We are really struggling here and wondering how everyone else is coping with this Covid restrictions in BC. We’ve postponed a few times now, our original date was June 13, 2020 in Fernie, BC. We’ve rescheduled for June 12, 2021 and I’m really starting to get worried that we’re gonna have to postpone again. I’m fine with a small wedding (30-40 people) but only 9 people at the ceremony I’m having a hard time with. We’ve done very limited planning and we’re 46 days away so the anxiety is piling and we haven’t even been excited once about this wedding. We have a back up date of July 10, 2021 but I just don’t know if that will even give us enough time for the BC outdoor wedding restrictions to change and we loose out some of the vendors we’ve paid for already. I just can’t believe we’re back here making the same hard decisions again with even worse restrictions. Smiley sad

    Yes, it's so challenging right now, especially with no plan as of today to reopen in BC! We officially postponed for the 3rd time to July 10, 2021 to hopefully have travel restrictions are lifted by then. But I feel your pain on vendors wanting answers and payments and struggling when a good time to send out invites! So much to do, but at a standstill until we get some answers from the government!

    I’m dying over here as well. We live in Vancouver, my family is in NB, his is in New York, and we’re supposed to be getting married in August in NS (after rescheduling once already). We had decided to go ahead knowing that there likely would still be restrictions in place, and really narrowed down our guest list to just the core people, but now we don’t even know if WE will be able to get there, let alone his (fully vaccinated!) family in the US. I just don’t know what to do and our vendors are knocking on our doors looking for the next stage of their deposits. We have our invitations sitting in a box in the apartment right now and are too uncertain to put them in the mail. I haven’t seen my family in 2 years and the idea of postponing again is crushing.

    My wedding is planned for August 29th in Kelowna and I’m from the lower mainland. I totally feel your pain it’s so stressful to decide what to do. It’s difficult to predict how things will change after the May long weekend and summer. I hope restrictions allow for at least the 50. Just gotta cross fingers and stay optimistic! Praying for all us pandemic brides 🙏🏼

    So sorry you're dealing with this. Our wedding was last year and I totally understand how stressful and frustrating it is to not know what's going to be allowed with your wedding so close to the date.

    I think unfortunately for those who planned or postponed weddings to this summer, wedding ceremonies and receptions will be some of the last restrictions to be eased. Just based on anecdotes from friends/family members and messaging from Dr. Henry, it seems like wedding receptions in particular were really high risk activities last year. I think most people went into their weddings with the best intentions and everyone starts out properly distancing, but after a few drinks people get sloppy and people aren't as safe.

    Nobody can really give you a timeline, but if I were in your position I'd be postponing to the fall when most people will have received their first shot you're more likely to have slightly larger gatherings. I just think June is too early and maybe even July, since most people in the 20-40 range will only just be getting vaccinated and I assume that's a large chunk of your guest list.

    But I also want to say that we had a 10 person ceremony last November, and although it wasn't an ideal situation we still really loved our wedding. No matter what happens I'm sure your wedding day will also be really special.

    My fiance and I just postponed our August 7 wedding to next summer. It's hard to say the least since this is the second time we've postponed. Since there's so many restrictions right now, I think we made the right choice since we do want at least 50 people attending and we hope by next summer we will be able to have a reception and have dancing in the even as well.

    It's been really hard. We've had to postpone our elopement next month, as we were planning it for in Vernon and we live in the Lower Mainland. After postponing the full wedding, we thought we would be safe just going away the two of us, but NOPE!

    I'm sorry you're having to go through this, and you're definitely not alone. Unfortunately, I don't think we will be back to having the max of 50 outdoors again until at least July. I really hope I'm wrong, but things are so hard to predict.

    I wish you luck!
