a weight is lifted

So we have been going back and forth about cancelling our wedding. Well we finally took the plunge and contacted our Venue and they got right back to us with a new date that we picked and an new contract. I am feeling such relief right now I can't even describe it. I was so stressed out and not sleeping and in tears and on this roller coaster of feelings that it was consuming me in a negative way. My dad has the beginnings of Alzeimer's and even me at 53, and never been married I wanted those magical moments that we dream about.

My dad will be there I know that in my heart and we could have a small gathering and that would be OK with me, but fiance' has also never been married and he wants the families to Unite, as my family is from BC and his is all in Saskatchewan. I get it. They are all gonna love each other.

Our date was June 20/2020 and we are now getting married August 21,2021 and we are grateful. RELEIF of the not knowing whats going to happen is looming over all of us and I am so relieved at our decision. June 20 will be a hard day... but it's the right decision for us. Good Luck and I can't wait to hear about all the upcoming weddings!

    We did exactly what you did! June 27, 2020 wedding and postponed it to September 25, 2021. Also felt like a weight was lifted off of our shoulders.

    I'm still waiting and stressing out myself. Our wedding is September 17. So it's early to jump the gun. I figured by July I will have to make a choice. Until then stay safe.

    Congratulations to you an yours as well. I think an August wedding will be amazing. I may put something on my website so that guests could maybe put an uplifting story about what has happened that is awesome during this time so that we can have that as a memory as well. Happy Planning to you!

    I have an awesome Maid of Honour(my sisssy) who helped me with my headspace as well.

    I was kinda losing it... but like she said we could have rebooked for this year and than started the whole cycle of stress out again. This way we can enjoy all the planning again and no enjoy the journey to the alter

    I am definitely going to plan something for June 20... maybe a little stay home honeymoon as well. Thank you for your encouragement!

    That is great to hear - so happy you were able to move your date (as hard as that must have been) as well as get all of that stress off your back. Weddings are hard to begin with and with the uncertainty of the Pandemic situation we are in I can't imagine how stressed you were.

    Love this. Glad to hear you’ve made peace with this very difficult choice so quickly! I can totally relate to the sense of relief (I am also a summer 2020 turned August 2021 bride!)
    Time to start brainstorming other ways to spoil yourself and celebrate your love on June 20!

    So happy for you! While it sucks that you can’t have it this year it gives you more time to prepare for next year.... plus, what’s one more year when you’re going to spend the rest of your lives together right? Smiley smile congratulations!

    I’m so happy for you both that you found a new date! My fiancé and I (like so many other couples!) have been having the same struggles. The uncertainty has just been too much for us even waiting to figure out what to do with our August date. We have also made the decision to postpone until August 2021 (the weekend after you!). It’s not even final yet and the sense of relief is already worth it! We all deserve to have our dream weddings and hopefully waiting the extra year and making it through a pandemic will make it that much more special!! Congrats to you and your hubby-to-be! ❤️🤗
