What an emotional roller coaster this pandemic has been for all of us 2020 brides!! If there’s anywhere to come to express emotions/frustrations/concerns/questions....etc. this is the place, right?!


I’ve reached a depressing realization that our wedding may have to be postponed AGAIN.... 😢 We were supposed to be married on March 27, and a week beforehand, our venue called to break the bad news that we would have to postpone. She offered me her first available date of June 19....the day I received the news, I called every single vendor and got our date switched and although I was disappointed, I was grateful to have a new date and vendors all on board. We were able to get our honeymoon rebooked as well. Well....now we are just over a month away from our new date and things are not looking good.....I finally emailed my venue to ask if there is any information they could give me, so there’s a little thread of optimism that I’m holding onto...but there’s a high chance we will have to postpone for the second time.
Rather than dealing with the anticipation, disappointment and pain associated with coming so close and having to reschedule at any point in 2020, we have decided that if this date doesn’t work out, we will push our date to next year. Who would have thought this would happen to the world....who would have thought it would last this long?! I’m sad and upset that all of our weddings are being impacted by this. And I feel terrible for all of the vendors who are losing so much business from all of this!! It’s truly a disaster!
I can’t wait for this to be behind us all and to hear all of the beautiful wedding stories from fellow brides! Praying for peace, positivity and so much love on your new wedding dates!!

    Yep, that’s what all of us brides who’ve spent months (or years) planning feel! I’m sorry you’re disappointed. That is such a let down, but I’m sure your new wedding plans will still be very special. The thought of something small briefly crossed my mind, but we decided together that we wanted to wait to have the wedding we planned for 18 months (now it will be 27 months!!) We worked so hard and budgeted so well together & I really love all of the vendors & venue that we picked that I just can’t imagine changing anything! That’s wayyyy too much money to let go for us and I just really want the wedding that we hoped for with all of our friends and family. I don’t want to look back knowing that the wedding we had is based on stress and Corona guidelines. I want it to be that magical day with my dad walking me down the aisle, seeing my FH face, having the salon experience with my girls and seeing all of my decor come to life. We can’t wait to eat the food we paid the most money in our budget on bc it was so good and the catering company has been awesome, and have the best dance party with everyone!! (I guess I am getting excited again!)

    And I honestly worry things won't be better next year. I think they will likely improve, but I have doubts about it being "weddings as normal" in 2021.

    We've canceled our May 30, 2020 wedding and tentatively pushed our date back to June 12, 2021 at this point. I definitely feel better about that then attempting anything in 2020, but I'm not super confident. If I knew we could have the wedding we wanted then I would just wait, but I'm worried we'll still have social distancing in place and masking requirements/recommendations. If hugging and dancing with guests is going to be off the table for years, I'd rather just do a small civil ceremony now and be married, then do the full wedding thing whenever it's safe to do so again, even if thats 2, 5, 10 years from now. I don't want to wait a full year and then still be disappointed. I don't know what to do, and it's awful.

    I understand your feelings about the situation. I was supposed to get married May 23, 2020 but have postponed until July 25. Sadly, we know that the venue will not be able to open to any capacity by the new date... we are postponing yet again. I have found no joy in future wedding planning at this point. I’m sorry you are experiencing the same things I am. I wish you all the best.

    I’m sorry you are going through this! It’s hard to be excited when there are so many uncertainties and things going against your plans, but I truly think If you push it out further, Possibly to next year, you will find joy and excitement again. I hope you do!
