    There are so many brides who have postponed. In fact, today is my wedding day! We already eloped at this point but I am still struggling. I will tell you, it is a grieving process. What hurts even more, is that many people don't understand the capacity of canceling a wedding. Sometimes it isn't easy to postpone, some brides have had to cancel multiple times, and it is just exhausting. I encourage you to talk with family and friends who you know will empathize with you. Just because their are "worse" things going on in the world, does not mean you can't be angry, sad, and cry about this. Take care of yourself!

    We postponed from July 18, 2020 to August 14, 2021. I was inconsolable for a couple of days. I am still sad, but starting to feel more relieved. It's not fair that this is happening to all of us at what is supposed to be such a happy time, but it is the unfortunate reality. I realized that by sacrificing my date, I would be able to have the exact wedding we planned, just on a different date. By keeping our date, we were sacrificing so much more. And honestly, planning wasn't even fun any more once all this started to happen. The least risky option is to just wait.

    Good luck to you! Your wedding will be beautiful no matter what, and you're allowed to feel whatever your feeling.

    Hi!!! July 17th Bride here! I feel you pain, worry, and anger! This whole situation is just stressful because it is so unknown and seems to change day by day. I am still moving forward as planned for now. I am live in Florida and I am having the wedding here, but 100% of my guests will be coming from out of state (worries me the most), my guest list is already under 50 which is a positive thing at this point, but still has me wondering what can happen before then and will these re-opening phases work and make it worse. My fiance is completely positive we are having our wedding on our date, which makes me feel good, but sometimes the news and everything I read gets me down. I am trying to place all my faith in God and just know he has a plan of how my day should go. Currently my venue along with all my vendors has been a blessing. My venue has a hold date on November 1st as a back up if need be without any extra charges. Only thing is if another bride is looking at that date I will have to make an immediate decision, so it can happen anytime. I am trying to wait and see what May and the beginning of June looks like and how things are progressing before I need to make an ultimate decision for my guest. Everyone seems ok with coming as long as they can travel. I am praying for everyone going through this and my suggestion is to keep the faith and trust that you made the right decision for you and your loved ones!! Also its ok to feel the way you do! We all have a right be be upset and down about this whole thing. We all know that what going on in the world is horrible, but we also lost a piece of ourselves along the way. Praying your new date is something you have always dreamed about! Sending lots of love

    We postponed by a month. We are actually pretty excited about it! Both of our families are relieved that we postponed even though its only by d
    Few weeks. Our state is opening May 1, and we should have an idea of how well things are going by June (we were june 6, now July 11) but we also want our families to be comfortable. I was kinda bummed but now I'm super excited!!

    We postponed until December 11, 2020. At first I was sad. Then I was relieved we got the new date. And now I’m stressing out that December will still be shaky. (We’re in NY)
