Postponed and somewhat relieved

Hey I’m July 17 postponed as well but still also getting legally married that day. I ended up making a wedding website with all the information and I posted it on Facebook but I know everyone doesn’t have Facebook so I had no choice but to make change the dates for my new date. If you don’t have a date yet you can always mail something with information regarding your decision. I used minted which wasn’t expensive at all but it’s a know your crowd type of thing I know a lot of my guests don’t have social media so I had no choice but to make them.

I'm honestly relieved to be seeing dates later than ours deciding to postpone. My fiance and I were just discussing our July 10, 2020 wedding date and making a decision on postponing to next year. It seems crazy, especially if everything dies down, but there are so many unknowns! A lot of girls I keep seeing are moving from May to July of this year. I wish them the best, but I do not want to have to reschedule twice.

Hi Nicole,

I'm glad you're feeling relieved about the postponement! I can imagine that making a decision (one way or the other) feels good.
