Postponed weddings for next year

I’m sorry to hear that. We postponed our April wedding to September of this year.


I know lots of couples are getting married or eloping, and doing a party or reception later. But for me the magic is gone if I’m already married.
I’m sure whatever you decide will be perfect. I couldn’t wait that long tho.

We just finished postponing our November wedding to October 2021. It sucks - it really does. A lot of people told us we should just elope this year and have a party next year, but I just don't want to. I think it's a personal choice and it needs to be the choice you're happy with and not one that anyone else tries to (however kindly) encourage. I feel the same though - most the planning is done, so it's more of a waiting game, but I think once we finally get there, the wedding will be one amazing day! Good luck to you!

Sounds frustrating i can imagine however you made the best and secure decison...especailly everything that's been happening this year...elope now and celebrate later

View Quoted Comment I agree...I cant wait for all those memories of our special day!! I wish you the best

View Quoted Comment We aren't but a lot of people think we should

I like the idea of getting married or eloping on the original date and then having the celebration later on

Hi Luyando,
