Starting to feel it😩 July 17 Anxious Bride!

Lindsay, on April 6, 2020 at 10:22 PM Posted in Community Conversations 0 12
I am really starting to get nervous. A few weeks ago my gut was telling me everything would be ok and now my gut is starting to shift and it’s telling me it’s not and you know what they say your gut is never wrong. Although this time I hope it is. I am a completely heart broken bride besides COVID cancelling my bachelorette and most likely my bridal shower I lost my
Mother in Law two weeks ago. We had no time to even grieve as we were not able to have a funeral. July 17 means so much to us now because she knew we were getting married that day and we do plan to somehow. I am just struggling so much with deciding if we should post pone the wedding itself. There wasn’t many back up date options with my venue and the thought of scheduling another year out scares me so much my fiancé’s grandma passed away last year and this year his mom I truly do not want to know what another year would do! Our back up date is August 21st but I am not sure if that’s safe either. Any advice would be great as I am just full of emotions and cannot make a decision. I am going to wait the month to decide but just curious what others are doing? Also every single piece of my decor has my date on it😩 I spent way to much money on it so I don’t plan on redoing it. My heart goes out to all the brides going through this as well🙏🏻💙

    I'm July 11th and am not planning to postpone at this point. If anything, projections are starting to show slow improvement and if you look at University of Washington's data it supports that. I wouldn't make any changes just yet.

    I’m so sorry about your MIL. Take some time to grieve, even if you can’t have a proper funeral. It’s important. I’m hoping things will be ok by July but it’s really hard to say at this point. I would choose to do some acceptance and check in with your vendors to see what their policies are with what’s written in your contracts about rescheduling. I think preparing yourself mentally and emotionally will only help you to deal with this. Hang in there!

    I would hold off postponing yet, wait until at least May to make that decision. Things will get better but these next 2 weeks don't look good. But that was to be expected. They have been saying these 2 weeks are going to be bad but that then things start to go down and look better. I think by the end of this month things might start to look lots better. Also look up your state's figures for when the peak will occur; ours is at the end of April. I am so sorry for your loss.

    My deepest condolences about your MIL. I hope she rest in peace. Maybe you could consider taking time to grieve and allow the wedding to be postponed to create a better vibe for the wedding.

    I am still optimistic about my July date as well. However, I’ve chosen for no guests, but instead a destination beach wedding. So, it’s easier for me than people who invited guests.

    Oh gotcha. I think we are about 2 weeks behind (we think) from where you guys are. And your welcome, I know it's so hard to plan things right now, but we will all get through it.

    We have the same date Smiley smile I’m feeling the stress as well— but my fiancé and I are going to wait it out. Our venue actually isn’t canceling or postponing any June or July dates at the moment anyway. Hoping for the best!! Best of luck to you!
