Hi All!
Covid bride here... Our wedding was scheduled for May 25, 2020, but had to be canceled because NYS was in a shutdown. We postponed with less than 60 days to go and rescheduled for October 11, 2020.
We had to cancel again with 60 days to go. My fiance attends a local college and they gave them choice between having our wedding and going to school out of concern for fellow students' well being, even though NY has loosened wedding restrictions and we could have gone ahead with it otherwise.
So, now we're back another 400+ days, rescheduled for October 10, 2021. All our vendors have been AWESOME through all these changes, and worked with us to make a date that worked for everyone. The sole exception is that the wedding coordinator we loved at our venue quit, so we had to find a new one, but even that worked out fine. Our wedding party has stuck by us, everything has been great.
But I'm just not feeling it any more. The wind is out of my sails. We got so close two times, and it almost seems like it's not supposed to happen. I was widowed once before, and I try not to be superstitious but it feels like I'm not meant to be happy. Plus with the planning done and everything moved, I don't need to worry about anything--just sit around and wait another 13 months. We've mixed it up some, revamping our original vision, so we'll have a smaller wedding but much nicer for our guests. But even that isn't getting me excited.
I know the point is us getting married. But in fact, we eloped almost a year ago, so this really is just planning a party with a little commitment ceremony ahead of time.
Just needed to blow off steam! Any other Covid brides feeling the same?
Thanks!
