Wedding postpones

Our wedding is December 4th and we haven’t postponed YET, but I do have some concerns. Still trying to plan as usual, but keeping an open mind just in case.

I postponed we are also in October we postponed until next October

View Quoted Comment I totally agree with you, I am 10/31/20 as well original date I stress daily over this. My wedding is small as well under 100. What I hear in the Whitehouse briefings is encouraging and viruses cant live forever. I grapple with will people still he afraid will we be in phase three. I guess in August I can reevaluate. But im hopeful all will be okay for all 2020 brides. We definitely will have a story to tell.

Agree with this 100%. We are on Halloween as well and are just going with the flow.

We are doing our research on it now for our Oct 2, 2020 wedding. We have over 300 on our invite list which is a big reason for us to look into it. I cry everyday with the stress of just not knowing what is best. We waited an extra 18 months to be financially stable for it, and to have time to go through all of the celebratory pre wedding things (showers, parties, etc). My fiancé just went though all of the steps to cancel his bachelor party (something he has been planning since before we met- like for 13 years). It was hard to listen to him call all the guys and let them know. The flights were non refundable so working with them all on being out that money (and they are all first responders).

When is the bachelor party scheduled for? See if they can work with the airlines to get credits/vouchers. I know Delta has a pretty good rebooking policy in place in light of all this. If the flight was cancelled by the airline I believe they are legally entitled to a refund.

October 2020 changed to April 2021 just to be safe especially with family who is flying in and the whole social distancing thing.

Oct 25th PA bride here. No plans to postpone until june or July when we know more of what's going on. We have talked about option b and c but it just depends on what the next few months holds. I do believe things will start looking up. We cant stress over something that we have no control over. I pray this will over soon.

View Quoted Comment Mines October 3rd, 2020 and I live in VA too! Mine is also a small outdoor wedding with less than 100, I haven’t made plans to postpone either. Congratulations!!

View Quoted Comment Mine was October 24 too and we also just made the choice to postpone to 2021 for the same reasons! We felt weird about it so I’m glad we’re not alone

Our wedding is November 7th in Florida. We’re expecting 120 guests, but we probably will be postponing. My husband and I got married in 2019 so this was supposed to be the big thing for our families so I think we are going to wait to be able to have everyone we want there with no restrictions. The venue won’t let us cancel yet being as though we are far out. Waiting a few more months before we officially postpone.

I've been planning our wedding out of state for a year now. Our date is 10.10.2020 in Texas. I'm just overwhelmed and have genral anxiety about the wedding and being away from our family. I was really only doing this for our parents (we're both only children). Wish I hadn't already spent all this money. Would totally go to the courthouse if it meant being able to save money to move back home sooner and save money for a down-payment on a home.

My date is December 19 and no postponing here! I am actually getting excited! Also going on a cruise 2 days later for our honeymoon!

View Quoted Comment Our 90 person wedding is scheduled for 10/11/2020. I’ve been wanting to seriously postpone it since about the end of April. Unfortunately I contacted my venue to ask about what our options were and because they have a very strict “no re-scheduling” policy, they told me they wouldn’t even really talk to me about a contingency plan until the end of August/early September as at that point (this was in mid April) they were only re-scheduling brides who had a wedding a month out from that time. But my mom is immunocompromised and is telling me that she’s scared to come to my wedding unless we do social distancing and masks (and even then it’s still making her nervous), my stepdad has severe sleep apnea and sleeps with a cpap machine and two of my fiancé’s grandmothers have lung cancer. I feel almost irresponsible trying to have 90 people come together from different parts of the country (that’s another thing, do I want to ask people to get on planes in about 4 months??) at a gathering where you’re supposed to be sharing such close space with everyone. I also want to be able to hug and dance with my guests. I planned for and paid for a normal wedding, not some socially distanced depressing plague version of one. I’m also singing down the aisle, how am I supposed to do that with a mask on? How am I supposed to be able to link arms with my mom and stepdad as I walk the aisle and be that close to them with a pandemic going on when they are both at risk? Unless a scientific miracle happens, I just don’t feel good about having this big event this year. I just hope my venue works with me so I’m not heartbroken and out a ton of money. We also have to make sure they can accommodate a new date for specifically a Sunday in the beginning of October 2021. I booked my date 2 years before the actual event and started putting deposits down early for a reason.. because I wanted the beginning of October. I also have to make sure ALL of my other vendors can accommodate a new date barely a year out from now. This whole thing has been a nightmare for all of us brides. It’s already stressful enough to plan and execute a wedding, but then all of this happens. I should be over the moon excited for my wedding right now, not feeling dread and misery. 😞 Hang in there brides, we’ll get through this somehow.

View Quoted Comment I spoke with our venue yesterday. They were offering refund or postpone. I went with refund. It's a restaurant and we are hoping to be able to do a sit down dinner with them with about 10-12 people come october. It just wasn't worth the stress of the what ifs to us to keep moving forward. We will still be married on 10/10 just not as previously envisioned.

View Quoted Comment I hope everything works out for you and you are able to either postpone to a good date for you or the original plan works for you.
