Wedding Postponed

We just pushed back our wedding this morning due to Covid-19. Most of our guest were still on board with coming but due to the ever changing nature of the virus we decided to push it back. We would have felt awful should someone had fallen ill due to coming to our wedding. We had quite a few guest that are considered “at risk”. I imagine that the venue would have completely cancelled shortly anyway but the uncertainty of all of it had me going nuts. My heart goes out to anyone else going through this same issue. Stay safe all!

I am sorry that you had to push it back but I think it’s the best thing to do for now

I am so sorry you are going through this now too! My countdown went from 38 days away to 171 days and I honestly feel defeated. This is so heartbreaking

That’s what I just did, it’s so heartbreaking and now no one wants to commit. Ugh

My guest. So far I have heard “it’s too far out to tell, we will see what’s going on with this virus”

Praying for you! I hope it all works out, really I do. I don’t wish any of this strew on anyone. I just hope that everyone at this point stays healthy.

I’m sorry to hear this. Did your venue allow you to choose another day months ahead or did you choose another venue?

They allowed us to choose another day without penalty but the catch was it had to be within 6 months or our day

My heart goes out to you Melissa!! So glad you made smart and safe decisions, and that you've locked down your new date!
And thank you for sharing your personal experience postponing! I know that hearing firsthand accounts has been the biggest help and stress reliever to other couples in the same position right now.
