June and July Brides do not stress Covid-19!!!

June 28th is our date and I’m crossing my fingers and toes this is all over SOON! As a teacher, a summer wedding is so much more ideal than the fall, but we are getting married and our family all lives in VT & NY. I have to believe it’s all in God’s plan. Stay positive!!!! ❤️

View Quoted Comment All I can share is my experience. I had my date booked for 6/28/20. We decided to reschedule for August 30.


That being said, this isn’t a post about if August is a good choice or not - it’s that I had that crappy pit-in-my-stomach feeling about June, so my FH and I talked. I checked with our venue to see if they would keep the same rate if we had to reschedule, and they suggested a backup date. We ended up simply choosing to move to the “backup date” after we ran that date by a bunch of other vendors, to see if they had it open and to see what they were doing about their reschedule policies in light of everything. Being empathetic about what they were going through as small businesses in the event industry at a time like this but needed to do my due diligence in considering options. They seemed to appreciate my perspective, and all were willing to work with me — no money lost in the move. And since we’ve chosen to move our date, both of our minds are a lot clearer and I can simply now be excited again about planning.
So my thoughts: A. Giiiiiirl I am thinking August will at least be a much better time of year than anything to plan this thing. We have FIVE months. Breathe! Worst case scenario, in a couple months you want to move it, you can consider it. But think about all the brides here posting (not this thread but in general) about how their weddings are in 1 week and they can’t reschedule. They can’t move it. They don’t have options. Those poor girls. We are so lucky with august dates! ALSOOO for what it’s worth, my guests have all been very happy about the idea of traveling in August. I think most people are thinking by August it may not be 100% better but it will be on the mend.B. Maybe consider moving your date if you can’t fix that pit in your stomach. Girl I had that pit for all of 4 days and was like “F THIS! I deserve to be excited about my wedding!” (But of course we were very fortunate we were able to do so because of the accommodating vendors. It just can’t hurt to ask!)

June 20th bride! Silently freaking out...

But trying to stay positive

Exactly. Everyone thinks they're a medical expert with their thoughts and opinions. Sure, I have those too but that doesn't mean I'm right. Hope is not a strategy. And people are saying things like, oh I hope this gets over with soon. Guess what? It won't be over soon because we have a bunch of people saying screw everyone else, I'm getting married anyway. WOW

To those who are open to change and playing it by ear, I say THANK YOU for keeping your mind open to reality and looking out for the health of the rest of us.

View Quoted Comment Yay! I'm so glad you feel the same way! I'm still very hopeful, that we will get our day❤🤞

God bless you ! I needed to read this !! July 25 2020 !!

View Quoted Comment Our date is June 28th 2020 and yes I'm quite a bit nervous myself just have faith and pray and everything will be alright 🙏🙏🙏

I am nervous too. My wedding is July 12th in Fl but its a destination wedding with about 60 family members . I'm hoping that we can still have the wedding because we cannot just reschedule for this year ..

View Quoted Comment I am with you! June 6th here too and trying to stay positive!!

View Quoted Comment Yay! Thanks for letting me know! Keep me posted on how you are doing. I'm here if you need anything!
Starting to address my invitations tomorrow ❤

View Quoted Comment I love your post! We loved our date 06.06 but I just feel like the social distancing won’t be over by June! Plus guests may not be comfortable yet to go out in big crowds. We decided to postpone until 08.08. I was devastated for about a day (mourning the loss of our date)😂 & now I feel so much better. I feel like I did the right thing & im excited again.❤️

View Quoted Comment I am with you! June 6th here too and trying to stay positive!! Hope you feel better soon!

View Quoted Comment Aww i’m SO happy to hear that!!! Yessss!!! June to August weddings unite!!!! 💖💖💖💖🍾

Can We Have a Civil Ceremony Now and a Traditional Wedding Later?Yes, and this is how to do it.

View Quoted Comment Yes girl ☺️ Congratulations and wish you the best in this new chapter on your life 😘

Our date was May 9, 2020 and about a week ago we officially decided to postpone. Our new date is July 3, 2020, but I’m thinking we’re gonna end up having to postpone yet again, and it will likely have to be 2021 given the limited availability of my church, venue, and vendors. This is just so awful all around. I appreciate you trying to spread positive vibes and it’s good to know I’m not alone in feeling this way.

View Quoted Comment I'm with you guys hopefully all this is over by August 29, 2020. Cause i want to get married already. Thinking just do and have the wedding next year. With all this going. But im still praying this will pass quickly.🙏🕊💒

Thank you thank you thank you!!!
June 27th here I have only gotten 3 responses all yes, but this was before this crazy covid outbreak. I'm going to think positive thoughts and in getting married no matter what, even if it is just FH and I 😍

My fiance and I are supposed to get married June 20th and pray this is all died down by then but if not we have decided to legally get married that day and have a large reception later when this craziness is all over. I'm sending a huge prayer to all the fellow 2020 brides. I pray for health and safety through this time of uncertainty and that no matter what we can all reach the end goal of marrying our loves💞
