What has covid changed in your wedding plans?

View Quoted Comment That is awful! I'm so sorry!! My fiancé and I both work in public health as well and just don't want to take the risk. We were originally supposed to be married in June 2020 in GA. In April, we postponed to September 21, 2020 but the state opened too soon and now we're seeing spikes again. So now, we are eloping on our 2nd wedding date (9/21-- heyyyyyy earth wind and fire) and then having a big celebration and ceremony next June. It will just be me, him, and our pastor and his wife. Our family and friends all live far away and should not be traveling. Thankfully all of our vendors were okay with moving everything because we already paid in full.

Not yet officially. My wedding is at the end of August. We had to make some changes but nothing drastic or unreasonable. Although Maryland seems to now be heading in a poor direction and several counties are contemplating rolling back restrictions. If restrictions get rolled back there is a chance the wedding will be postponed. It's super stressful again. I was in the mindset of moving forward but not back to not know almost a month out.

We were supposed to get married 5/1/20... our venue closed and we moved to 9/5/20... on 7/10 our county prohibited weddings and venue closed again...we decided to move our date to 2021. We are now 2/13/21. All my vendors were available, my colors don't really go with the season lol but, I don't care, its pretty to me! It's been a VERY stressful 2020 with lots of crying but, I am over it now and looking forward to our February wedding.

View Quoted Comment I'm glad the vendors are able to work with you. Our venue did not work with us at all.

We are supposed to get married 10.10.20 in PGH, but the County has 25 people max indoor and 50 max outdoor. We either have to move our location or move our date, maybe? Because no one really knows what's happening. I've never been so down.

I’ve changed my wedding date to next July hopefully we can have our 150 guest by then

View Quoted Comment Haha has! Amen to that!! That is the spirit we must keep through all this madness. Finding the small things to make us smile through the tears. Happy planning and best of wishes ❤️

View Quoted Comment Awesome!!!! Praying it all goes well for you!! Happy planning and many blessing to you ❤️

My wedding is January 16, 2021 in Alachua, FL. Our venue is providing masks and hand sanitizing stations. Due to capacity restrictions, we are also offering outdoor seating at our reception instead of just indoor seating. We just sent our save the dates out this week. Our guest count is 161 people, and our venue prefers 121 people indoors. I think these simple changes were pretty easy to implement. Praying for all my covid brides!

Same here, we are getting married august 2020 too. I am excited and stressssssssed. But we are going to get married regardless if its just us then that will be it.

I have been planning for two years, I just want to make it down the isle our wedding was April 2020 but now its August 2020 and it has been the longest wedding planning of my life with wedding planners. At this point i just want people to be safe and healthy, and I want to make it down the isle.

I had to postpone my wedding until next year. Our venue hasn’t even open at all this year. Hopefully they will open up next year. I won’t be able to talk to them until January or February. It’s all good though...I figure as long as we get married changing the date Okay. We have been together for 17 years this year. He finally asked me December 2018 so I really would Chang everything as long as it happens.

Hi ! I’ve COMPLETELY STOPPED doing anything. It’s not enjoyable, even though Everything was done beside mailing out our invitations. Perhaps this October AFTER my actual wedding date 10/24/2020 I’ll review and I know there’s going to be changes made. Not with hotels or venue but invitation style if we’re having a candy buffet all the extravagant extras we (I) had planned. And probably will have to reschedule our wedding AGAIN because it’s for May 15, 2021. I’m so over a big wedding now. But we cannot let all the money paid get forfeited due to canceling all together.

My venue just informed me that there can only be 16 people total (including bride, groom, officiant) at the wedding. That won't even cover our vendors and immediate family. I'm devastated. I would understand if it was state or county guidelines, but they allow up to 100 people.

Was supposed to have my wedding abroad next month in our home country. But my fiancee and I decided to postpone it because we were worried about bringing american guests to another country and spreading COVID. We've put in a lot of work into planning the wedding and still wanted to have the wedding we dreamed of (or at least something close to it) so we wanted to postpone it until next summer when hopefully the situation is better.

Unfortunately, my parents for religious reasons want us to get married ASAP in the US. It was hard on us to have to postpone our wedding and we would have preferred it just happening next month as planned, but we see no logical reason to rush into a wedding just to get it over with. But my parents do not want to hear about postponing the wedding to next summer. They are even calling us selfish for only thinking about ourselves in this decision when our parents want us to get married because it is what is best for us. And maybe they are right that we are being selfish, but this is supposed to be our wedding day and you only get married once in life. Why should we not have a memorable day that we will remember?

After arguing with them for a few weeks, we finally reached a point where we had enough and no longer care so we gave in and will have the wedding in a few weeks in the US. Our parents want us to do the wedding reception abroad separately next summer. But to us it won't feel the same having the wedding ceremony and reception split so we are still thinking about whether we want the reception.

Wow it changed a lot. We decided to elope and then have a party to celebrate our wedding next year or whenever is possible again. But I’ll wear my stunning mermaid dress, veil and everything to elope. It still a wedding day (without guests) and it will be very special!

It changed a lot. We initially planned to move forward with our wedding, despite dropping from 22, to 14, to 10, to 6. Then it went to 3 and we had to really evaluate our decision and the safety of having family in from Texas. We opted to delay an entire year. Our honeymoon in Japan (which had been fully paid for and booked) was also canceled before we rescheduled the wedding.

We are going to exchange rings next week just us and make a nice dinner at home. We had a mini-moon planned nearby, which we are turning into a "destress" trip and will replan our Japan trip for next summer.

Yes resilient to change and remembering the most important things and not sweating the small stuff.

**** and early 2022 brides I suggest holding off signing any contracts especially venue contracts save ur money. Save ur time. The headache. As much as. Wedding should be worth it. The wedding industry is brainwashing a lot of brides making them believe things are about to be as normal as ever. No it’s not. If I could back on June 2020 when I resumed planning and signed contracts, I take it all back. I’m in so cal and the Covid stuff is spreading quick it’s absolutely shady business what the Wedding industry is doing. I wished I’d read a post like this while debating if I should plan or not. Damn I should of not.

View Quoted Comment Man, it sounds like you are having a go of it. Hang in there. Anything that’s been particularly difficult?
