The hard decision..

Erika, on April 2, 2020 at 9:26 AM Posted in Community Conversations 0 7
Our wedding date is june 6th.. obviously it might not happen at this point. We added a second stand by date of sept 5th... (future in law flipped out for sept 26th) so labor day weekend it is. Smiley sad



Is it weird to get married on the 6th in a private parents only thing. And get blessed on the 26th... we just love 6.6.2020 and now it's on hold.. his parents hate the fact of getting married then blessed later on and having a party. But I'm an emotional reck like I'm sure all of you are.

    I’m all in favor for doing what makes you and your FH. Don’t try to please everyone else. Do something small on the 6th and then have a celebration of tour marriage in September if that’s what the two of you want. Good luck!

    We're planning on something similar. Our date is July 11th and even if we don't get to have our big day, we're still getting married that day even if it's just us two and having a party later.

    My FH and I postponed our June 6th 2020 wedding to September 6th 2020. We are still going to get married in June with just our parents in my parents backyard and then in September we will have a ceremony and reception like originally planned. Do whatever makes you happy 💕

    Hi Erika,

    I'm sorry your wedding is on hold due to circumstances outside of your control. I agree with the other responses above: You should make the decision that feels right for YOU. It's unfortunate that your future in-laws have so many strong opinions re: what you should or should not do.

    Regardless, this is a great time to think about your Plan B. Some June brides are waiting a little bit longer to make the call, but everyone's situation is different. Have you decided on a deadline to officially postpone the larger wedding plan?

    Personally, I'm a Labor Day weekend bride (it was the end of August back in 2013). I had mixed feelings about using a holiday weekend, but I decided that the people who wanted to spend the day with us would be there. That's exactly what happened. Many of our guests were traveling from out of state, so the extra day gave everyone a bit more time for travel. All I'm saying is that it all worked out! Smiley ring

    You aren't alone right now! There are many June brides talking about their COVID-19 concerns in these discussions:

    - June 2020 brides: freaking out?

    - June and July Brides do not stress Covid-19!!!

    WeddingWire has created resources that may be helpful as you navigate the planning and/or postponement process here: Our COVID-19 Weddings Advice Guide. You'll find articles like this one: What to Do About Your Wedding During the Coronavirus Pandemic.

    Hope this helps! Smiley heart

    We've decided to still get married June 6th. I feel like I need to call it now. I've been getting family phone calls, and a lot of people worried. I just think people still wont want to be in large groups only having a month gap between a semi lock down. (If it's lifted at the end of April).
    So we will have the big party and blessing in sept. And honestly you're right. People will be there who want to spend time with us! 😊 we've already taken our new photos to be sent out. Trying to make light of the situationThe hard decision.. 1

    As much as you want to show respect for his parents, it's ultimately up to you and FH. This is an abnormal situation that calls for flexibility. Do what makes you happy. 💜
