Postpone, Cancel, or Hope?

Also another big thing is my fiances mom is going through chemo so that's another thing I was confused about!

Hi date twin! We’re having the same dilemma. Ultimately, all we can do right now is give it a bit more time. Also, high risk people will make their own choices on whether or not to attend. If this is still crazy at the end of April, can the venue provide his mom her own table with just a few other people? Does she have access to a mask to wear? Hang in there girl! This is awful!!

I would postpone especially if your mother is immune compromised. I would feel so bad if any of my guests got sick because of my wedding, and it would probably just put a ton of stress on you and on your guests. Will your vendors hold your deposits for another date? I feel like later in the summer (maybe around August) would be safe for sure.

Postpone just to be on the safe side.

I would postpone to a later date. The current guidelines are no events with more than 10 people for the next 8 weeks, and your date is right at the end of those 8 weeks. If your future MIL is going through chemo and immunocompromised, then she will certainly not be able to attend (I can guarantee that any reputable oncologist would forbid this). These are the people who are most likely to die from coronavirus, after all, and many people carry it unknowingly without any symptoms... I would contact your vendors ASAP and see if they're able to move you to another date! So sorry you have to deal with this

View Quoted Comment Thanks everyone for the responses!! My heart is definitely telling me to postpone it, but my fiance is definitely against it so it has just been difficult to decide what to do.

So you not worried postpone or wait ti April to see how things are progressing. Good luck

View Quoted Comment Would you say the same thing for a May 30th date? Can’t see how a couple weeks will really make a difference at this point

Hey there. So our date is next Saturday. I woke up this morning and decided I cant do this anymore. We pushed everything back. We're still planning an elopement in our living room and signing our docs next weekend. But our real ceremony and reception are pushed back.


I'd say wait. Give it 4 weeks. See if things have improved or gotten worse.

Hi date twin. We're supposed to be getting married in FL on May 16. We're contacting our vendors now to see what our options are and will make a final decision by April 7. My gut says we will postpone so we're looking at dates next May. I'm bummed but trying to stay positive. I hope you come to a decision that you're both at peace with. 💛

I'm not a doctor, but probably and unfortunately yes

I've been following the CDC's recommendations closely and I think there's a high likelihood this will not clear up by the summer. I would get in touch with your vendors ASAP and make a contingency plan--see if your venue has a different date to offer you, preferably in September or later. My heart goes out to you and I'm so sorry

Thanks for the advice, I totally agree. I've been speaking with my photographer about new dates but my venue has basically said we are going to stay open until told otherwise, which is annoying. But I do believe I can find a date that works in the late summer/early fall even if it's on a Friday or Sunday. It's definitely a disappointment to say the least

Same here! My venue is completely booked until 2022, unless I wanted to have my wedding on Friday or Sunday. Good Luck with everything Saxby!

Thank you everyone for the support! I'm sorry to everyone who are dealing with the same thing. I wish everyone the best of luck! Thanks again ya'll!

I'm getting married the 15th and have decided to postpone. The only dates that my vendors have that match up in sometime in November. I just feel like it will be too cold with my dress and dusty blue may not be such a great color for that time. I'm going to see if we can just move it to next year. I hope everything works out for everyone on here!
