Wedding Changes

Shana, on April 19, 2020 at 7:52 PM Posted in Community Conversations 0 6
My wedding is in October, I go back and forth between being very optimistic and just knowing things will be better by then and getting to have my dream wedding with all of our loved ones. Then I also get really stressed and worried about the situation and the unknown of what will happen. We have a small wedding planned already at less than 75 guests at most that we would be okay to shrink down to just our immediate family and bridal party which would be less than 20. Of course a wedding is all about marriage but I would also hate to not have my family and friends that are pretty much family witness it and hug and cry together, that’s what we all want! We want that love and emotion and being able to feel all of it with our closest loved ones! I feel awful for anyone that has had to cancel or postpone, I would get married on our date regardless even if it meant just myself and my husband and our officiant but it’s he at breaking to think about not being able to see the look on my moms face or my sister crying tears of joy seeing her big sister get married. Really it’s those little things I crave and really I’m just hopeful I’ll be able to get to have those little things on my day. Just had to vent that as I know others have it way worse and you start to feel bad for well, feeling bad! It’s okay to mourn about anything during this situation and we can’t be too hard on ourselves. Let’s just hope that we all get our dream weddings here soon one way or another.

    It’s so stressful not knowing what’s going to happen. I think that’s what’s making it worse for everyone. If we had a date when things would return to what is was, we could figure out how to move things around but so much is up in the air. We plan and plan and plan some more and have this grand idea of what our day will be like just to be disappointed is a major blow. I’m doing my best to stay hopeful and I’m glad you are to. I pray we get some concrete answers soon.

    I’m with you! Mentally, all of this is really bad for me. I’m Sep 26 so not far off from October. I’ve been engaged since July and we’ve been together since 2013. The thought of having to push back sucks. Once I finally felt better, my bridesmaid warns me that she could be pregnant in the postponed date. Which I understand I don’t want her to hold her life off for me, but I could lose a bridesmaid in the process which causes more stress.


    We still have so much time to see how all of this plays out. I’m praying every day and I hope your day works out ❤️

    Same date as you! Decide to elope with our parents and a few friends for now and will celebrate at some point in the future when we’re confident people can come safely and confidently. I’d rather not be anxious about if for the next 6 months!!

    I feel the exact same way. I understand that the marriage is the most important thing, not the event but I have been dreaming of this day for so long. I just want to be able to share it with everyone I love. We are having a big-ish wedding with about 130-140 people in late September. I’m really hoping things will be ok enough by then to have everything as planned, but if not we will move it. I’m just not willing to sacrifice all the hard work and planning that has gone into this. The thing I’m looking forward to the most is seeing my FH at the end of that aisle for the first time in my dress. I pray every night that we get to have that moment in front of all of our loved ones. ❤️

    Same Here. Although We Are Only Having 60 People, That Is Alot For My FH And I, And We Want To Be Able To Have Everyone There And Get That Full Experience. Ive Been optimistic Up Until This Past Weekend, But I Will Continue To Plan As Normal And Stay Positive. Lets Hope And Pray We Can All Have The Wedding Of Our Dreams Smiley heart

    I am so sorry! We rescheduled ours for November. Similar fears run through my mind.
