Postponed wedding celebration

I am not making our first ceremony extremely extravagant. Fake flowers and ivory curtain thats going to be stapled to wood outside. Couple of tiki candles and string lighting. Wearing a super simple ivory dress and cute sandals. Small grocery store cake. It will be nothing like my reception in September (Hopefully) which will be even more than it was before COVID.


We are now looking at getting a band and just really celebrating with family and friends. We are going to need it.

We are also paying over $15,000 for our wedding and don’t want to put money into a small ceremony that no one can or will go to.

View Quoted Comment Well the ceremony is for us, that’s why we decided to go ahead and get married. We won’t have anyone there but the officiant. My dress I own it, the flowers were 10 bucks from amazon, the curtains were 20 bucks from amazon, we have tons of wine/champagne and if I want to I could bake a box cake for 3 bucks but I like Costco’s German chocolate cake. 🤣


But it sounds like you are looking forward to your actual wedding day and don’t want to take away any emotional feeling from it. Which is totally understandable so maybe you should just do something you do on your regularly date night and just toast to your original day. That way you acknowledge it but don’t have to make a formal commitment to it.

We are postponjnf our wedding to next year. While our original date would have been special because we would have gotten married that date, its not special yet. So I don't think we will do anything extra to acknowledge it. Our new date will now become our special day to celebrate!

I’m looking for ideas also...



Especially since the date is also my Angel daughters birth/passing day.. i

Hi Angel,

I just wanted to pop in here to let you know I am thinking about you! I think this is a great idea. I would absolutely celebrate with a pizza date night. Or, you can event do a zoom call with your bridal party and parents. Maybe make it a game night with all of your favorite people.

I can't wait to hear what you decide.

Sending lots of love your way!!
