What are some ways to celebrate your original date if you had to postpone your wedding

I think if you got a small little cake that would be cute too ~

I do not understand why anyone but you would want to think about it at all. Once a new time is scheduled, the old date does not matter at all, to most. You mourn the loss. But to other people, NBD, change of date only. Do something just for you two. Other people will likely upset you by just how much they don't care, like they missed a dental appt that rescheduled. You are the only ones actively feeling any loss.

View Quoted Comment We actually felt so much love on what was supposed to be our wedding day - people may surprise you. We joked it looked like a boozy funeral home due to all the wine and flowers friends dropped off. Our closest friends and family surprised us at how wonderful they were, maybe it’s bc they were sad the open bar celebration was postponed, but they cared.

Sorry to hear you had to postpone! My fiance and I are doing a get together with friends on our original date, and making it into a mini weekend friends trip. Many of our friends/family had booked nonrefundable Airbnb accommodations for our now-postponed wedding, so a few of us decided to still go (our venue is around 2 hours away from us) and just do a fun, non-wedding-related trip. I think you should plan something fun for your original day, and plan it however you feel you need to! Whether it's a date night between you two, or a get together with family/friends, make it a happy day and something you'll look forward to!

Hey, so sorry you had to postpone! We were super close to our spring wedding date when Covid suddenly blew up in our faces, I am in the UK and we ended up on full lockdown on our wedding date. It was so strange as only a few weeks earlier it was still all systems go with final fittings and payments etc, I think probably the closer you were to your date when it kicked off the harder it is to let go of that date but I totally get the feeling of still wanting to mark the day in some way and make it special, which you can!

I guess it depends how far you want to go with it but we basically held a little mini-"wedding" privately at home just the two of us, as we weren't even allowed to visit family outdoors at that point. We found a nice outdoor space amongst the daffodils and said our vows to each other, then we got our parents and siblings on Zoom and did a toast. We prepared a nice dinner in advance of the day (stuff that could just be plated up or only required reheating) so that we could still share a nice wedding meal together, and I baked and decorated a little wedding cake which I topped with the cake topper we had handmade (complete with date!). We danced a first dance and we cut the cake, we took lots of pictures. Then we settled down with some of the fizzy stuff and toasted our future together.

Like someone said above I really felt the love on the day as we had so many messages sending thoughts and well-wishes, and several people sent us flowers and champagne. I used one of the bunches of flowers as my bouquet and then had some of the flowers preserved in a resin heart as a memento of the day.

The way I see it , it was the date we chose and it had meaning for us so I would rather it still be a day of joy than a day of mourning what could have been, and whilst we may not have been able to make it legal, nothing could stop us from declaring our commitment to each other.

For me, it was more important for me to be distracted than to celebrate it. My future-mother-in-law cooked a big dinner for the family and we all ate outside (socially distanced). We didn't make it about me and my FH, but it was really nice being with family.

Hi, so my wedding is supposed to be on July 11. But We postponed until next year. & I know it’s sad how something you planned and dreamed about like a wedding won’t happen no more. I don’t get upset just because there’s bigger things out there. But my fiancé and I will be Getting married through civil on July 10 and will be doing a drive-by on our original wedding date. (I don’t know if drive-bys are still a thing)
I would do a family party/gathering if I had a small family but we’re 60 in total and I don’t want to risk anyone’s health, just cause you never know if they have been taking care of themselves or not. So drive-by will have to be. Honestly just go with what your heart desires and if your fiancé is all in it with you then I don’t see anything wrong with celebrating your actual wedding day.
