June 2021 brides

Hi everyone! I am getting married June 25th and super nervous!

I had no idea of the restrictions. I post poned mine until june of next year i hope we are in a better place 😅😅😅😅😅

I feel the same

Oh wow. I didn't hear these restrictions when we visited my venue here in Oregon. I'm assuming that's not a thing here or surely she would have told us. It's hard enough planning a COVID wedding without the restrictions. I was looking at June hoping that things would have calmed by then but who knows? At the moment I wouldn't want my family flying down from Texas and if things are the same in June then I would need to postpone the wedding and possibly elope (which is sounding better and better although my MIL wouldn't like it one bit lol)!

View Quoted Comment I would strongly recommend specifically asking the venue upfront what type of restrictions will be in place. More than likely, they will not tell you upfront. If I were you I would also check out your state mandates and guidelines to make sure that you know all of your current state rules about weddings. Some vendors might even put restrictions in place that aren’t necessarily state restrictions, so just a heads up for that as well. Such an uncertain time. I guess all we can do is cross our fingers. Good luck

View Quoted Comment This is very true.? Yeah, after seeing this thread I’ll definitely be asking more questions!

Very nervous, we are getting married in Myrtle Beach hopefully the restrictions wont be too excessive and we can still enjoy our day.

We already postponed from September 2020 to June 2021. Thankfully we were able to get married in front of some friends and family over Zoom in June this year (we’re in NYC), but now we are getting nervous that even June 2021 is going to be an issue. For us it’s all about a celebration and party with the people we love next year. If we have to postpone again I think we are going to try to get our money back and work with the same vendors for a vow renewal event for our 5th anniversary. Until then, I guess my wedding dress will just sit under my bed.

I will track the data. I am a physician so I feel things will not be as restricted as it currently is because I believe the virus will be more so under control. This virus is not going anywhere for a long time. We are getting married in Playa del Carmen so they have fewer restrictions on the resorts, even currently.

What state are you marrying in? I didn't know about those restrictions...guess I will be asking my wedding planner about that at my venue.

Wow I haven’t seen those kind of restrictions in my state but I’m still feeling nervous about June. I don’t knit what to expect and need some answers by March because that’s when u want to send invitations.. idk.. I do have a plan b.. just get married and have a party later🤷🏽‍♀️

View Quoted Comment Rhode Island and yes I think that is a good idea that you’re asking them upfront. Again, I did sign my contract a few weeks before this whole Covid thing even happened, but the restrictions that were said on the news was only about 10% of the actual individual mandates for weddings. Hence why I’m trying to stress to all brides that even though you might only hear about masks and less people at tables on the news, it might be much worse. I’m just upset that my venue didn’t call me sooner to let me know about the restrictions that were being put in place. Obviously no one could’ve ever guessed this was going to happen when we signed the contract, but I signed my contract a year and a half before our wedding date. Now that we are getting into the nitty-gritty of planning my event planner tells me less than a year before That oh by the way there’s no dancing and everyone has to remain seated for six hours. LOL, we’re trying to take one step at a time here, but I feel like it’s just the luck of the cards. If you think about it, we as brides and grooms fall into that .1 nano percent of time where weddings are not safe. LOL there has been nothing since the history of weddings that has managed to shut down all weddings. I have faith that all of us will still be able to have all of our weddings and I know that they will still be great, but it’s just amazing to think that we all fall into that small speck of time that has never ever happened before in the existence of life

View Quoted Comment Yeah, and that’s another thing too, like I feel like a lot of people that I talk to keeps saying to me, oh don’t worry about it you have plenty of time, but like you said there’s certain timelines and deadlines that myself as well as others need to know. I just feel like people who aren’t planning weddings right now don’t get it. They don’t get the family members who would need to get tickets in advance that we have to consider, also deadlines like invitations, we also have our save the dates that we sent out and spent money on, and our favors that have our wedding date on it. Also just do dates as far as money and payments go. I just feel like people who aren’t getting married right now just don’t get it. That’s why I love coming on here because I feel like aside from my fiancé, this is the only place that actually understands the struggles

View Quoted Comment I’m in Ohio too! And have the same perspective on this. Other weddings in Ohio have been okay through this year but we’ll see how things progress next year :/

TRUMP 2020 all restrictions will go away in January 🇺🇸

I’m getting married in NY on June 26th 2021 and I have to say I’m very hopeful that the restrictions will be lifted by then. I’ve been planning as if this will get pulled off without a hitch. If for some reason this pandemic is still around, I will postpone but I’m not gonna panic at least not yet. I can’t freak out over what I can’t control. I have my days where I get a little worried but I’m praying that things loosen up by the beginning of next year. 🙏🏼 It’s definitely harder to plan with this much uncertainty. I must say..

View Quoted Comment Did you see the newly announced restrictions this week? It’s not clear to me what the cap is now for outdoor weddings in RI..

View Quoted Comment

I am not going to stress about any restrictions until end of April. so much is going to change between now and then with the winter season. Last year, by mid-June the outdoor limit was raised to 100. I am confident that things will get worse this winter but by June it will look similar to this past summer.

That said, below is the new restrictions effective on Sunday:

• Catered events: The capacity limit for indoor catered events is 25 and for outdoor catered events is 75, with exceptions for previously scheduled weddings. (Effective November 8, 2020)
• https://health.ri.gov/covid/
  

We originally planned a 60-80 person May 2020 wedding in New Hampshire, eloped on our original day, and then postponed our bigger event to June 2021. I'm not confident things will be better then (nor was I back in spring when we made the decision), but none of our vendors would refund our deposits and they wouldn't postpone all the way to 2022 at the time, so it seemed like our only option (either that or forfeit more than $5000 in deposits with no hope of recouping that money or the experience).

Because we had already planned everything and even had invites in the mail already when the pandemic hit, there wasn't really anything left to do but push back the date on all of our original plans. I have done absolutely no extra work beyond our original planning. If there had been additional vendors to book, etc at that time I probably wouldn't have continued to go ahead with it because I really don't feel confident that June 2021 is going to happen, and the process of planning and being disappointed has been super stressful.

We aren't really interested in having a socially distanced and masked wedding, and putting our guests at risk isn't an option either, so if it isn't safe for us to have a more normal interactive event where people hug, dance, eat, and drink together we are going to see if we can postpone again or will likely just cancel. The $5000 in deposits is roughly 20% of our total wedding budget, so spending an additional $20,000 on top of that to have an event that is nothing like what we wanted or planned is just not worth it to us. I'm not very hopeful.

View Quoted Comment You know, I actually haven’t looked at them. But all I remember her saying was that anything that falls under restaurants/catering wouldn’t be affected just yet. But I have no idea what that woman. She makes no sense when she speaks so it’s very difficult to dig through all of the info to find if anything is changed
