Wedding postpones

Has anyone getting married in October, November or December postponed their wedding yet ? We want our wedding in October like planned but we are thinking we may have to postpone it. We just don’t want to jump the gun if we don’t have to yet.

    November 14 2020 Texas bride here. I was started to get down with the thought of having to postpone, but continue to plan and do my centerpieces has kept me excited. I will plan if I need to postpone by July/August to a date in 2021. I really would love to still get married on 11/14 May at the court house if things slowly to open up, and have an actual ceremony and reception by next year. I’m not really into the zoom/Facebook live wedding, and want to actually be able to celebrate with friends and family in a gathering even if wearing masks is what it will take.

    We are still planning towards our 10/17/20 date as of now. Just remaining positive, but realistic. We do have a plan b in place, city hall or backyard wedding on our date, then reception later. We will decide prior to invite time July/August whether we will postpone. We are fortunate that most of our final payments aren’t due until 30 days out. For any new vendors we’re hiring I’m ensuring that I negotiate terms should we need to postpone or cancel. Just hard to know what the right thing to do is yet but remaining hopeful!

    “We’re date twins Marisa! Yes it’s an important date for us to get married on and I really don’t want to wait until next year as we want to try to start having a baby 4 months after the wedding. I can’t have a baby and then the reception it would be too much for me and I have always dreamed about a big wedding.”

    That’s awesome! It’s a really important day for us too! It will be our 6 year anniversary from when we first met.
    That’s awesome you want to start a family! Fingers crossed we’ll be out of this crisis we’re facing and able to get on with our lives as planned!

    Ours is 10/24 were pretty much done with planning just little things here and there. I hope we don’t have to postpone the venue we have and LOVE is booked into 2022. We’re proceeding with caution, but won’t pull the trigger until summer.

    I was 10.10, we just postponed ours to February 2021. I really hope this whole situation is gone or at least under control.

    Our wedding is 10/16/2020 in PA. I would love to postpone to fall 2021 or even 2022, as the stress of not knowing is taking a toll. Our venue is not allowing postponements yet, so just waiting at this point.

    Our wedding was this Saturday (April 25th). Had to postpone it to 10/10/20 which is actually our engagement date so that worked out. We are waiting until August or so to resend invites. We are trying to be optimistic, but thinking we will most likely have to cancel our wedding and just do something super intimate. We have a 80 person wedding and will cut it down to 20 or so or just elope. We don’t want friends and family to have to reschedule hotel rooms/flights again. Good luck everyone! Keep positive!

    Ours is 10/10 and we have a plan B, we have a decently large guest list and I’m panicking because we don’t know when and if we should postpone. We think we’re gonna wait until end of July when we would send out our invites

    10/31/20 here, really unsure what to do because I am in Ohio and we are opening on 5/1/20 and really haven't been hit hard. I feel it might be too early to decide and I think it depends on what state you are in as far as deciding to post phone or not. AK has only had 9 deaths total WV barely any. I am not sure how I feel about the whole vibe of 2020 either. But with that being said. Until we have a vaccine we have to learn to live with this 'beast' . What if it comes back in spring of 2021 then we are in the same boat as now but maybe not as bad. I think as states are starting to re-open we will have enough time for October brides to see how things go. If it is still bad in July/August then I guess can reschedule. I really don't want to wait over a year to get married or do a court house either. I just know if I post phoned now and things were semi normal in October. I would shoot myself for rescheduling already. I guess if you are a bride who doesn't want their wedding tied to the pandemic of 2020 re-scheduling is the way to go. But on the flip side what a story to tell your grandkids we survived and got married in the year of the worst pandemic since 1918!

    We are set for Halloween and have no plans to change it. We have been very intentional about not stressing about it until we have to. If we have to cross the bridge we will when the time comes.

    We just got engaged and want an October wedding. We are waiting until 2021 even though our wedding is very very small. Like elopement packages small 10 people tops. We are doing that because we don’t want the added stress of what is going on in the world. So much is uncertain. They are saying it is coming back with a vengeance in Fall and Winter months if it even tames during summer. I want to be able to be out and about without the fear of myself, fiancé or friends and family being at risk. By then they should have the vaccine and a better understanding on everything. It sucks to wait and I’m bummed but it’s what is best.

    Mines is In September and they told me it’s still too early to let us know if a postponement will be needed.

    Plan your celebration, just don’t put a finite date on it. Remember: you will be marrying the one you love regardless. Just because a big celebration may have to wait a little longer, it WILL happen. The most important thing right now is to stay safe so that you have that opportunity to celebrate with everyone.

    Hi Michelle. That’s funny because we are doing the same thing. May 1st would have been our destination wedding date but now we’re going to elope on our engagement anniversary 8/8 and then hold a wedding ceremony and celebration later on when it’s safe. Good luck to you as well!

    We are in Virginia, scheduled for November 21 and are currently going as scheduled. Our guest list is currently at 60 people (if everyone comes and including possible plus ones). However, my FH and I have both said that if we can’t have the ceremony due to the virus, we will just go to the justice of the peace and enjoy our honeymoon as scheduled. We agreed that we can always have the reception later.
    Let’s just hope we can all have our weddings as planned!🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼

    Our wedding is October 3, 2020 and we aren't postponing. Should the pandemic still be bad in July, we will decide then.
