Anyone else freaking out about August?

View quoted message Thank my lucky stars everyone is available and willing to hold the same day the following year as a back up.I seriously can’t believe how amazing my vendor team has been and will continue to recommend them to anyone looking.

Your doing a great job as an essential front line work first off to keep everyone around you safe and protected.
Its hard to believe the times are just not going right for you to know if the wedding date may go as planned. Your venue is there to help if needed to confirm your ok with the latter part of the year being safe or they would postpone your date at your request. I hope you don't lose your last vendor and they come through for you two.

Just heard back from the venue and they booked us in for both 2020 and 2021 just incase!!I can breathe again 🥰 wishing nothing but luck and happiness to everyone else in this position

View quoted message I’m hoping as long as my venue has the date open I should be good to go

I understand you pain. I have waited 7 years to get married to the love of my life, and now I have to wait even longer because other people cannot social distance. People are still going over to other peoples houses, and that just makes me angry because those people do not care about others. Which will make more people sick Which will just prolong this pandemic.

View quoted message Ohhh nice you got the same weekend for next year!

View quoted message Totally misread when I replied lol.
We decided on a new date just because this COVID virus is messing everything up for us. By the time this is all cleared up my bridesmaids would be rushed into alterations and my dress would be too. Still have planning and such, but pushing back would mean more time for us.

View quoted message Hey!! We decided on the same weekend but in 2021. So August 7 . I'm fine with it though, gives us more time to plan. Lol.

We decided to postpone one year, it was getting to stressful! We are getting married at the zoo and they really came through!
I figure this will help me plan the little details and have a bigger cushion in our budget!

View quoted message It really doesn't 🙁🙁🙁 but it's okay girl you've found the love of your life and will have an amazing future together! If you postpone your wedding will be 10x more amazing!!

View quoted message Omg girl same here!Everything has been cancelled for now and it doesn’t feel real.

View quoted message That’s one of my issues right now.No marriage licenses,liquor licenses and no event insurance.

View quoted message Definitely. I hate the waiting game and uncertainty

View quoted message Don't forget to think about marriage licenses! I don't even think registries are open and no one can even go to civil court to officially be married because City halls are closed

View quoted message All the better to postpone. This time of our lives should be enjoyable

View quoted message This is one of the main reasons why my fiancé and I are saying we should just postpone. We've had to derail our planning and to be honest my motivation to continue or even try to plan and finalize has dropped significantly. I'm not trying to be a Debbie downer but by the time they loosen some restrictions there's no way we'll be able to rush everything and go on with the wedding. It won't make us happy at all and it won't even feel real. My anxiety will go through the roof and I'll be stressed as hell. Plus my shower and bachlorette is definitely not happening and that's something I was looking forward to. Also we planned to go on our honeymoon two days after our wedding and that's for sure not happening as well 🥺🥺🥺🙁🙁🙁🙁🙁

View quoted message We are holding out as long as we can but want to have a secure back up incase things don’t improve.If I’m allowed 40 people and we can drink and dance we will keep it as is but if I’m limited to under 10 and the date is available next year I rather ditch the stress and wait.

View quoted message Hey wedding date twin!!! What made you ultimately decide to postpone?

My wedding is suppose to be in August too and I'm 90% sure we have to postpone. It's been so stressful to think of not being able to do all the traditional wedding things like my bridal shower and such and rush to get the rest of our things done if things let up in June(if that's possible).

We were supposed to get married August 8th but with everything going on we decided to push it back a year. It sucks, but we feel it was for the best.

Our wedding is August 8 and my fiancé are thinking we should just postpone it. We're supposed to be sending invite next months

Your feelings are valid and you definitely don’t have to justify your frustration/sadness about the impact of Covid on your wedding plans! Especially not to this crowd It’s takes a huge amount of money, time, emotional energy, etc. to plan a wedding. Your stress and concern about the possibility that it may not go as planned is completely understandable. No reasonable person will interpret those feelings as you being selfish/indifferent to the current state of affairs.
Anyway, take good care and I hope your final vendor is able to get on board with the backup plan. A viable Plan B should ease some stress. But I do truly hope you don’t have to resort to it!

View quoted message I would just make a plan B. Work with the pandemic guidelines. Even if it's just your closest loved ones and others live stream it that's better then nothing. Then when it's over and the quarantine is lifted plan a big reception

View quoted message Ugh 😩 our venue is currently closed but answering calls during the 8-12 business hours during the week. I left a message and hope to hear back early in the week about wether or not the August.29,2021 date is available.I swear that is the only way I will truly relax if I can get all my ducks in a row for the same day next year if the restrictions aren’t lifted by July.I don’t even know when to send my invitations and if I send them soon should I put a note saying location and date subject to change?How is everyone else handling these issues?

View quoted message Yeah ours has been 7 years in the making. This is our 3rd attempt. Life wouldnt stop happening lol. Which is why we dont want to postpone AGAIN. The guidelines are 10 people from what I read but the website for the hall said 15 so I'd ask the venue

View quoted message I’m honestly not even sure what the guidelines are now.We will not scrap the three boys from our ceremony as they have been the foundation to our success as a blended family.We need two witnesses for our ceremony as well so I can only cut one person from the ceremony but that will still bring us to eight people with the officiant.This entire wedding has been in the works for eleven years with solid planning over the last two years and I’m beside myself.

View quoted message Thank you and you too!

I hear you. I work in healthcare so the realist in me is 99% certain our July wedding will have to be postponed, the other 1% is just like "I physically and emotionally cannot deal with this right now". We are chatting with our vendors this week to come up with a backup plan, but that doesn't really ease the disappointment of having waited so long, having everything all planned, then having that taken away from you. I get so mad when I hear that there are still people out there not taking this seriously...I just feel like I'm getting double the punishment - personally and professionally. Hang in there.

Ours is in October and I have had a few panic moments too. It's totally normal. We have all dreamed about and planned for our weddings for months and even years. At this point I am trying not to worry about what I cannot control.


And thank you for the sacrifices you are making every day. Hopefully when this is over we can have a parade for our healthcare and essential workers to say thank you!

Mines october and I'm starting to freak out so I hear you!! You can always get married in a very small ceremony that follows the guidelines and then have a huge party when everything is lifted. You can livestream to as many people as possible during said ceremony too
