What will happen to my wedding?

The election has little to do with it. Not having strictly stuck with masks, the virus numbers are out of control. Half the world has been in or will be on lockdown to some extent. Count on it. Plan for 50, and masks. If you are lucky, save enough to have 50 more in the same space if you chose large enough, and limits are raised to 100 or more. Save the dates are not a necesity. You can order extra 35 invitations ( or whatever you need for 50 guests, and decide at 10 weeks, if you work with vendors.

First of all, "Biden has not won the election yet." It's still in the air and could all change in an instant, so I don't know why you are declaring that. It still has not been called.

We are watching this very closely.

It's okay to "be sad" that you may not have the wedding you planned for when you wanted it and I feel for all of you brides who are going through this right now.

But let's look at the alternative. Trump stays president. So, okay you have your big wedding and there is no federal lockdown. Alright, so you have maybe 50-100 people. COVID cases topped over 100K yesterday.

So, you have all those people traveling from out of town from states that may or may not have mask mandates and then some of those people GET ON AN AIRPLANE with other people and you don't know where THEY have been. They are NOT socially distancing on airplanes, it's not possible.

Now, imagine, some of your guests get COVID or develop life-altering medical conditions. Is it worth having the wedding you dreamed of if people close to you DIE or now have to be on dialysis for the rest of their lives?

I am disappointed I am not going to see my family for Thanksgiving when they are traveling to PA from GA.

But I am not going to risk getting either my in-laws or me and my husband sick. We are both immunocompromised. So think about it this way. Yea, you got to see your family at your wedding, but the next time you see them or (don't see them) because gatherings are limited, is in their casket.

This virus has killed many people and altered the lives of all Americans. And it's easy to not take it seriously until it happens to you or your family members.

It doesn't matter who is President, COVID is not going away. That doesn't mean the entire country will go on lockdown either. Its state by state depending on cases.


Yeah, its frustrating that people may not be able to have the big wedding they've dreamed of but the precautions and restrictions are put in place to help stop the spread of it. There are stories of people having a wedding and then 100 people get COVID and it's not just people that were there that get it. They spread it to other people they come in contact with.
Here's the good thing....you don't need a big wedding to marry the man of your dreams! As our priest told us. all you need is each other, an officiant and witness. The rest is icing on the cake. And to put things in perspective, people are losing their jobs, their businesses, incurring huge medical costs because they're in the hospital for weeks or months from this, not to mention people that are dying. It may not seem like a big deal until it directly impacts your life on a bigger scale than your wedding. A lot can change by your wedding so don't worry about things that are out of your control.

I've been crossing my fingers that my July wedding is far enough away to see some of this covid stuff settle down again.... probably wishful thinking i know!

I feel the same way 😔 mine and my fiancé’s wedding June 27th 2021 and we’re super worried about that too!

Positive thinking will surely help... if not with the outcome of the wedding, but with mindset! My friend had her wedding “cancelled” and she still had a wonderful time at her 50 person wedding at a private local venue. It was still beautiful and glamorous.


On an even brighter note, I think that the world is working together to find a vaccine. America isn’t alone in this! Positive thinking and moving waves is what is going to get us all through this! Manifest into your life what you believe to be so. You’re wedding will be June 2021! 🥳💓 🙏🏽☯️
I pray that your wedding doesn’t get “cancelled” at all, and that you end up having just as much fun as you’re envisioning!
