Anyone else feel like your whole vision for your wedding went down the drain. I'm still excited about getting married but having so many family members being high risk i realize my vision for my wedding won't happen till another few years when all this calms down. I already rescheduled it for next year but i realize that's probably not a long enough gap. I also realize i probably sound selfish for complaining but after so many years of hardship this was the first positive and loving event in years in my life. Just wondering if anyone else felt the same.

    Hi Maria! I understand. We've had so many difficulties getting married. Now we have given up the big wedding to elope, with all the frills, though. We do plan on having a very large wedding reception in late fall of 2021.

    Yes, it's so hard to plan during these times! It's either keep replanning to make the new date you want work or postpone farther out.

    I just started my planning and locked in my date/put in my first deposit for the venue. I was so excited for that first step and even ordered my save the dates. My sister thinks I should postpone until 2022 because she doesn't think things will get back to normal by my date.

    Hope everything works out for the both of us!

    We told each other, if we can cancel and replan an entire wedding during a global pandemic, we can do and get through anything 🤍🤍🤍 it’ll all work out.

    I personally think covid will still linger on 2021. I don’t know any friend who wants to get the vaccine.

    Planning a wedding during a pandemic isn’t for weak! Lol! Totally get what your saying & feeling. My fiancé & I have been through so much (individually & as a couple), we’re excited about FINALLY getting married & COVID happens. Our vision might need to be adjusted but the wedding will go on! 105 to Mrs Stern!

    Yes and no. My vision was to elope. Now with COVID, my future in laws who claim to be scared of the virus are now insisting that they be present when FH and I exchange vows. Not looking forward to having any guests.

    I'm in the same boat! We were originally going to have a 2020 wedding but decided 2021 even before covid was even a thing. Once we started planning and making payments, etc., covid hit and we were devastated but had high hopes that it was a thing wouldn't last throughout the year and here we are. I have elder family members VERY important to me that I wanted to be part of this moment before it was too late and now they most likely won't show up. Understandable but still heartbreaking. We'll just have to see what happens.

    Hi Maria! I feel the same exact way. It’s so tough planning during this time. We have our wedding planned for May 2021, but have been thinking about postponing to 2022 just to be safe since we have elderly guests and international ones as well. We think rescheduling might be a nice break for us! Since we have most of the planning done we can relax a bit and be ready for 2022!
