covid Could not stop us!

We have postponed our big wedding with all our family & friends but, we decided that COVID was not stopping us from getting married on our date!

There is a reason most couples pick a certain date and we had a big countdown looking forward to it. That date becam so special and important to us. So we already had our Marriage license since before everything got bad and shut down so last minute we decided that we were still going to het legally married on our original date. We are so happy we did this, this was the best day ever and next year when we get to celebrate with our loved ones that day will be just as special in it's own way. We will finally get to share this with them.
If any brides are trying to decide whether to do something like this or wait all together... I highly suggest going this route, it was nice having the small intimate ceremony.

    Well Happy Birthday!!

    Awesome, we tried to do May 29th as well but the DJ was booked already. Sounds great!! We will do a short ceremony next year as well just so everyone can see that part too and more so we can share that with my grandparents and our wedding party.

    We are doing May 29th Smiley smile We have so many birthdays (mine included.. its today actually! lol) and so many other wedding anniversaries in there, that we decided to nab the end of May. We are considering just doing a small little fun ceremony- just for the legality of it all; going to wear a different dress, save the vows, and just do the paper work.

    I was bummed out initially, but am feeling better about it all since deciding to still go ahead with it Smiley heart

    Thank you.

    Yes I did end up having my parents there. Unfortunately my fiance/husband's parents have both passed away so we only had 2 extra people from what we were supposed to have but we had the space to distance and now that they have changed it to 10 people so hopefully that helps you. It was really hard to not have some people there, we did not allow my parents spouses to come for this.

    I's sorry you are having to postpone too, but glad you two have decided to get legally married on your original date. We did have the officiant come to us for a backyard ceremony. What day in May did you postpone to? Ours is not May 15, 2021.

    Congrats! That is so great! My fiancee and I have just made the decision to postpone our September wedding to May. We too are planning to get legally married on our original date. Did you have an officiant come to you?

    We also did the same thing this year and next year we will have a vow renewal just so we are able to have the wedding we had planned with our family and friends

    Congratulations! Your pictures are gorgeous!! We went the same route (got married on a different day than our original date though as we struggled getting a license and didn't want to risk further restrictions/not being able to get one) definitely agree with you it's a great idea and then you can celebrate next year when it's safer to do so with everyone you love! Smiley heart

    Congratulations!!


    We are planning to do the same thing one month from today Smiley smile. May I ask if your parents were there? My parents are upset if the restrictions dont lift that they wont be able to see us get married and I'm really struggling with that.
