Unfortunately had to change my wedding date to May 1st 2021. Still trying to be ok with it but I’d rather have a happy healthy wedding then a wedding with guests wearing masks.

You'll have a harder time finding a new date. Also, consider all the appointments you'll need before hand. Fittings, hair, make up, venue, chapel or location of ceremony etc. For me I just couldn't pull all of that together in such a short time. Also your guests have to figure things out too.
You might be able to do it. But I'd think hard about the logistics.

Yea my wedding was supposed to be June 27th 2020 and if this helps you make a decision at all, it’s been so much less stress since I changed it. I was so worried and breaking out over the stress of trying to have a wedding during this. A lot of family from other states was not going to make it and do you really want masks in your wedding pictures? I didn’t. It feels so right now that I changed the date and I can relax and know that in a year it will be fine and I will have the wedding I dreamed of without worry. You want to remember this special day as perfect. You don’t want to remember the virus as a part of it. Hope your day is magical!! - Kaytee

Hi Nicole, I am doing the same. We are holding onto hope this will pass. My showers and my groom’s bachelor party will likely take place after wedding in the summer. We just received a wedding invitation for May 23. Feel you girl!! 🙏🏻💜

Hi Robin! We are hoping to keep June 27 and vendors are also hopeful. I ordered our invitations. My florist is unfortunately limited due to virus on sending mock up florals, however she is very talented and I believe in her. How are your plans coming? 🌹
We decided to move our wedding to next June 26, 2021, instead of June 27 this year. Most of my family is scattered across the country, and I couldn’t risk them not being able to fly out for the wedding. At the end of the day, we decided that we still want the perfect day that we have dreamed about, even if it’s a year from now.
We also made the decision to move our wedding to June 26, 2021. There were just too many people traveling from all over the place and we did not want to risk the day not going the way we imagined. I feel better now that we decided to do this too and I don’t have to worry as much during this already crazy time.
You have to do what is best for you, everyone's circumstances are different. I hope it all works out for you!

We made the difficult decision of postponing until November 21. We just cannot see the SIP lifting before then and don’t want to run the risk since fittings aren’t done and there is still so much to do. 😭
"IHME’s model suggests that if social distancing is maintained, the end of the current COVID-19 wave in the U.S. could come in early June. Total projected deaths will slow to a trickle in late May and early June, and June 14 is the first day zero deaths are expected. In Missouri, the first day with zero predicted deaths is May 30; the corresponding date for Illinois is as early as May 3.
However, if social distancing measures are relaxed too soon, IHME warns a second wave of the epidemic could follow. According to the institute’s website, “a substantial proportion” of the U.S. population will likely still be susceptible to COVID-19 after the first wave is over. IHME suggests that “maintaining some social distancing measures could be supplemented or replaced by nationwide efforts such as mass screening, contact tracing and selective quarantine.”
In short, it will probably be a long time before life can — or should — go back to normal."
My fiance and I made the tough decision this morning to have a VERY small ceremony in his parents backyard with them, us, 2 witnesses, photographer and officiant. We will have a HUGE blowout party and renew our vows on our 1 year anniversary.

Hello again my fellow June 27th Brides!
I'm sad to report that I am no longer a June 27th Bride as we officially moved our wedding to December 12th, 2020. We have wonderful vendors who were able to move our date with no further fee's or headaches and we couldn't be happier to have chosen them all. We were also both able to reschedule our Bachelor and Bachelorette parties as well as my Bridal shower to the fall. I was so looking forward to a sunny and warm June wedding but things happen for a reason! Good luck to you all and I look forward to seeing your BAM's whether you get married on June 27th or another date! Cheers and Happy Planning!
I think we’re gonna pull the trigger next week and postpone until June 2021 :-( We just know that if we keep it, our guests will probably feel uncomfortable going to a large wedding. Better safe than sorry.. but hey- another year to plan and have fun festivities! Something to look forward to. (Trying to look on the bright side of things)

You're not dumb at all! I completely understand and it's very sad! I would just think about that even if businesses are opened up, people may feel scared to travel or gather in large groups, so your guests may have to make a tough choice on whether to come or not. Also, these are going to be hard times financially.
