What is your Plan B?

Interested in knowing what everyone's Plan B is or was, just in case your original date didn't work out.

My wedding isn't until Feb. 14, but my venue messaged me recently, letting us know that there's a chance they'll be unable to accommodate the original wedding date; and basically asked if were interested in postponing to the Spring season, or cancel and get a full refund.

My fiancee and I discussed the situation, and he was against us making a hasty decision, and he basically told me that he wanted to wait it out till early December to make a final decision.

After talking, we decided to come up with a Plan B, just in case Plan A didn't work out, which was: get married on our original date as planned, and postpone the wedding to the Spring Season. We'll most likely be aiming it towards April and May of 2021.

While my fiancee was against getting married on our original date, in the event we had to postpone; I put my foot down and let him know, that I wasn't going to postpone anything, unless we still get married on our original date.

In the end, I've been planning this wedding for too damn long, and I will get married on my original date no matter what. @_@

Well, we are already on our plan B LOL Our original date was next month. We toyed with the idea of getting married on our original date (as it was a special/meaningful date for us), but ultimately we both felt as though it would take away some of the magic to already be married when we finally had our postponed celebration with our friends and family. So instead, we have decided to postpone everything until fall 2021. Hopefully things will be close to normal by then & weddings can be had without all the restrictions that are required now! 🤞🏻🤞🏻 For us, we just couldn’t imagine doing all this planning and paying all this money to not have the wedding of our dreams.

We held onto our original date for as long as possible, but we agreed we'd make a final decision 6 weeks before our wedding. Ultimately, we made the decision to postpone. We thought about still getting married on our original date, but I was against it, since I wanted to do everything on the same date. So, we postponed to 2022, and instead celebrated our relationship on our original date with a weekend getaway with some friends. If our Plan B doesn't work out, we probably won't postpone again, but we'll work with whatever restrictions that we have to.

I agree that maybe wait until December to decide what to do, unless your venue has a deadline for that full refund deal.

I decided to wait to get married until our new date I want the whole experience and that includes actually getting married as part of that experience so I didn’t want to do it ahead of time

We postponed our reception to🤞🏻next year but still got married on our original date. We thought about it for a while, but made the final decision 3 months ahead of time when the state released reopening guidelines, the venue gave us the option, and I needed to order invitations. It was definitely the right choice for us.

Our Plan B was similar to yours, to get married on our original date 10/3/2020 with reception pushed to October 2021. We ended up making this decision end of June, so about 3.5 months out. We did have our minimony, and I think we made the right decision for us to move forward with the legally getting married part because ultimately, marriage isn't about all the bells and whistles and I'm glad we had the tiny wedding with the important people. But I'm also looking forward to next year when we can have all those bells and whistles for our big wedding lol.

Our plan B is to move the reception outside. Plan C is to postpone but still get legally married that day.

We do not have a plan B for our March 13th wedding. It is a small wedding anyway with only about 38 guests so we should be fine to carry on with ours. The venue has been doing elopements and small weddings so we are just holding out hope that everything will be fine for us to have ours. We will make the decision on face masks in January and if we need to order them we will.
