    Our date is 5/8/21. Im trying to be optimistic, but it’s hard. I feel like everyone keeps asking me lately what we’re going to do, and at this point I’m just not sure. We have decided that no matter what, we’ll be getting married that day. And we’ll just have to determine what to do as far as the reception. This is definitely not what I had thought my wedding would ever be, but at this point I’m just rolling with the punches. Not sure what else to do for now.

    Hello all, I read some of your posts. Congratulations to you all! As for myself I feel like it's very hard & frustrating, to plan a Wedding during a Pandemic. I have started & stopped a lot.
    My Fiance & I got engaged on Leap Day, at Disneyland in front of the castle. It wasn't perfect but perfect for us. I was still on a high from getting engaged, then the Pandemic hit a few days later. It felt like we didn't even have time to even enjoy the initial stages of being engaged.
    All I really have done is, I got a dress, which I picked & ordered about 2 weeks ago. I envisioned a small Wedding anyhow, so just focusing on us & about 25-30 guests. Still working on a venue & all the other details. I'm okay with where I'm at, & I'm just rolling with it. We live in San Diego, so I feel we have a lot of choices as far as an outside ceremony. I feel like I found a perfect spot, just pinning down a final date. I do get stressed a bit, but I think our tentative date of 05/15/21 is okay. I will re-evaluate if we need to postpone around January or February. For now just focused on staying calm. We're already a family, just anticipating stealing his last name. Keep calm, do yoga & just stay positive everyone! Best of luck!

    So far wedding planning is going great! At this point all I have to do is purchase decorations. I’m not too concerned about our May wedding right now. So far masks are not mandated where we are having our wedding. If things stay the way they are for us then it will optional for people to wear a mask. I don’t want to wear a mask for our wedding either way, because I feel like that would ruin it for me. But fingers crossed that everything is calmed down by then! 🤞🏻

    I’m hoping it will be bet he r, but planning as if it won’t be. We have a lot of family from New England so I am thinking/ planning they won’t be in attendance so I am thinking of ways to try and include them event virtually. I think we will have the ceremony live streamed and of anyone can’t be there in person, have the ability to say something in video or FaceTime during the reception. Anyone have thoughts or ideas about this?

    May 28th 2021!! So we have the venue, flowers, the photographer, looking at bridesmaids dresses in November due to my maid of honor will be getting married in December. We are looking at tux’s this month and will decide what we want. Haven’t done a tasting yet at the St.James in red wing. Once we do that in November December time we will be getting more of the times down as to when the ceremony will start that’s type of thing. I just booked hotel rooms beside the St.James in red wing just to make sure we have enough rooms blocked out. I’m getting excited more things are coming up to start planning more!! We’ve been engaged since November 16th 2019. I’m hoping everything will be mostly back to normal.. my heart goes out to those brides who had to push off things... that would devastate me. Finger crossed. Congratulations to all the brides!!

    Am I the only person who has to invite a certain amount of people due to city laws because of COVID-19?

    Wedding: 5/21/2021


    It is definitely a lot more stressful than it was in the beginning. Me and my fiancé actually decided to go ahead and exchange vows back in August because we’re so unsure about COVID living in MI. It’s not something we wanted 100%, more like 70/80 😂 but we felt that we needed to do it in order to prepare ourselves in case we’re in a shut down again. I am finding a lot of stuff is sold out, so it’s hard to get very particular cylinders for centerpieces (gold or white & gold). The other issue with Covid is that most of my fiancé‘s/ husband’s family are traveling 10+ hours some even from out of the country and we have to deal with possibility of flights being shut down again... 🗣 just stressful!!

    May 30th 2021 Bride here! I’m trying to plan as covid friendly as possible. However it becomes a bit challenging at times finding a good vendor, I’m still looking for my caterer! Staying as positive as I can because I just want to celebrate with my hunny. We are having a smaller wedding ~75 hopefully. Sending all my best to every one planning. 🥰🥰

    Do we think a 175 person wedding in PA is unrealistic for May 7th, 2021?

    So far everything is moving pretty fast. We have the food tasting this weekend. Just had our first dance rehearsal and that went very well! Decorations and all that are already set in place. I made us a website for everyone to RSVP and if guest list has to be shortened or things change they could go to the website for the update. This would make it a lot easier to communicate changes. We’re just waiting to officially decide on the food before ordering invitations and sending them out. The ladies just received their brides maids dresses and we just finished ordering the flowers and all that. Basically the Music list, the videographer, choosing the design for the cake and ordering the guy’s suits are all we have to focus on right now. It’s so much easier with my soon to be spouse helping with every detail!

    So far so good. I have moments where I think how are we going to do this but I just try to stay positive and look at my fiancé. I’m doing this for us and that’s all that matters even if it doesn’t work out like it’s suppose.
