What is your thought process right now? Are you pushing the wedding back? Are you still going ahead with everything until told otherwise?
I would love to hear from all of you and how you're handling this trying time.

    That’s awesome Jackie! Thanks for bringing the positive vibes. Even though you have a plan B, I hope you get your Plan A lol 🥰 Also, my shower got postponed until May 17th, so I’m in that boat with you. At least we have time now to just forget about it and ride out the storm!


    Best wishes!

    That’s what I was thinking too! I’m doing lilac and if I had to reschedule, I’m sure everyone would understand but that’s not a fall color lol.

    We’re figuring all of that now. The Marriott has given us three dates. We should know by next week!

    Thank you! Even if things go differently that is okay as long as we get married! I think by May it will be fine! We have to go somewhere else for our honeymoon sadly.

    My wedding is 5/30/2020 and my venue is not canceling anything as of yet. They seem hopeful that we will be able to have it and i'm really just praying that this will be long over by then. My shower however, did have to be canceled, it was this Sunday. I am disappointed but have a tentative date for it, Friday May 8th. There were no sunday mornings available but I figured for a rescheduled shower in the midst of this craziness, a friday night, happy hour style shower could be appropriate. This sucks so bad for all of us, but it helps knowing that i'm not the only one dealing with this. Good luck to everyone!

    I also rescheduled one of my showers to a Friday evening! It actually sounds fun, no one has to work the next day! Thinking of you and your fiancé! Hope everything turns out 🥰

    Really?! I have never been to an evening shower but it seems like a lot more girls are doing this, and ive talked with some of my friends who have been to them and they all had really great feedback! At this point, the shower doesn't seem like a big deal at all compared to the wedding and right now that's my main concern. Just praying that things are better soon!! Thank you for thinking of me, thinking of you and and all the other brides dealing with this heartache too!

    Hi Everyone,

    To be on the safe side, we have postponed our June 20, 2020 wedding to September 5, 2020. It sucks because that date was very special to us (it's the day we began dating), invitations need to be reordered and reprinted, and I'm a teacher so a summer wedding was ideal. However, I'd rather my guests be comfortable and having fun than being paranoid and uneasy during our event! Lol. Good Luck!

    Your story is very similar to mine, wedding is in the summer, got laid off and still live at home with my parents and need a Job ASAP to finish paying for the wedding ! All I can say is hang in there God is good, I'm praying that everything will go back to normal soon.

    Our date is June 6! We are canceling one, if not both of our showers coming up in April. My family’s shower is April 5 and was booked at a Mexican restaurant that closed down for the time being and they can’t even cater for us. Our other one with his family is at a park district and will probably have to be canceled as well. I’m so sad and disappointed but I understand it’s the right thing to do. Both my stepmom and his mom have back up plans for the showers that I don’t like, but they are literally two of the only options we have with the restrictions being around 10 people.

    As for the wedding, it’s still on and being planned like nothing has changed. I’m really trying to not think or stress about it. I’m not changing anything until I’m told otherwise. We are waiting until like mid/late April before we need to make any big decisions

    I’m learning to start letting go of my 15 year old vision and plans for my wedding, which includes bridal showers and other celebrations. I absolutely know that the most important thing about the wedding day is not the beautiful flowers or the fun photo booth or even the chapel we’ve planned for but it’s about my FH and I coming together. But, it’s still hard to let go of that without a doubt.
    I have faith that it will all work out. I don’t know how that’s going to happen but I know it will all be fine. Try to stay positive and don’t stress.

    Hi there!


    My wedding date is June 27th, and my shower date was originally April 4th as well. We decided to postpone the shower last week, as we wanted to make sure that everyone would be able to enjoy themselves to their fullest without worrying about virus spread.
    I am anxious about my wedding date and honeymoon. As of now our venue has assured us that there is no need to cancel, but with everything getting worse and worse by the day, I don’t know if I should keep my date or not. Things have continued to get postponed - from my dress fitting to my tastings, so I don’t know if I will have enough time to complete everything on my task list in the time between the quarantine being lifted and the wedding.
    I’m thinking of postponing my honeymoon regardless. We were booked to go to Spain and France for a few weeks in July but now, I’m not so sure. What are you June brides deciding? I’d love to know!

    Hi Noor!


    We were also set to go to Spain in addition to Italy and Portugal in late June. Working on cancelling that but it doesn’t appear we will get a refund so just holding onto until closer and hope we can get some sort of credit.
    They just put CA on a shelter in place, June 6 looks less likely every single day 😔.

    I’m a June 19th bride and I’m getting a little antsy. We aren’t canceling anything yet, but we are taking a wait and see approach. We are also holding off on buying things and hiring any more vendors. Ironically, one of the vendors I originally wanted who was booked for my date called to tell me she had a cancellation.


    As for the shower, what if instead of canceling you broke it up in 2 times (or 2 mini showers lol) to minimize the risk. For example, we are considering for my shower reserving the first hour for grandparents, parents with babies, and other higher risk attendees, and the next hour for all other guests. That way we still get to see everyone and celebrate, but guests are exposed to only half the people. My mom also pointed out that doing it this way would help cut down on any food line situations where people would be standing close together.
