Postponed Wedding Maybe again...

Carlie, on April 24, 2020 at 4:53 PM Posted in Community Conversations 0 6

Hello everyone!


I know I am not alone here but is anyone else feeling discouraged? We were supposed to be married on April 17th but we had to postpone. We postpone to June 27th thinking last weekend in June would be good and since it was the only Saturday left at our venue open... now however, I am again feel confused, frustrated and stressed by this all thinking June might not happen. Not to mention, I feel selfish since I know people are at serious risk because of this disease. People tell me not to worry about it and that it is out of my control, and therein lies the problem. It is out of my control. Completely. I said to my Fiance the other day, “As bad as it sounds, I feel like I can’t even be excited for our wedding because I don’t want to get my hopes up again.” After 18 months of planning, and a significant financial and emotional investment, the biggest and best day of our lives is completely up to chance once again...

    Hey Carlie. I'm pretty much in the same exact boat as you are. My original wedding date was April 18th. We rescheduled for June 20th thinking it would definitely be fine by then. Now, it is just another waiting game. I'm not going to let the enemy win again though....we will get married on June 20th even if it just the two of us with the preacher and our parents. We will then have a vow renewal next year. I've really been struggling with this terribly. It is out of our control, but that still doesn't deny us the right to be upset.
    My fiance had the ring since the holidays of 2018, but did not propose until June 2019. I suppose we should have had a shorter engagement 😕
    I know it really sucks! I'm sorry. I wish I knew the right words to say.

    Aww thanks! I hope all works out with you! We have been engaged since November of 2018. He waited until after his brothers wedding to do it so it didn’t take away from his spotlight and then my sister got married in 2019 so we said we would get married in 2020 to not take away from her... now this happens. I wish I had the words for you too but sadly I don’t!

    I wouldn't mind the idea of postponing, but the hardest thing about this all is my age and the desire to start a family. I turned 33 yesterday and it was very depressing knowing I may be 34 before we are able to start trying for our family 😥

    I am literally in the same boat. We were supposed to get married this Sunday. We postponed it to July and the other day postponed it until October. I honestly have no motivation to plan or attach myself to the new date. I am Christian and know and believe that God has a reason for everything. I am not doubting his work because it's out of my control. I just don't want to disappointed once again. Just remain hopeful, everything will work out the way intended! Wishing you all the best!

    I feel you. I am going to be 36 in June and my FH will be 49 in September, we are going to go ahead with the wedding in July. As a Christian I know it’s in Gods timing but I would rather pop out my first kid before 37. My fiancé and I aren’t getting any younger and he has a 12yr old child already, but we wanted to have at least one.

    My wedding was a June 20 and I postponed for August 7. I think I may not even be able to do august 7 and will have to do it next year.
