Rescheduled bride support :(

I am in a similar situation. Already had to postpone once from May to now October. Our venue has stayed closed and are renovating their hotel. We decided to move our wedding to my in-laws who fortunately have a stunning backyard. We have been together going on 8.5 years so we decided we could not push our marriage out any longer and will wed with just our immediate family. We are hoping to plan a party (reception) if/when feasible or do a vow renewal depending on how much time passes. Hopefully things get better for all of us! We all definitely got very unlucky! Trying to think of the positives at this point and soak up any joy that is left by getting married with our family by our side!

View Quoted Comment Hi Danielle! I'm sorry you guys have had to deal with multiple reschedules but I'm glad you guys have a feasible back up plan that you are content with! Backyard wedding sounds beautiful ♥️. Good luck to you and your future hubby. Enjoy your beautiful day!

View Quoted Comment Thank you! Good luck to you and your fiancé as well! I think us “Covid brides” should at least try and realize our wedding day will be beautiful no matter what...even if it doesn’t look like the day we once had in mind!

I guess I’m going to count myself lucky and suck it up regarding the last minute changes I’m making. My state (NC) acknowledges that a wedding is a religious ceremony and can’t be restricted due to the first amendment, so my ceremony is going as planned. It’s at a park amphitheater with lots of standing space to spread out. But my reception cannot happen at the park because it’s restricted to the 50 outdoor gathering limit. So that’s being moved to my parents yard, and I’m having to find tables and chairs, etc. and work on cleaning up the yard and house, while also getting our house ready for my bridesmaids to stay with me and get ready for the wedding.

Aww thank you! I'm glad to hear your courthouse wedding was still lovely, we all deserve to have a special day despite COVID!

I’m in the same boat!! We got legally married this July in my parents backyard with 30 people and everyone else on zoom. Didn’t wear my dress nor did my girls and the guys didn’t wear their tuxes because we weren’t even sure if our bridal party would be able to come the numbers didn’t increase until last minute so we didn’t have time to get alterations. I was extremely sad about not walking down the aisle in my dress but we really just wanted to be married after waiting two years already. We pushed our celebration til next July so that we can have everyone who couldn’t come and everyday I worry about it being in the same boat. I’m trying to plan once again for next year but I keep getting worried that I’m gonna plan and it will be an issue again. At the end of the day I really don’t want to keep pushing a party. I just want to wear my dress and move on to the next stage of my life it is way to stressful just sitting around and waiting for things to be better but I keep feeling like it will all be a waste if I can’t have everyone I want and I do not want to start all over looking for another venue because I already have a lot of money in my venue. It just gets to be to much if I didn’t have all this money there I would be ok with just letting it go and finding another place to host the party but that’s not the case so I basically just have to wait it out and see and hope for the best. Either way I think we’re just going to do it because it’s just to much waiting at this point when we really want to move on to the next chapter in life but I am so with you on being worried and feeling nervous all we can do is hope and pray the restrictions are eased by next year and that things are a little better. All the best!!💙

I'm sorry! This is definitely a weird time in world history and an especially weird time for couples trying to get married. To mitigate the pain of rescheduling, we are just getting married in November and but won't entertain planning the big ceremony until things start looking better.

I find it funny when people ask "Is that actually what you want?" It's like uhhhhhh, of course not! We are all just trying to make the best of a situation that is super unique.

God bless your family, I pray everything works out

We postponed our October wedding until next October back in July. Was def a tough choice, but looking at the bigger picture I know it’s for the best. And even if it’s not 100% clear, we should certainly have less restrictions.


We also got legally married when I lost my job due to COVID. The hardest thing I’m struggling with is I feel like it’s not going to be the same, which I know isn’t true. But you just gotta roll with the punches, and keep your head up. We’re all gunna come out on top. Of the cake. Literally.I’ll see myself out.

We also got legally married in March and just had our minimony a couple wks ago since we didn't get to celebrate. We were already engaged for 3 years. Cancelled our wedding after postponing from 08.22 to 10.10. So many things have changed and decisions to make!! Replanning a wedding has been exhausting. We're doing an adventure/elopement photoshoot in a few weeks to mix things up and then will slowly start planning a big wedding celebration/vow renewal for 2022 fall. No matter what, we'll all find a unique way to eventually have our special day!

We were originally planning our wedding for September 2021, but pushed back the date to September 2022 when our kids’ school closed.

I know how you feel! Our original wedding was supposed to be 4/17/20 but we postponed to 7/3/20 in hopes the heat would calm things down. When it didn't we decided to go ahead with a minimony with our immediate family on 7/3/20 and moved the big wedding to 7/2/21.
I felt a little sad about pushing it so far away, espically seeing as how some people are still finding ways to have their wedding. But I think if we would have kept it to this year I would have had family members who would not have felt safe coming. I'm praying that things work out because I was just such an emotional mess with having to keep rescheduling and I don't think I can handle going through that again. Depending on what restrictions are in place next year we may just go ahead with it, but for now I'll just pray and think positively!

View Quoted Comment Wishing you all the best Meagan! I felt the same as you about people being able to just push through and do their weddings as planned and we really tried but it was stressing me out so bad about people not being able to come. But we can get through this! Let's hope for a quick and fun year!
