View Quoted Comment Ugh I'm so sorry girl!! I wish nothing but the best and that you get your job back soon!!

View Quoted Comment Praying so hard! Adding you to my list! God is in control and will provide! ❤ trying not lean on my own understanding and fears.

View Quoted Comment Aw tha ka! It's okay! Gods got this. I'll be okay. ❤

My shower was April 25 and bachelorette party April 29th in Mexico, we cancelled both sadly and since they closed Down the Mexican border there is no chance before our wedding to make it happen 😭. Our wedding is June 19th and I am just at a stand still with planning because I’m so afraid it will get cancelled too!

View Quoted Comment Thank you !! It definitely was very hard- literally a day before this thing hit the fan I had just confirmed 150 RSVPs - Everything was falling into place and I had every last detail pretty much ready!! 3 weeks to my wedding! 😭 like literally out of all the things you think could go wrong before your wedding a global pandemic isn’t one of them 🤦🏼‍♀️🤷🏼‍♀️... can’t work out at my gym, can’t get my nails done, can’t have a bachelorette party lol.. what’s left? But I am happy with my new date - I want an outdoors ceremony and April 4th was very likely going to be cold or raining 😂... everything will work out - I’m sure if it- for all of us!! 💕💕 keep us updated as well!! Sending positive vibes your way !

View Quoted Comment Yes!!! He’s got you. Stay positive.

View Quoted Comment My wedding, bridal shower, and bachelorette party are literally on all of the same dates as yours and I am SUPER nervous. It helps to talk to someone so confident and calm. Thanks for a little peace of mind

I’m thinking that too

View Quoted Comment My daughters wedding is scheduled for June 19th as well. I got on here to see what others are doing. So confused on what to do now. Sending emails to all our venders in the morning to get there recommendations.
Good idea on splitting up the shower. You may want to consider only one person plating food to avoid the chance of spreading any germs. Our wedding planner suggested no buffet type food at this time. Just a thought.

Our wedding is June 6th as well! We’re still hopeful and actually sent out our invitations the other day! We’ve talked with our venue (in upstate NY) about other dates just to see what’s available, but I’ve also heard that the virus could resurge in the fall/winter, so I’d be nervous to postpone anyway. I really don’t know. I’m hearing some people say the worst should be over by early May, but I’ve also read that we’re going to need to social distance intermittently until a vaccine comes out in 18 months. Also the marriage bureau in NYC is closed until further notice so we can’t even get a license until they reopen. As of now, we’re still going ahead with our plans though. Good luck to everyone!!

I am in your same situation! I've created a Facebook group just for this. To spread some joy and happiness for this really tough time for us all, especially for us brides. I invite you to follow me here: https://www.facebook.com/groups/196954168261280/

It's called "I Do" Pandemic.
We all need some positivity right now!

My wedding is May 17 and I am trusting In God

We are also 6/6 we talked last night about what we want to do. We are holding onto hope that everything will be alright by then. But if everything closes in our honeymoon city for longer than the middle of may, or there ends up being a travel ban we will have to postpone or cancel entirely. (We are doing a commitment ceremony so itll be no really big thing if we cancel and just reschedule use of the cabin we've rented) our honeymoon is going to involve the kids and my parents too so there has to be something for us to do besides sit in the cabin. Totally freaking out though

Hi

Wow, I am so sorry to hear that you can't get refunded on the honeymoon which should be courtesy given the situation but I would see if you can speak to a superior on the call to see if they could bend the rules.

I personally would reach out to your venue as getting a plan B if it needs to be pushed out and then your vendors. We all may know after a couple weeks how much longer the restrictions will be imposed.

It's unfortunate but I've read that brides should consider moving their weddings due to the virus. Social gatherings really should be non existent until we are in a clear of this mess.

Good luck!

On a positive note, You could always do a honeymoon in Mexico instead once the borders are open to travel. Move shower and bachelorette to May and bring the tropical vibe for your bridal shower and cater it with Mexican food and margaritas. Just a thought.

At times like these we have to think a little outside the box. Good luck.

This is so stressful! Our wedding is 6/13. My bridal shower (4/11) and bachelorette (4/18) are both cancelled now. I’m hesitant to reach out to vendors at this point because I’m sure they are busy dealing with weddings coming up sooner, but my fiancé and I have started to discuss what our contingency plan will be if we have to cancel or postpone our wedding.


I am a physician and on the front lines of this in a major city. My major piece of advice is to consider your family members- I do not anticipate it will be safe for my 87 year old grandma to attend a bridal shower on 4/11, and that is why I finally just told my family to call it off. Even if restrictions are lifted by then, our family members with underlying health issues are still going to be at high risk of contracting the virus and getting very sick.
Our families are mostly local to our venue (we live several states away), so I am hoping we can at least have our wedding with our families, but plan to re-evaluate the situation as time goes by. I fear many of my friends and bridesmaids (also physicians) will be unable to travel for the wedding (we are losing our vacation time as many of our colleagues are quarantined or sick). I figure if things are still bad in June, we have much bigger things to worry about than a wedding.
That being said, remember it is okay to grieve the experiences that COVID is robbing you of. We are only human, and this all totally sucks.

Hello all!


I’m from Toronto, Canada and our cases here are not as high as it is in the US. Our wedding is also on June 6,2020 and really trying to stay positive here but seeing the news everyday with new cases makes me worry and think it’s not going to get better anytime soon
I’ve had to push my bridal shower from March 28 to now May 9 and even cancel our Portugal bachelorette trip in April due to all the travel bans and high risk.

I’ve been speaking with my fiancé about our June 6th date and so far we are still a go but definitely are keeping an eye on things to see if we need to postpone.

If it turns out things we can’t proceed with the date we agreed to still have a small ceremony that day (immediate family only) as this date holds such a special place in our hearts and hold the ceremony at a later date.

Hopefully this all gets better soon & I’m sorry everyone has to go through this!!!

I meant hold the reception at a later date!


Praying for better days 🙏🏼

Hi! My timeline is SOOO similar to yours!! I don’t know what to do. Shower May 3rd, Bachelorette May 16th and Wedding June 13th. We haven’t even planned a honeymoon because of all this. We got a back up date for a sunday in Sept, but to secure it we need to switch the date. They won’t hold it for us unless we cancel our current date and I don’t know if I am ready to do that. We personally want to get married with all friends and family there, not just a small one on our date and celebrate later. Please keep posting June brides!!! We all need to figure this out and help each other!
