Us too, thank you.

My wedding was supposed to be the 28th as well, we just got an email from the venue and they canceled our event. I'm a wreck right now I can't stop crying. They gave us the option to reschedule, but I haven't talk to my fiance yet or any other vendors. Did you decide to postpone or the venue canceled it?

That's definitely lucky! I hope everything else continues to stay positive and work in your favor. We both got laid off until further notice and ended up cancelling our big reception. Still moving forward with our intimate ceremony though. This is the 3rd time we've ended up making wedding plans and had to cancel everything completely. I refuse to do it again lol.

Do you think August is late enough? I would love to do August too, but I'm so worried that things will not be back to normal by then. If we have to postpone then, I feel like we'll just cancel outright and the wedding I've been planning for years won't happen, which breaks my heart.

View Quoted Comment Oh I’m so sorry to hear that. We decided to postpone. Our wedding is in Nashville, where my fiancé is from, we currently live in Cincinnati, and all my family and friends are in greater NYC, which is where I am from. A lot of our guests were concerned about traveling. As soon as we mentioned to my parents we were thinking of rescheduling, there was an audible sigh of relief. I knew then we had to reschedule. Anyway we reached out to our venue, got a few dates and then went back to our vendors. Everyone is expecting this. My suggestion is get dates from your venue, talk to your fiancé and close people and vendors, and start putting things into action. It sucks, it will be a roller coaster of emotions but it’s happening to everyone. My thought was get ahead of it. So far the only thing we are losing out on his our Airbnb we were gonna stay at for our wedding and we get a full refund. You can do this.

View Quoted Comment I don’t know if August is late enough but my thinking is, if it’s not, then we all got bigger fish to fry. I know people who cancelled April weddings and they are pushing back till November and December. I was initially thinking of cancelling but my friends and family talked me back from that ledge. When is your wedding?


Also my fiancé and I are still going to the courthouse today to get legally married. It’s not the same but it is something to be excited about.

Our wedding date is April 25th. Located in Baltimore Maryland. I am not sure if I should cancel our wedding or not. The venue has not cancelled. I also don't want to spend all this money and not be able to have the wedding. I cannot postpone because my Fiance and I are moving to another state in May. I don't know what to do. Any advice from anyone would be greatly appreciated.

View Quoted Comment I’m so sorry to hear that Jasmine. I’m glad you are keeping your small ceremony. We have to keep some of the good stuff when we can. Thank you for your kind words. I hope you can continue to stay positive and I am sending you positive, bank account filled thoughts!

I'm glad your courthouse is open so you can do it! Congratulations! Ours are closed. I am kicking myself for not getting a license in advance so we could just get married ourselves whenever.

Mine was supposed to be May 23. We were thinking of a Friday in mid-August, or else January/February/May 2021. I really wanted a spring wedding, but May 2021 seems SO far away.

Maryland has imposed a ban on gatherings of 50 people or less for an undetermined period of time, so if the venue hasn't cancelled on you yet, it may just be a matter of time. I'm so sorry. We are also getting married in Baltimore, and not knowing when the ban will be lifted is so frustrating.

Could you postpone to later and then just come back to MD for the wedding?

View Quoted Comment Agree with Joyce. This may just happens to you. I would at least reach out to the venue to see what your options are now. This way if you do have to reschedule, you have had some time to honk about it.

View Quoted Comment Unfortunately, we cannot postpone because we are moving to another state after our wedding date.

It wouldn't have helped. you have 5 days to file your marriage license once you're married which also isn't possible right now. it's a lose lose situation.

Yes, we do and you're very welcome. I appreciate your positivity! May we all come out of this sooner rather than later.

View Quoted Comment If I had a May waiting I would still wait and see. It also depends on your guest list. Over half of our guests don’t live in Nashville and would have to fly from greater NYC. If you have people
More local, that could change things in 2 months.

I never wanted a summer wedding in Nashville...it’s gonna be swampy! But I didn’t want to wait. I think you should start prioritizing what’s important to you and your close people and start talking to your venue to get a feel for options. Once again, end of May we could totally be on the other side of this thing.

View Quoted Comment Thank you for the advice. I will talk to my fiance when we get out of work

Our guest list is almost entirely out of state and out of country. We don't even live in Maryland so we are technically also out of state. Sadly, I don't see this going away in two months, as much as I wish that were true. The virus won't be eradicated absent a vaccine, and that is not expected for a year to 18 months. No one has immunity to it. Even if the peak of the most cases happens in May, which is the best case scenario, even after that those people who haven't yet gotten it will still be at risk, which means social distancing will still be just as important.

To Jasmine, could you go back to Maryland for the wedding from out of state? Are you moving across the country?

Thank you so much! I love that us brides are supporting eachother. We have postponed our April 25th wedding to September 5th. After a year and a half of planning, I am so heartbroken.

Our wedding was also supposed to be April 25th, and we postponed to September 6th (Saturdays were already all booked). Praying things are okay by September and we both can still have the weddings we've been dreaming of!!
