What to do? What do i do?

Jamie, on April 25, 2020 at 9:04 PM Posted in Community Conversations 1 67
Feeling very discouraged about everything that’s going on right now. We decided to change our date from July to another one but we can’t seem to come up with a date that doesn’t interfere with things already on the calendar. No more negativity please just wanted to really put this out there because I’m just at lost for what the further holds right now and at a breaking point.

    :/ are the other things on your calendar able to be moved? Or what dates are your venue giving you as a possibility ?

    No sadly there are things that I can’t move. There are other Fall weddings, birthdays and anniversary and plus my fiancé’s work schedule is unknown and school; if they even start back up. As to venue it’s a cattle ranch and I haven’t a clue where to begin with that

    Is it too late to keep your original date and wait a bit longer to see how things are or perhaps just cut down the guest list so you can still have your marriage on your original date?

    I am so so sorry girl 💕. Moving a wedding is so rough. We were suppose to get married this month and I was such a mess trying to figure out a new date. We have other things on the calendar did this year as well + our venue was basically full booked for the rest of the year except for in November. I had my heart set on a spring wedding so I was having a really hard time about moving it to a different season. We opted to move it to April of 2021. Having to wait a whole year stinks but we figured it is what is is & will give us the best option of still having the wedding we planned/dreamed without being stressed about other life happenings.


    Hope it all works out for you! Remember no matter what day it is it will be perfect & to the love of your life 💗. Sending virtual hugs!

    Hi! Sorry you are going through this — I know how you feel Smiley sad I was originally getting married this July too, but we postponed a full year to next July. It seems so far away, but I feel better knowing that things will probably look better a year from now. If you have unmovable dates on your calendar, you should consider postponing a year if you are able to! I hope everting works out for you ❤️

    I wish but I don’t think we can make it happen. My fiancé has been out of work since mid March, luckily we’ve saved and are okay right now but I still have a list of thing to order and take care of

    Hi Jamie,

    I am so sorry you're going through this too. It's supposed to be such a happy time. I've been ugly crying a lot lately myself.

    We postponed our July 18, 2020 wedding to August 14, 2021. We are heartbroken to have to wait another year, but feel it is the best opportunity to have the wedding we planned (especially since we are getting married in NY) and having a new date has offered some comfort...our family and friends seemed so relieved we were postponing. I know others in here have suggested waiting a year and I would second that, based on the circumstances you have listed. It will give you more time to recover and we're more likely to have a viable treatment or vaccine for the virus. That's just this lady's opinion though! You will figure out what's right for you and have a beautiful wedding.

    Can you put this aside for a few weeks? Sometimes that breaking point means you need a break. And a hug. 🤗

    I'm with you. My wedding is supposed to be July 11th. I checked with the venue and there's no rescheduling until winter or next year. I don't want a winter wedding. I also don't want to be a bride anymore. I've already been engaged almost two years and with my fiance for over seven years. I just want to elope and get on with my life at this point. If we can't have the wedding as planned then I would be happier to not have one at all. I hate being engaged during the pandemic because I get constant calls asking if I'm going to reschedule or what I'm doing to plan. People are living vicariously through me. Nobody understands when I tell them that I don't want to reschedule. My fiance never wanted to a wedding but even he doesn't understand why I don't want to reschedule if push comes to shove.

    Same. My coworker thought it'd be a good time to ask about my bridal shower getting cancelled during a zoom staff meeting. Nothing like the school counselor having to turn her camera off to ugly cry during a planning meeting to serve the emotional needs of children.

    I feel you. We have a May 30th date that likely won't happen, and I feel like not only do I not know what to do going forward, but everything is just a horrible compromise and isn't working. Trying to coordinate all of our vendors for a future date while our jobs are uncertain and we have no idea when things will get better is just so stressful. I feel like I'm trying to hit a moving target while blindfolded. I'm not excited about my wedding at all anymore...

    I'm so sorry you are going through this. I hope you find a way to make it work. If nothing else I totally understand that this situation absolutely 100% completely sucks. I just want it to be over with.

    Our date was 6/6/2020. We have rescheduled for August 1st. Thankfully our vendors have been understanding. Our wedding will be a large one with over 350 people invited. People around our home town do it BIG and beer will be flying lol.. this is a sucky time but I have found myself thanking God for all of our friends and family that we want to celebrate with. Isn’t it kind of awesome that we’re all so bummed out about having to postpone celebrating with so many loved one who will make it that much more special, and that we have them in our lives to celebrate us? No less emphasis on the sucky (because I’m salty), but puts things into perspective 🥰

    I like to think I’m very blessed with those who wish to see us married. I’m also worried that my grandfather won’t be able to give me away with my dad. His health isn’t the best and he’s getting older it’s gonna take a lot for him to walk the aisle as is but he’s determined to do it.
