online stream of their wedding and only had a few close loved ones, and others just decided to push their date up and had a small gathering before the request of no gathering at all.

My first bridal shower is April 25th and my second bridal shower is May 16th.... It's still too early to decide but it's still right around the corner.

I pray that we'll be okay by then! But I am still hoping to push my April shower back because I did always think it was a little early before my wedding.

We are getting married June 20th. I am panicking a bit, but trying to stay hopefully optimistic. At this point our venue hasn't called to see if we wanted to postpone, so we are still forging ahead; mostly because we don't have a Plan B in place. I might have a hard time getting my dress altered with all this as well. My appointment is for tomorrow, but all businesses are shut down now until April 30. That doesn't leave a whole lot of time to be squeezed in for fittings. Praying for all that this passes soon.

June 19th bride here. Not only is our venue concerned but our guests are as well. I do think our wedding will happen that day but not for the amount of people that we have invited. I don't think they are just going to let things go back to normal. I believe there will be restrictions on social gatherings. I also received a phone call from a girlfriend that she was laid off. This is above all of us and I think we are rethinking everything. At what cost are you going to have people still join you?

I think we will have a more intimate gathering of immediate family in june for the ceremony and schedule a reception for 2021.

Hi there, so sorry you are going through this too, you're not alone! I've just posted a lengthy message regarding this issue. I think it would really help you to read it.

All the best,

View Quoted Comment Date twin here! I am thinking of making a final decision in May when the restriction period is supposed to end. I still think sending invitations around then will still be plenty of time. I am also going to contact my venue and try to come up with a backup plan but will probably do a Friday or Sunday wedding because I do not want to wait until next year. Best of luck to you during this time of uncertainty!

We postponed our wedding, TWICE! Our original date was April 25,2020 (the most perfect date) in Savannah, GA. We postponed two weeks ago to June 20th and no one felt comfortable with that date and today we postponed to Sept 19. We feel much better and pray a hurricane doesn’t come because then I might just lose it 😭

I postponed my June 7th wedding and changed it to August 7th. The governor of Virginia just issued a stay at home order until June 10th, so my fiances entire family might not have been able to come to Florida in June. Praying that I don't have to postpone again. But now I have hurricanes to worry about too!

View Quoted Comment Girl I am so with you on this! I’m July 17 and picked summer for a reason I am not a fan of the cold so summer was the only option for me!! So I totally hear ya on this!!

View Quoted Comment Oh no! Are you thinking of postponing? I picked a backup date of August 7, which will most likely be my new date. I really hope that by then, I can have my wedding I would probably do the shower the weekend before and my bachelorette 2 weeks before that wedding date. I don’t think I would want to have any events in June at all. So stressful not knowing what’s going to happen!

View Quoted Comment I have a back up date just in case of aug 21 not sure what will happen with my shower I’m ok with having my bach after the wedding because I really want all my girls to be there and the dates prior to the wedding weren’t working for everyone

We were going to get married on 6.6.20 but today we postponed to 6.5.21 for the safety of our guests since most of them were flying in. We just didn’t think this year seemed right for a weeding for us, even if the virus starts to slow down in the summer, a lot of people would be affected by it financially afterward and didn’t want this for our guests by forcing them to be there. Next year will be better and now I’m stress free and can calmly plan for a bigger wedding next year!

View Quoted Comment I am also June 20 and I gave us a deadline of Mat 1 to make a decision. I think that's enough time and am really hoping things are better by then.

View Quoted Comment We are June 19th and are doing the same - trying to just ride it out until May 1st before deciding!

I'm also June 13 in Jersey. I am being very hopeful and so is my venue. I don't want to jump the gun but I am asking my venue about open dates. Right now they are only worried about the March and April weddings. So we will see!

We are June 27 2020 in Philadelphia - and have yet to make a decision. Over 60% of our guests are flying in from the West Coast, UK or Australia. My partner is Australian and his parents don't think they will be able / comfortable traveling for another 1+ year (they suggested Autumn 2021)! I really don't want to wait another year to be honest. We are debating doing a small wedding now -and a big party later - but it feels like a lot of money and work to do it twice. However most importantly, we want our families to be safe and healthy - but it is so important to us to have our immediate families there at a minimum. Sending lots of love to other June brides in this predicament

View Quoted Comment I've since started to think waiting until May may be too late to make a decision. I'm worried that if we wait that long, any potential dates we'd like to reschedule to could be booked. We now want to decide by next week so we at least have some control over the possible new date.
