October 2020 couples - Are you postponing?

We were Oct 3, 2020 and just decided to postpone to Oct 2, 2021

We were booked for October 3rd, 2020 for about 100 people, many who would be coming from out of province. We’re starting to think it’s just not feasible this year and have reached out to the venue, just waiting to hear back. We are thinking of having a small ceremony on our original date and looking at postponing our reception to next year and maybe even doing a vow renewal or something to that effect then

October 24th and picked an alternate date for next year. We have decided to get married this year even if we can’t have the party and it’s just 5 of us (and our reverend has said that should be doable), and do the big reception with no church next year. BONUS: our church has live-streaming in-house. I don’t want to be a super spreading event and would rather my friends and family not risk their health for us! It is a huge bummer but I feel so much better having made the decision.

Hi Brit,


Also named Brit and same date!! We have blocked off next year Oct 16th 2021 but are still waiting to see what happens just in case. We only have 90-100 people but our venue believes it will mostly be cancelled as do I. They have suggested we make final decisions by beginning of July. I felt having a cut off date was important to reduce my stress about it and made sure the venue and my photographer being my 2 most important vendors to me were available for the new date. We may still do a small ceremony as we like our date and still get married that day and do the big wedding the next year.

We just officially postponed until next year 😪


We were oct 17th too

I’m also Oct 17 and was thinking of moving it but we just got notice that our hall is only dealing with changes 60 days out, which was very upsetting and to me seems unreasonable. Well have to have further discussions with them.

Hi Brit!

Our wedding was scheduled for October 2, 2020 and we just picked an alternate date for October 2, 2021. I was having so much anxiety about the state of our wedding this year and was not even excited to continue to plan anything! There were some big things that weren't able to be completed due to the shutdown so I just didn't feel like having it this year was a possibility. Also, we have almost 400 people and also have a large wedding party (22 total) so there was no way we could cut our guest list down! I just asked myself if I would even be ok with having a socially distanced wedding with face masks and possibly no dancing and I knew it was a no for me.

I am scheduled for October 2!! Getting kind of nervous, but trying to convince myself not to worry for another month or so. We are going to try wait it out until then at least. Our guest list is around 180 people, not sure how I will get away with less than 100... I guess we just have to try be super flexible and try not to panic yet.... easier said than done I know
