Officially had to Postpone

So as of last night we had to postpone our April 25th wedding. I’m of course bummed about it but the safety of my loved ones, friends, family and the vendors is more important to me than getting married on a certain date. We have/had no emotional ties to our sate anyways I just love the spring and knew it would be pretty but it will also be just as pretty whenever we do all collectively decide to make it happen. Vendors and everyone are super understanding and even though they aren’t saying it they are probably relieved that they can stay home and be safe like everyone should plan of doing for a while. Best of luck to all the brides in the same situation. My mentality is I would rather look back on my day with nothing but positivity and that would be really hard to do if we went through with doing it next month. Good luck to everyone and stay safe. ❤️

    I'm so happy that it all worked out for you. Our date was originally 05/03/2020 and I was also in love with the idea of a spring wedding. After everything was booked, we found out my brother-in-law (also one of our groomsmen) is getting deployed in March/April. It was way more important to us to have him there than to have a spring wedding or have it on the date we had originally planned. Thankfully all of our venues were super cooperative and we were able to move everything up to 02/23/2020 and it was perfect! Your new wedding date will be just as special as before and I love your mentality for this whole situation. Smiley heart

    I’m so sorry this happened!!! I wish you the wedding of your dreams once things get better.


    Thank you for making this sacrifice to help curb this pandemic. I loved your point about positivity when you reflect back on your big day.

    April 18, we are postponing as well. I'm in the same boat as you, the date held no significance before we picked it, but now I'm sad that we won't be able to get married that day, since it has been "our" date for two years now.

    Best wishes to you, we will get through this!

    Were you able to get the same vendors for your new date? That is my worst fear.

    We are getting married April 18th and we aren't cancelling or moving our date. We just decided to make it small and simple instead....

    We thought about it but we already have over the limit of RSVPs so it would be super hard to to cut that many people from coming and I was worried about the vendors coming too. It just seemed simple for us to push it back. I texted my maid of honor and one of my bridesmaids and said well On the bright side I have more time to lose those few extra pounds that I wanted to anyways! 😂❤️

    We don’t have a new date set as it seems easier to just wait until things settle down and then we can decide. So far I haven’t ran into any issues yet. The plan is to find a date that works for everyone. They are in the same boat as us and are probably getting canceled on left and right so I know they are going to want to make it work.

    We were having 100 guests but so far only 55 had RSVP'd. So I don't have a problem cutting it too exactly 50 people only. We are limited the number of children to only the ones in the wedding....

    Same original date here. I'm glad you got everything to work out! We officially postponed to August 1st. So glad our vendors worked with us and the only one we haven't heard back from yet is our DJ.

    Our wedding was originally suppose to be April 4,2020... 15 days away. Still incredibly sad but We’d rather our guest feel safe and healthy. We will still marry April 4th BUT only our immediate family present, then May 30th is the new date with the big ceremony! Praying we won’t have to move it again

    My wedding was planned for March 28th. We also had to reschedule. It’s heartbreaking to not have it all go exactly as originally planned but the state says the wedding cannot go on and it’s safer for our family and friends.

    Have any couples run into any vendors that are trying to charge extra to move your date amidst all of the COVID-19 uncertainty? Majority of our vendors have been so understanding and flexible, with the exception of our videographer who claims he has to charge another 50% to book a new date. We are devastated that someone would try to take advantage of this already scary and unsettling situation, and we are not sure what to do because we have paid in full and will lose a lot of money and can’t afford to pay more. Thankfully my job is unaffected, but my fiancé’s hours are being cut, which will already leave us in a financial bind.

    When was your original date? A lot of contracts have an Act of God clause which states that if they are unable to perform duties on the date you receive all of your money back. Technically if your date is within the CDC recommended time to not have a wedding (the next 8 weeks) you have an argument to get all of your money back. I would get a full refund and then book someone else because anyone trying to take advantage of this situation is awful.

    Our Date was April 18th. We ended up moving everything to June 13th. The CDC commented that the large gathering ban was only until the end of May so we are going to just hold out that June will be ok and this will all be settled.

    Our original date is May 23. Does the large gatherings ban go until the end of May? I thought it was only for the next 8 weeks, (ours is 9 weeks out). I’m going to look into it, thank you! I hope everything is settled for your new date in June.

    Hello,

    So sorry that you had to move your wedding date, but better safe than sorry. My wedding isn't until October, but my fiancée and I are thinking of a Plan B and Plan C just in case this situation does not get any better. Vendors should be understanding of the situation. I already reached out to mine just in case of anything.
