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.

    We unfortunately could not afford a videographer. That's a great idea, though! Thank you.

    That’s funny because my wedding was originally on 4/4/20 and I just rescheduled it for 6/6/20. I think we should be fine by then. It is two and a half months away! And it might not be completely gone but hopefully we will be at the end of it. My bachelorette party was supposed to be this weekend and now I am cancelling it because all bars/restaurants/casinos and spas are closed! Nothing to do but stay home and drink wine lol. We were going to stick with our date but a lot of ppl were cancelling .. not really the young people- they didn’t care, but older family friends ... all the ppl traveling - and then I would not have had any place to get my nails done!! My hair and makeup person said she wouldn’t do the rest of the bridal party anymore and I had to go to her! It was just better to reschedule in the end... and even then not everyone will be able to come... but you can’t make everyone happy- you have to do what’s best for you. I say don’t stress about it yet - June is a good month- I’m not rescheduling mine again!!

    Thankfully all of our vendors were able to move to the new date. We moved it to September. And it has made things slightly easier and have our guests a piece of mind.

    Same for me!! My wedding is June 28th and my wedding shower is June 6. Our venue closed for 2 weeks. I keep thinking about the wedding but everyone says it’s too soon to postpone. I’m also worried that even if we get the okay to continue, the people we want to be there the most might decide not go anyway. 😭

    My wedding date is/was May 23rd and shower April 19th...here in Arkansas. I’ve just discussed with the hosts that I want to post pone the shower b/c I’m post poning the wedding....but a great idea was a virtual shower and alter the shower to just a “gift card” shower that they can mail or email it to you....I liked the idea but I’m behind on wedding plans and ok with postponing it all b/c financially I can pull out w/o major loss atm..

    I think it’s a smart idea to have your bachelorette so close to the wedding, it gives you more time to assess the situation! Keep your head up & good luck!

    I’m getting married 6/20/20 and I don’t plan to postpone because a lot can change in a few months even a few weeks. My bridal shower was supposed to be next weekend (3/28) but my MOH pushed it back to (4/25) because we think it should all start to calm down by then. And I’m still planning on having my bachelorette party on (5/15-17). Good luck! I would be really surprised if it doesn’t calm down by then.

    I am getting married on June 12th and my bridal shower of roughly 40 people in New York was on April 4th however, we postponed it until May 16th. Shower guests thanked us for postponing it to a later date. Hopefully this helps.

    I am sorry to hear bout this. Hopefully there will be a smooth transition but I cant speak for what may happen or not. Just pray and keep a positive outlook on thing's. If nothing alse you may can move thing's ahead. Talk to your Wedding planner and get some ideas.

    Our Wedding was scheduled for 3/27/2020, our venue postponed it 10 days prior. We originally were going to choose 5/22/2020 but given the fact that people in our state (Pennsylvania) are not adhering to the guidelines and social distancing, 8 weeks out isn't even feasible. This is going to get a lot worse before better. We just rescheduled our date for July 17th.

    I would definitely contact your venue and put a hold on another date before other brides do so.

    Hi guys! Our day is set for June 13, 2020 as of now. We don’t have any plans to cancel at this time, but I am putting a backup plan in place. We are supposed to be getting married in a church, but in the event this can’t happen, my sister (MOH) is becoming an ordained minister so we can get married that day no matter what. If that’s the case, we will live stream the wedding which will be just a small group of family and our closest friends. This weekend was supposed to be my bachelorette party because I am a medical student and have limited time and breaks between classes. We had to cancel that and may not have any opportunity to reschedule unfortunately. We luckily have already had bridal showers for both sides of family, but if we hadn’t we’d likely be canceling. With so much uncertainty right now and wanting to protect the older people in our lives such as grandparents, we wouldn’t want to be holding any events. I am hoping that our wedding and reception will still be okay because postponing or canceling it would be heartbreaking. Sending lots of love to all my other June brides making tough decisions right now! We can get through this together!!

    I love you attitude about this! I think you made a good call about pushing everything back, but still I’m sorry you had to go through that because I’m sure it was a tough call! Hoping we can all stay healthy and positive! Best of luck & keep us updated ☺️

    That’s my thought too, I really want everyone to be there but as long as your intermediate family and FH are there it will be special 💟 I keep thinking that we can’t please everyone, no matter what the circumstance not everyone will be able to make it. However, I hope everyone shows up for you and your day is special! Best of luck!

    My wedding is June 20 and starting to really get nervous. Right now we are holding tight hoping by June things will calm down but our date holds special meaning so trying to think of alternatives.

    It's crazy because we have a vision and a different month throws it off.

    Ours is May 30. We are hoping to have it as planned.


    My shower was supposed to be next weekend is now the first weekend of May. But my fear is that if this continues to get worse, that will be cancelled. my bachelorette trip to Nashville May 15-17 will be cancelled and maybe no wedding?
    I'm feeling super down about the possibility of all of this not working out as planned. And it sounds horrible..but right now trying to stay positive.
    Our venue has offered to let us get married on our date with only our immidiate families and then reschedule for another date.. So we would still have our anniversary date. But my brother lives in NC and we are in IN. So if there becomes a travel ban, idk if he could be there if we do something small.
    Fingers crossed this all clears up and none of have to reschedule. God bless you all.
