Worried about new date?

I know a lot of you ladies had to postpone your special day. It sucks so bad! We postponed our May 8 wedding to 1/29/21. It was the first Friday our venue had available when we rescheduled in March. Now I am worried this will still be an issue in January ! Am I overthinking things? I know a lot can change in a couple months but also I see lots of brides with dates in October/November postponing so it makes me nervous about January. Most people I’ve expressed my concern to tell me not to worry that things will be ok by then but these were also the same people in the beginning of March telling me not to worry about May! I want my guests to feel safe and I want to have the wedding I envisioned. I feel guilty having these thoughts when people are dying. I dealt with a family death and then the wedding postponement and it was a lot for me to process. I miss that excited feeling. But I’m also afraid to get disappointed again.

Hi Shelly - I completely understand! I also postponed my wedding from April to January and I haven’t told my guests yet, because I’m concerned about the virus in 2021 and the possibility that we may need to limit the amount of guests. Also hearing the same people tell me it will be okay, but they also thought it was okay in March.

What I know now that I didn’t know in March, when we postponed, is that this virus isn’t just going to go away, so I’m assuming we’re going to have to prepare to live with many of the social distancing guidelines until there’s a vaccine or treatment (this could be well into 2021). As each day goes by I’ve become more content with having an intimate “socially distant” wedding in January if that’s where the chips fall.
All we can do at this point is hope for the best, and take a break from reading the forum if reading what other people are doing is causing any anxiety. We don’t need anymore of that

Hi Shelly,
Your feelings are definitely valid! I'm so sorry to hear this. Of course this is stressful and upsetting. It sucks that you had to go through the rescheduling process once and now you are thinking you might have to do it all again.
If I were in your shoes, I would wait to postpone again. Give yourself a date to make a decision by. Maybe that date is 10/31 - if things haven't cleared up by then, I would consider postponing again. If you need us we’ve set up a hotline at (833) 998-2865 where we can give support and advice.
I hope this helps!
