To postpone or not postpone.. 10/25/20

Agreeing with the PP that I'm seeing. Call your venue and maybe your other vendors too to express your concern, and maybe work with them to solidify a date/a general date where you will make the call. That way you know your options and can have peace of mind. Did you get wedding insurance?

If worst comes to worst, maybe do one of those creative quarantine weddings (drive-in wedding, a parade, Zoom wedding) and then see if your venue will let you hold a reception later on once we get closer to "normal". That's kind of my plan. Already rescheduled to August (we were supposed to get married this coming weekend :'( ) so we don't want to have to wait any longer to wed lol. That way you can still keep your date! Best of luck

We are in the same boat. 10/10/2020 bride here. However, due to having family who are high risk, we are going to have a small ceremony that day, and celebrate with everyone next year at some time.

I can totally relate. We are scheduled to get married on Sept 26, 2020. I go back and forth with my emotions. Some days I'm so down and frustrated because I feel like I cant get get excited about it or even finish up wedding planning because we really just dont know what to expect. My FH and I already planned a smaller wedding (50) to begin with and we really just wanted to have a simple and beautiful wedding. Theres so much outpouring from people saying to postpone it and such. We wanted to keep the date because it is our actual anniversary. Anyways, I've just been taking it day by day and moving forward with the wedding until I am notified otherwise by government. Best wishes to all brides going this. I'm so glad that there has been a forum like this to discuss thoughts/feelings regarding this. It feels like when you communicate with people you are close with, they just dont get it. It's not because they dont want to get it but they arent going through it, so it's always great to not feel alone with stuff like this. Best of luck to all the summer/fall 2020 brides!! ❤

I think you guys are push out pretty good, I hope all works out for the good. Congratulations to you both.

View Quoted Comment Yes! I feel this so much. It almost feels like I can't let myself get too excited about our big day because I don't know that it'll be happening for sure. Our original date was in 2019 but we postponed because of a sudden death in the family and we weren't ready for any celebrating and now this is happening.. It's so hard not to get overwhelmed. Just keep reminding yourself about why you're planning the wedding in the first place and let the love you have with your partner keep you calm.

View Quoted Comment You're so right! 😭💜

Our wedding is planned for 10/10/20 and we have no plans to change the date. Ours too is relatively small at about 45 people. I'm trying to hold out hope and believe we are safe. We're having our wedding the Keys and they are set to reopen at the end of the month. The part I'm concerned about is our event Manager never completed our contracts (back in February) and the resort has been closed since mid-March. I've reach out and was assured a month ago our space was still "on-hold" but until our contract is signed, we're in limbo. All our other vendors were contracted and paid for while we were still waiting on the Resort.

If you've been keeping up with the news most states are slowing reopening and will reach phase three will be mid-late summer. Phase 3 for most of these states are almost back to (what we consider) normal. I know California is a little different, but I feel confident they too will get their act together and be ready.

Our wedding is planned for 10/10 just a couple weeks before you and in the Keys which is planned to reopen to tourists June 1st. Just have faith, I'm sure it will all work out.
