June 2020 Weddings Amidst covid Outbreak

View Quoted Comment

My wedding is on June 20th also. I sent out the invites earlier this month. I'm slowly getting RSVP's back each day with everyone saying Yes so far, we also don't have that many people traveling either though.

I would definitely recommend just reaching out to all our your vendors to see what your options are.

I'm trying to stay positive & hopeful that we will be able to get married on June 20th!!

I have a feeling this will go on for some time, but I hope I'm wrong. If it's the government that issues the lockdown, shouldn't venues give a refund? Mass gathering is forbidden, and it's not your fault.

I really wish this ends soon. It's like the whole world stopped.

Shelby, your venue should work with you on this. I have $6500 invested on our venue too, so I got in touch and they said they're not postponing June or July weddings yet, but if they have to, they will work with us. I DO wish they would give us an option NOW. Waiting until the last minute isn't awesome. But in the end, they should work with you. This situation is new and different for everyone, including business owners who don't have policies for something like this.

We're booked for July 18th, so we're doing 2 things...we're moving forward with wedding plans (though I'm not as enthusiastic and really want to postpone) and also coming up with a Plan B. Postponing for this year isn't good enough because my brother, his wife, and several close friends are teachers, so I'm really hoping they let us change it to 2021!

For what it's worth, we had a tiny legal ceremony on our property in the snow last year, and planned for the big wedding for this summer. You can always make it legal in a small and special way, and then party later! All of our guests understand why we did it, and they still have incentive to come!

I'm not a pessimist, I'm a realist. And I'm a nurse in the middle of it. I'm not planning on it getting better any time soon. We aren't even close to reaching a peak yet, but all we can do is be flexible and stay strong!

I am having a lot of guilt planning for such a happy event during this crazy time. Much of my family says to go forth with plans, as many of them are using our wedding as something to look forward to. We are 6/20, thankfully we are having a low key wedding, our DJ and photographer have agreed to work with us on a second date if needed. We have not reached out to our venue, an American Legion, so we are unsure if they would make us pay another deposit for another date. Late June is still so far away, I don't think anyone can predict what will happen by then. I am in CT, we just shut down most non-essential stores. But I was working until Monday and many people who were in my store were the ones who were not keeping their distance or minding their manners (or children). At the end of the day, I want our families to be healthy and safe.

My planning is complete, so just waiting patiently for May to make a decision on what to do. Had a total freak out a couple of days ago and it honestly helped. I was trying to hold my cool when on the inside I was losing my mind. It's too soon to make any rash decisions. I rather wait it out. Hope all is well on your end.

Hi Gabrielle!

I have a friend getting married mid-June and she just postponed her wedding until September to be safe. If I were in your shoes, I would probably do the same thing just in case this gets drawn out even longer. Let's hope not, but better to expect the worst?

Good luck with everything!!

I am right here with you.

Our wedding is planned for June 13, 2020 and while that seems far enough out to not have to postpone - with all the uncertainty and information rapidly changing on a daily basis, I can't help but be overwhelmed with stress and anxiety. I've already had to cancel by bridal shower and am sure my bach is out of the question at this point too.

Here in CA, we have a "Shelter in Place" ordinance in effect through April 19th with the possibility to extend further to May if our situation here does not improve. Our venue has had to cancel and postpone weddings that were planned through April 19th. My heart ACHES for those couples.

Prior to the "Shelter in Place" ordinance taking place, our venue sent us an email stating that if we choose to move our date we will not be charged a "transfer free" but new dates are subject to new pricing if applicable. If we choose to push to 2021 then we will incur their 2021 pricing which has greatly increased.

We are hoping late April will offer more clarity for the future of 2020. I personally hope that the stringent requirements will help slow the spread and allow us to continue our future weddings as planned.

June 20th bride here also! I also have been getting RSVPs saying Yes, but I think a majority of guests are waiting until the end of April/early May to figure out if they're coming or not. We're also waiting until the end of April to make any decisions around postponing, but in the meantime have been in contact with all of our vendors to try and align on a "Plan B" date.

I'm staying hopeful that we will all get married on June 20th! Stay positive and stay healthy ladies!

View Quoted Comment Congratulations🎊 My wedding date is June 20th also, and I haven’t ordered or sent invitations because of the unknown😰 My fiancé and I have discussed the Justice of the Peace as our back up plan & last resort, but we’re waiting until the middle of May to make the final decision.

I think by June this will be mostly gone.

Can I ask what state you're getting married in? I am just trying to get a feel for everything.

6/20/2020❤️ I haven’t started to completely freak out yet, but I’m definitely worried & thinking of a Plan B. I don’t know if we want to do JOP, or just reschedule for a later date😰

We have all of our planning done as well. I need to tie up a few loose ends - pick out suits/tuxes, finalize flower and cake details and pay balances. Thankfully all of our vendors have policies where we pay them the month before and have only paid small transferrable retainers, so we in the event we had to reschedule/postpone we will not be out a ton either.

I have had a small break down and am now pretty at ease. I feel like if we have to reschedule I won't be very disappointed, because I am already expecting it. Staying hopeful but realistic given the circumstances.

Date twins.

I am staying hopeful for 06/20! We are going to see what the next month looks like and make decisions then. Our Plan B is just rescheduling. I had mentioned to my FH that I would like to get married on our date in a small setting if it came to that, since we have already had that date in mind for almost 2 years, but he doesn't like that idea. He wants to do it "right", which was aggravating at first, but now I appreciate it.

I am really hoping so! Thanks for your positivity!

View Quoted Comment Hi Megan! We are getting married in Montana.

I've just posted a lengthy message regarding this issue. I think it would really help you to read it.

All the best,

Well, it happenned. We had to move our date

My state just shut everything down until June 10th. We were scheduled for June 26th. It ended up being necessary for us. My dress alterations were canceled, and my husband hadn't ordered his tux and his appointment to order was canceled. Nothing can be rescheduled until after June 10th, and we have to have something to wear! I was having dental work related to a boating accident and all my appointments were rescheduled until after June. I don't want to risk working on my teeth two weeks beforehand. Keep these little details in mind when you make your decision.


Our date is now June 26th, 2021!

Jessica,

What state do you live in? Our date is June 27th, 2020 - we are going forward however, we may have 10 people vs 100.

View Quoted Comment Hi Robin,
We live in Virginia. We are actually already married, but we haven't celebrated with a wedding celebration yet (pretty common within our military community!). I think already bieng married made it easier for us to push our date back. My heart hurts for the people out there who have to make a choice about getting married, and I hope your wedding can still go on as planned!
