September 2020 Covid 19

Katie, on April 13, 2020 at 10:57 PM Posted in Community Conversations 1 35
Hello I hope everyone is doing well! And your families are healthy!


just another covid bride over here...sorry long post...my wedding is September 12, 2020. I emailed my venue here in CO- they are willing to hold a date for us in 2021; which originally made me feel a sense of relief. But now, I’m worried about what to do. My whole side of the family is on the East coast and varying ages we’re all planning on traveling in. I asked my mom her opinion (who then told me to ask my aunt and uncle; this is a week after I asked her to please help me talk to some family members for me besides the point more of a vent) but she did not give any answers at all. My FMIL is very supportive and wants us to do what’s best BUT I finally got her opinion out of her and she thinks we should postpone. No one can plan any of the micro events that they want to (not that I feel like I have to do them but I know my sister and FMIL is sad they can’t/ are nervous). I’m sorry this is so long. I feel like I have no one to talk to about this stuff. My fiancé is the most supportive but I still feel bad and don’t know what’s the right thing to do....

What is everyone else doing?

    My wedding is scheduled Sept 6! I feel so much uncertainty right now, but my plan is to hold out as long as possible. My fiancé and I have decided not to make any decisions until July. We are praying that this will clear up and don’t want to postpone unless we are absolutely sure!

    Hey it's ok to not know, this is a crazy time and no one really knows. We're September 19th and today we kinda talked about still getting married on our date and just having the full wedding at a later date. We will hold out til June to see if anything changes but at this point I'm just going with the flow. We've been engaged since May of 2018 and I can't stand the thought of waiting another year to get married. Just make a plan B and wait until about June to decide.

    Date twins! We’re doing the same thing and waiting until July to see how things play out.


    Unfortunately, there’s no way to predict what everything’s going to be like a week from now nevermind 5 months from now. Fingers crossed!

    Michelle thank you so much for the advice and we’re going to follow that idea! That’s a good plan too to have a full wedding later! I appreciate it and I hope for the best for you and your fiancé!

    There's no way to plan I'm 9/26/2020 and i'm waiting till July to make the decision because I'm getting married in Jamaica. the hotel is 100% refundable if cancelled 3 days prior to wedding. I praying we are good. I honestly think we will be and I feel like everyone needs something positive to look forward to. I personally Learned life is short and seen it first hand losing quite a few people to Covid but I wanna celebrate their lives and celebrate our new union.

    My wedding is September 12th, 2020. We are still planning like normal. We think by then we will be ok and able to have the wedding we want. Right now we have 120 invited, we were planning on adding a few more but due to this we have decided not to just to be on the safe side. If anything we will upgrade food and bar to meet the minimum. Honestly I am not too worried. We also have quite a few people coming from upstate New York (like way upstate), Michigan, Florida, Louisiana, and Indiana. Most of them are still planning on coming.

    I’m getting married 9/25 this year. Our venue doesn’t have an act of god clause or nothing about cancelling if the venue can’t have the wedding that day. They have a clause about moving the date but it needs to be agreed on with both parties. I’m kinda freaking out if we can’t have this wedding and they already have re booked six months of wedding what their date available would be and kinda would prefer to cancel and elope at that point. Any one have a similar situation?

    We are planning on getting married 9/18/2020. We are holding out hope that things will start to improve by then. It is really hard to know what to do and we are feeling anxious! But I think it is too soon to say by September how things will look. I never could have imagined in my wildest dreams this would be something we are faced with, but for now we are hoping for the best!

    Our wedding is September 13th 2020, We are waiting until the end of June to make a decision, because I have a lot of family from out of state that i really want to be there and with all this going on plus the travel bands there is no way for them to come. So my advice would be to just hold out and see what happens in the next few months. If it gets worst we are going to move our wedding until next September.

    September 19th - we are still going ahead and have shelved the discussion until later this month/early next month. So much is changing weekly (even daily!) that it's so hard to say. The past few days I have been a bit more hopeful that we will be able to proceed as planned. Every day we learn more about this virus, and there's a lot of days in between now and September.

    As of right now I am trying very hard to just not think about wedding stuff at all. We already had almost all of our vendors booked when everything started unraveling. Besides my fiance figuring out what he and his men are wearing, we don't have much to do until mid-June anyway. So for now just watching and waiting seems to be the best option.

    I am thinking about emailing my DOC to see what her thoughts are. I'm sure she has a better line of communication with venues and vendors about everything going on than I do!

    My wedding is 9/19, and I've decided to wait until closer before I have to consider postponing. I feel like normally I'd be a wreck, but I don't want to stress and not have to worry about at the end; and I definitely don't want to postpone and end up not needing to.

    My wedding is September 19th. We both reside in Florida and will be getting married in Long Island, NY. I am trying my best to not think about all the wedding planning as all our vendors are booked prior to this virus happening. The only thing I have to do is finalize my invitation. All my bridesmaids are all coming from different states/country even so it's even harder for me to think what will happen 5 months from now. I'm hopeful this whole pandemic shenanigans will be over the soonest before we know it and we can all push through our next chapter of our lives! It'll definitely be more memorable and meaningful as we all going to share the same anniversaries in our future (*fingers crossed*)! All my best to all September 2020 brides!! XO!

    We were initially June 13, but decided today to postpone to September 26th. We are still getting married in June but having a small, intimate ceremony and then doing a larger ceremony and reception in September. We are hoping we don’t have to go through postponing again because it’s already been a bit of a nightmare trying to coordinate everything. I’m a medical student so our timing is limited when we’d even be able to postpone to again 😬


    I think the bottom line is no one knows where we will be in the next few months or even next one month. We just have to wait it out and hope for the best!

    We rescheduled 9-19-20 to 2021. There is too much stress and unknown and people’s health on the line (& money as well with needing to get vendors lined up on a new date that works for them all). I couldn’t spend the next few months agonizing over it or not having a new date that would work for us if we waited. I think it depends on your wedding size, location, where guests are traveling from (we are NYC and a lot of international guests). I just had to follow my gut feeling. I personally can’t imagine restrictions not being in place for such large scale events & people feeling 100% comfortable and that wasn't going to work for us on such an important date. Best of luck ❤️
