    My wedding is in 6 weeks, I’m going to call my venue tomorrow to see if we can have the 50 people or if they’re closed completely because their minimum is usually 85

    Sorry to hear that. I'd wait to see what happens in the next few weeks before making any concrete decisions for a late May wedding.

    Girl I feel you. We made the tough decision last week because our immediate family could not make it. Its one everyone has to make, but right now vendors are being very understanding. Talk to them, make a plan b. We'll get through this!

    My wedding is also May 24th! We are ten weeks out so we should hopefully miss the 8 week cut off! Praying we don’t have to postpone as well. Good Luck ❤️

    My wedding is scheduled for May 16. It is 9 weeks out, but I haven't heard anything from my vendors or venue yet. How has everyone else's experience been? What are your vendors saying? are you getting a lot of push back from guests? I would hate to cancel. but what if no one attends? so many questions. I can't believe this is happening.

    Also getting married May 24th and had my bout of ugly crying today! I live in Washington state and my fiancé actually is a first responder in the city where the biggest outbreak has been. I’m definitely panicking about whether or not to postpone. Everything is so high stress right now. I can’t even believe it. Sending good thoughts to everyone!

    Mine is the 18th of April - We were informed by our Reception Venue early Saturday morning that because of the COVID-19 Virus we will no longer be able to host our celebration on the 18th of April. We attempted to quickly replan as the wedding is 5 weeks away (ahhh!) and decided on my parents home. Shortly after constructing plan "b", we received notice that the town has halted all events over 25 people until May. With that said, we have chosen to move the reception to a later date. We have confirmed that the church is still able to marry us and the ceremony is full speed ahead (thats the important part so I feel so very fortunate for that!)

    I feel so so selfish to be upset over this so it seems we all feel like we are in the same boat. I guess its just that like lots of you, I have had this image of my wedding since I was a little girl and now its taken from me (ugh... I sound so trash for even saying that when there are people ill & dying). It will all work out for all of us forsure, its just a huge bummer.

    Late, late May bride (30th) and there's just too much uncertainty to try and change anything right now. The CDC recommendation will expire 3 weeks before our wedding barring any extensions. My fiance and I had 'the talk' about what we will do if things keep going sideways last night. And after consulting my parents (my dad is in the medical field) we are planning on having the wedding as long as our reception venue stays open. In the event the reception location becomes closed we will look at other options.

    Mine is the following weekend (11 weeks out). I'm crying just thinking about all the couples having to deal with this. We aren't making any decisions yet and really hope things improve by our wedding date, but I know many couples are within that 8 week window. I just feel so sorry!

    Mine is 5/16, a week after the CDC recommendation will be lifted. We reserved a backup date of 8/2. I keep going back and forth between the attitude of “keep the date, barring any extensions, whoever shows shows!” And “would NOT postponing it be irresponsible by potentially putting my loved ones’ health at risk??”


    Idk what to do. Quite a few of our out of state guests have already made travel and hotel arrangements, id feel awful if they would be out of money because I changed it!

    Yea, I'm crying in my office at work right now. I lost my dad when I was in college. My FH's dad is in his 70s and has preexisting heart conditions, so he's one of those people who should absolutely not get/be exposed to this virus. I've been back and forth crying all morning because I feel like its bad enough that my dad can't be there and I don't want my FH's dad not to be at our wedding too. So there's layers of the wedding itself upon concerns for loved ones. I have enjoyed the wedding planning so much and up to this point it has been really enjoyable and relatively stress free. Now I'm just so sad and stressed about it and it feels awful. I frankly cannot imagine rescheduling because I feel like there isn't any clarity, and I don't want to draw out these feelings by pushing back the date and still being on edge every day. I feel like if our wedding doesn't happen on May 30th we would just cancel it and sign papers at City Hall, and I will be heartbroken either way. My FH and I are in our mid-30s so cannot just push the wedding back a year - the only way I see this being a happy event for us is for it to happen as planned without the virus looming over our heads. I am not at all a downer of a person but I'm just dealing with so many emotions right now. I'm trying to stay positive but honestly this is really eating at me. I'm trying to take each day/announcement as it comes, but this is hard. I just keep reminding myself that our wedding isn't affected yet and that there are couples for whom this is very much their immediate reality. I'm just so sorry/sad/heartbroken for all those amazing brides and grooms to-be out there that are having to make drastic decisions right now.
