Staying Positive

Don’t panic yet. You have time before you need to make a decision. Try to stay positive!

I think your date sounds pretty secure. So try not to let it get to you

Hi Sept 12, 2020 here and my mind has raced a bit with this. Both of our parents asked the dreaded question too. My FH and I took a nice socially distant walk on Sunday and talked about it. We decided we have until July to make a decision and there will be no panicking before hand. We have both overcome some major things in our lives apart and together and have faith no matter what it will all work out as it is meant to be. What I have decided is there will be no shower because trying to plan any additional things is not ideal right now. We will also postpone paying any more to pur vendors most of which we have paid in full already but what money we have left today can go to a backup plan if needed. Just breathe and stay in today sweetie.

View Quoted Comment Thank you, I'm definitely feeling a lot better. I'm going to wait until May to see how things turn out. I really hope things turn out well with your wedding plans. It's good that you and your FH are on top of back up plans. I'm supposed to have a big party in July, but that might get moved. We'll see. That's again for the positive vibes. I definitely needed it

I feel the same way. 2020 was suppose to be my year too. But I wouldn’t make a final decision until May. Things could change from now and then

I am in the completely same boat as you! I was so so excited for 2020. I was supposed to graduate in May as well and ceremonies have been postponed. That alone was enough of a disappointment, but now I am worried about my Sept 5th wedding too!

View Quoted Comment Hopefully by summer this will all be over. I'm being extremely positive. I hope you and I are both able to get married this year! 🤞🤞

I hope everything will be okay again by August! Something you could try to help limit your anxiety about this is to come up with plans for what happens if we can only have 50 people, 25 people, 10 people, etc. Even if you only share them with your fiancè, it can help give you a sense of control over the situation, which makes it less scary. It worked for me, anyway.

I'm sorry, how you are feeling is totally understandable! It's still your year, you will graduate and you will get married, but of course you're upset that things look so different from how you imagined. Things may yet be back to normal by August, here's a discussion where other August couples are talking about their worries and feelings - August 2020 Brides, I need you!
