Just Not the Same

Danielle, on May 10, 2020 at 9:17 AM Posted in Community Conversations 1 3
Our wedding was to be memorial day weekend. May 23 we had so many 3 day weekend fun stuff planned. Our crew was excited. It was going to be the "happening" event of our families. My fiancee has a huge family like each aunt has 6 kids and they have kids. But vivid messed everything up. We are now in hot August with an outdoor ceremony. My dream dress that I purchased has long sheet sleeves and the guys were gonna wear velvet jackets. Maybe we can keep the jackets but my enthusiasm is crushed. The wedding will still be fun but I want ppl to be as excited they were before. I could gent forever but I won't.

    I'm so sorry. Was the August the only option available for you to reschedule? Long sleeves and velvet jackets are definitely going to be too hot for August, but they may have also been too warm for May depending on the weather. I got married at the end of July it was 100 degrees that day. Our wedding was indoors, but we took some outdoor photos and it was miserable out.

    I'm sorry you are having to go through this! It's hard to shift gears when you had a different picture in mind for so long...but I trust that you will make it through! If you could make it through this far into wedding planning (bless you, that's a skill in itself), then you can totally get creative and make your new vision work just as well, if not better. Focus on something that you ARE really excited for still for a while, and you'll get your groove back.

    Hi Danielle,

    I'm so sorry that postponing your wedding from May to August is ruining your vision. Was August the only option for rescheduling?

    As you know, August can be very hot. I got married at the end of August (Labor Day weekend), and it was one of the hottest days of the year (or so it seemed to us). That being said, as much as we joke about the heat that day, I don't remember all the sweat or anyone's specific attire--unless I look at the photos, of course. The memories are happy feelings of being surrounded by my friends and family while I married my loving husband. Plus, it was a great party with plenty of food and drinks. Everyone had a blast! I guess all I'm saying is that, in the end, you may find that being able to celebrate the day with your loved ones is more than enough.

    I'll be thinking of of you! Smiley heart
