June wedding-holding onto Hope!

Wedding date twins! My fiance and I have decided to just elope on our day instead of the big 200+ wedding list due to his income being reduced during this time and we still had many vendors that need to be paid. As for our honeymoon we are keeping it scheduled as planned at an all inclusive resort in the Caribbean and we got travel insurance just incase we need to postpone that trip until later.

Ours is June 13th in my fiancé’s parent’s backyard, however we are probably going to have 100-120 people. Given our location (low case counts), that it’s all outdoors, our guests are local and all our vendors are still on board, I plan to keep the date. I’ll reassess around May 10th. Our backup date is July 18th.


Our honeymoon is June 23rd to Cozumel. I’m devastated because I think that’s definitely going to be canceled. I still don’t plan to cancel until we make a decision to postpone the wedding or not.
Fingers crossed!

Hello!! Former June 27 Bride here!!

I honestly think what you're planning should actually be fine depending on what state you are holding your wedding. An intimate backyard ceremony with less than 50 people sounds like an event that I would be pretty comfortable with given the circumstances. Are all of your guests local? We had to postpone our June 27th wedding due to it was a domestic destination wedding (all of us had to travel from out of town) and we are expecting 150+ at our wedding and reception. We postponed to December 12th and are fairly confident in our new date.

As for your honeymoon, depending on where it is located, you might need to postpone or make new plans. Check with your travel agent or the hotel/cruise/resort company and see what your options are currently.

Hi Leslie,

This is definitely a crazy stressful and uncertain time for everyone! It seems like a lot of June brides are waiting a few more weeks before making postponement decisions, but everyone's situation is different and it never hurts to be proactive about plan b!

You also aren't alone right now! ❤️

There are a ton of June brides also talking about their Covid-19 concerns in these discussions:

June 2020 brides: freaking out?

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

I'm so sorry you you are thinking of changing your plans. Stay positive and hang in there!!

June 20th bride who postponed from April 18th! Our wedding is going to be about 45 people. Holding out hope!

Same date as yours. So far we have not postponed, but we do have a back up date in August being held by our venue. Our original honeymoon was an Alaska Cruise, which was just cancelled by the cruise line. So we have to come up with a new honeymoon idea. I really don't know what to do.

Our wedding is June 13th in San Diego with 100 guests. We are holding out hope that this can occur. We will make a decision by mid-May. Fingers crossed!!

Our wedding is June 21st, with about 75-100 people.... all locals and we are doing it outdoors here in AK. We are still holding out hope, and planning as it’s happening all in one day. We sent out special notes as a “heads up” in our invites to let guests know we might have to be a bit more creative & postpone the big party until later in the summer, but the actual ceremony will happen on 6/21. All we can do is cross our fingers and know that we need to #JustRollWithIt.... 😜 Really ladies, just stay calm and know that it’s all out of our control- what we do with it (this situation) is up to us. Don’t let it consume you or define the start of your marriage. Be safe!!

Same date in Upstate NY. We have about 40 people. My biggest back and forth is about what we are allowed to do and what we should do. It's about 40+ people but they will be coming from DE and NJ as well. I don't know if its safe, even if they let up the requirements by June to gather, if we should risk people getting sick just to see us. Most people on our list are sheltering now and only a few have essential jobs and those jobs have many precautions in place, so in general its not a high-risk group. Still, I'd hate for someone to get something due to coming to our event.

We are schedule to marry on June 28th in San Diego. We and all our 40 guests are from Texas. Our vendors are hopeful but I feel it’s not going to happen. My wedding planner says to give it time but we are heading into the end of April and I feel the restrictions won’t left or new normal will affect our day. I don’t want to have our guests with face mask on our special day. I haven’t even made our invitations of the uncertainty and many of our wedding items have the June date. It’s frustrating because of the situation.
