Still upset

My husband and I were supposed to have a 150 guest wedding at a banquet hall June 26, 2020 but it was obviously canceled due to covid (we're in new york and things were still opening back up from lockdown at the time). We still got married that day but had only a couple people in our backyard to see it. We rescheduled for June 12th of this year but I'm not hopeful that its going to happen and if it does, we won't be able to have all the people we want and there won't be any dancing. I don't want to keep postponing this year after year but I'm still just really upset that we couldn't have the wedding we planned for for 2 years. My husband and I also want to start a family and I don't want to be a pregnant bride either. I just wanted to talk to someone else thats going through this cause were all dealing with this during a terrible time.

    Hi Danielle, fellow covid bride (married) here! The stress is so unbelievable with wedding planning during covid- such a moving target!! Are you near state lines where a venue in another state is possible? We moved our wedding outdoors literally 3 weeks before our wedding to meet guidelines. I think of our wedding of heaven but the planning was hell!

    Have you considered an outdoor only wedding? More people will likely show up. I wouldnt hold off life changing stuff you want such as kids tdue to a vow renewal and reception. This really is unfortunate. COVID really is the worst.

    I think June of this year is going to look a LOT different from June of last year.

    The vaccine is out, and it's being distributed.
    I know it's stressful, but try to breathe, and not make any drastic decisions until at least mid March.

    I too postponed my 6/6/20 wedding to 6/12/21. We originally invited 115 guests and all deposits were paid. I just spoke with my coordinator today and if we cancel, we could get most of our money back. It’s so hard, who knows what things will be like in June, but all of the unknowns make this so much more stressful...like what if I send invitations again and then have to cut the guest list last minute? (nys allows up to 50 people currently, but my contract is minimum 80). We are most likely just going to cancel 😭😭😭 and do something tiny. I am devastated. I’m 37 years old, I cannot postpone another year. I am right there with you!

    It's crossed my mind but I'm worried that all the outdoor venues are already booked for that date by now. Then I think about pushing it into fall but then the whole kid thing comes up and I don't know if pregnancy will be an issue then. So unsure. Thanks for the comment, I feel like family and friends don't understand how bothered I am by this.

    I hear you about the invitations! We sent ours out right before everything shut down and then spent more money on a change the date card when we postponed. Here's to hoping June looks better for us! And frankly for a more normal life 🙃

    I know exactly how you feel! My wedding was supposed to be oct 24,2020. We decided to cancel as well for the same reason. We did elope but its not the same! We have yet to pick a new date because we dont know when normalcy will happen. We also want to have a baby and I refuse to be a pregnant bride as well. We worked hard for 16 months to have the wedding of our dreams to only have it ripped from under our feet. It sucks and it hurts bad!!!!! I still have my unworn wedding dress in my closet for the past 8 months waiting for it to be sold!


    Unfortunately I dont have any advice just wanted to share and let you know you are not alone in this.
    Best of wishes❤️

    Thank you for your comment. Your situation sounds exactly like mine (I also never got the chance to wear my dress because I had no place to get it altered with everything closed) and it helps with not feeling as alone ❤

    Hey, I am also live in NY. My fiancee and I were supposed to get married on June 27th 2020. We rescheduled for June 26th 2021. I totally understand what you are feeling. It hard to change plans when you had this set idea or image of what that day was going to be like. After going through a lot of emotions, I finally got to a place where I am okay. I am okay with getting married on June 26th and have who we can there. I am hopeful that by spring things will be better. I am just taking it a day at a time.

    I feel you girl! Our original wedding was July 2020 (we still did the backyard thing as well). We postponed the party in April 2020 for April 2021 (hey a year should be enough time, right?) and so far it's not looking promising (we're in Illinois where restrictions have been tough). If we can't have it I don't think we're going to have anything at all because I'm tired of putting life on hold for a party.
