My wedding is in Ohio in July, thinking postpone it to Nov/Dec right now....

How many guests? If you are wanting over 50, I would postpone. I postponed my Ohio June 20 wedding to August 7 and am concerned about that date too but I think we will just cut the guest list if we have to.

I don't exactly know how Ohio is doing but think about your guest count. I don't think many states will be in the position to allow large social gathers for awhile. If you are around 50, I think you might be okay in July. I'm supposed to be getting married in August, but we are just waiting for our venue to say we can postpone without penalty. We're having 200 people and I don't think my state will be in a position to have large social gatherings by then. I also heard Deborah Birx who is a a part of the Coronavirus Task force says social distancing will be needed through the summer. That will have significant impacts on weddings. Regardless, I hope when your wedding day comes, you have the most amazing day. I know it's so stressful but I am just not trying to think too much about it (which is hard).

I think at this point it is best to postpone. I think things will reopen in June but gathering ban will not be lifted yet. I also feel that even in July people are still going to be worried about all this. If you are okay with people not dancing, hugging, and enjoying themselves then July may be okay. I know this situation is not ideal but make a pros and cons list of what would be good about being married this year and negative. Make sure to include the feels of your guest, ad having bridal shower/ bachelorette parities!

We postponed our June 13 wedding to September 26 in Ohio. Hopefully DeWine provides some insight into the future when he unveils part of his plan today, but I don’t think he’ll allow large gatherings for a while. We are hopeful that we’ll be able to have our 140 guests celebrate with us in September, but it’s still uncertain. We’re getting married in a small ceremony on June 13 and trying to make it as special as possible in my parents backyard. We don’t want to wait any longer, especially since we don’t know for sure the fall will be better or okay.

I am also June 6 in Ohio. We are expecting around 70 guests and currently are going ahead with planning and trying to hold out until the last minute to see what happens. I’m not willing to postpone, we’ve already decided we won’t wait any longer to be married and I don’t like the idea of getting married just us and then staging another wedding later on. If things are still bad by then we will just cut our guest list down to parents, grandparents, and siblings only. I do think gatherings of 50 will be ok by then and since we are having an outdoor wedding we are thinking of just spacing tables and chairs out further, I’m waiting to see what DeWine says today to see if that makes anything more clear. I am so devastated about all of this and we still haven’t ordered my cake or had my dress altered. I have a dress fitting today and we are trying to figure out what we are doing before we make any more orders or down payments
