My husband and I eloped on our original date this May with just our parents and a few close friends, and rescheduled our wedding and reception with all of our guests for June 2021. We're in our mid-30s and probably need to conceive within the next 18 months or so if we are going to have a biological child, which would be our first (and likely only). There's no telling if we'll even be able to have the wedding we want next year anyway, so I'd hate to push off trying for a baby for this event that might not even happen (again) and then only have a couple months to conceive and be in a similar position pregnancy-wedding wise in 2022.
I'd love to wear my dress again, although I have maybe a couple inches of wiggle room at most so would likely only be able to wear it early on, before I start to show or several months postpartum. I'm fine with getting an inexpensive reception dress or something from Lulu's at the last minute if I'm pregnant and need flexibility with sizing and timing. I have no idea when I'll start showing (it would be my first pregnancy), whether I'll have morning sickness, or what my pregnancy will look or feel like. Dress and drinking aside, I'm not sure how it would affect our wedding or me being able to enjoy the event.
I'd love to hear from anyone who had experience being pregnant while being a bride or who had a close relationship with a pregnant bride and what that was like for them.
