What i did about Covid-19 stress-

Hello lovely brides.


It has been a whirlwind week for all of us Spring and even summer/fall brides to be to say the least! I have been beyond stressed, sad, and defeated the last few days, especially with FH being out of town, but I finally got things sorted out and feel a lot better. Still a little uneasy, but better!
I went in to speak with my venue today (my wedding is 5/16) and asked them what their current plans are and how to go about postponing. She assured me she does not see them closing down, they even had a wedding today and a lot of things in our state are closed. So what we did was keep my 5/16 date and reserved a backup day of 8/2. It is a Sunday, but there weren’t many options available. While I’m praying and hoping with all my might we don’t have to push it back, it gives me comfort knowing it’s there if I need it.
I also contacted our hotel where we reserved a block of rooms for out of state guests and had them push back the reservation cut off date by 10 days to give my guests more time to asses the situation and for this whole mess to hopefully die down. I typed up a note to my extended family and had my dad email it to everyone basically stating we are still going on as planned and that the hotel reservation date has been pushed back as well as information about what my venue is doing to keep a clean space and what I plan to do the day of (hand sanitizer pumps, having catering manage the buffet, etc...)

While I wish this wasn’t happening AT ALL I decided I couldn’t take being completely helpless to this outbreak anymore. Even with the backup day I would be devastated if I have to cancel my original date due to the venue shutting down but at least I know I won’t be completely out of luck!
(Oh and after that I went to Hobby Lobby to get some more wedding decor and am totally back in the spirit!)
I wish everyone luck and I am praying so hard that we all get our special day.... as planned! We deserve it darn it...!
