This is my first time posting in here, which I mostly just read and not post. I decided to post because I’ve been seeing a lot of COVID related weddings and it has been worrying a lot of brides of course. I will be a COVID bride myself in March! That being said, I have no fear or doubts that the day will go well. I have prayed and blessings have came to help us from our families. Whoever comes or doesn’t, the day will still go as planned! We kept it small anyways, but if a couple of loved ones doesn’t come still just enjoy it! Life happens, but it makes us stronger to adapt. Prayer helps! Don’t let this pandemic stand in your way! Through Christ all things are possible! Just pray and ask. All this rescheduling until 2022, it’s like what’s the point? What is really important? The 1 day wedding or a lifetime of marriage? Me and my fiancé agreed on even without a wedding, we would still get married because that’s important to us. I know it hurts if some loved ones doesn’t come, there is always a way! They can be there virtually or just plan something later. No point of waiting years of being engaged, enjoy being married and living as one! I’m looking forward to marrying the love of my life regardless of the pandemic!😁 Just think positive, have faith, & find hope! It helps a lot to not being stressed out.

And I’ve been to a COVID wedding and know a couple of family members who have had it. If others can have COVID wedding successfully, even with a smaller crowd, so can you!🥰 Just encouraging you all!

Congratulations on moving forward with your wedding the way you want, but please remember everyone's situation is different. There are completely valid reasons to postpone, as well as completely valid reasons to be sad about how your COVID wedding went. It doesn't mean anyone thinks the wedding is more important than the marriage, but it's dismissive to act like it's not important at all. "What's the point of postponing?" My partner and I have been living together for over three years, have joint finances, and are in no rush to have kids. So in that case, what's the point of NOT postponing and just waiting for the wedding we really want to have? I appreciate that you're trying to bring some positivity, but there are plenty of brides here who will tell you that constantly hearing "you got married and that's all that matters" feels incredibly invalidating and unhelpful.

I agree every situation is different and I understand everybody wants their special day to be special. I just want people to see that even if it’s not according to plan, it can still be special! We always have to adjust to life and how we handle it is what makes the difference. Who knows what lies ahead in the future, so instead of waiting to find out just go for it!😁 That way you both can enjoy each other in marriage and not still waiting for it. If you both have decided to wait, then that’s you guys decision and I have no right to say don’t do that. But just giving those who doesn’t want to wait but are fearful, I’m encouraging to go for it!

This was so true in my own wedding in August in PA! Originally I wanted a family seaside wedding, but my fiancé hoped for a church wedding with a ballroom. We found a gorgeous old cathedral and a ballroom on the water with originally 280 guests.

After a date change, covid regulations and the like, we had a rooftop ceremony in a tropical heavenly garden and reception outdoors on the water with 104 members of our family and closest friends 💛 my aunt said God would look out for us and wow was that the truth!! Two days before my wedding, me and my now husband just said “we did everything we can and now we lift it up to God”. Our wedding was a miracle and I wouldn’t change a thing!!
Wishing all the best to the brides for safe, beautiful weddings no matter how big or small 🌷💐🌿

I definitely get where you are coming from! My husband and I got married in October on our anniversary date in case we couldn't have our big wedding in March 2021 and that was the best decision that we could've ever made. Whether we have to postpone or cancel March, what really mattered to us was getting married!

I think it's great that you have such a positive attitude and are leaning into your faith to get through this time and push forward with your marriage!
It's tough because there are really no easy or right answers that apply to everyone. Not so much on these forums, but I have heard people say "Couples who want to be married didn't postpone; couples who just wanted a wedding did." This couldn't be further from the truth, and there are a lot of complex reasons for both postponing and proceeding.
At the end of the day, of course being married to your partner is more important than a party. But weddings are more than that. They are milestones that are typically once-in-a-lifetime that you want to celebrate with your nearest and dearest, and not being able to have that moment is worthy of grief.

That’s true. I know there’s no easy answer because everyone’s situation is different, but hope still comes! It’s difficult times that require tough decisions. Weddings are a milestone agreed! Not saying there won’t be some disappointment, but we should turn to the positives to focus on when we are down. There will be times to be sad, but there are times to get back up and be joyful! There are always seeds of joy within distress. Just gotta find them☺️

Couldn’t agree with this more! Yes the marriage is the most important part, but it is heartbreaking to some us thinking about not having our families by our side on such an important day.
