September 2020 Ontario Bride

I'm Sept 5th 2020 as well! Currently we have a date on hold for 2021 (Sept 4th) just in case. But I am still hopeful (my fiance not so much lol). We are in Kitchener/Waterloo with 130 people. Also not many people travelling, a couple from out of province, but I didn't fully expect them to come even without pandemic. When are you making the final call?? I can't decide when is too late to decide and then either send invitations or not.

Hey!

My date was October 3/20 and we postponed to October 2/21. We have a large wedding and knew we couldn't cut down the guest list. I feel so much better now! Late 2021 is a much safer bet.

Hi!! I am an October 2, 2020 bride in southwestern Ontario. We really don't want to move our date either, and will probably end up having our wedding either way - whether our whole guest list can attend or whether it will have to be much smaller than anticipated.

I am trying not to let myself worry for another month or so. A friend of mine just got married in BC this past weekend. There they are allowed groups of 50, and as I understood it they had their family etc. be present for the ceremony and lunch party, etc. and then had another 50 people for an evening reception. As far as I've heard, that worked well because then at least 100 people could help celebrate instead of cutting it down to 50.

Wishing you all the best and hoping everything that we are planning is able to go through

Basically what we’ve been told from our venue is if there’s some type of government restriction on gatherings (ie 50 people only) the venue is technically “failing” to live up to their end of the contract and they have to provide us with another date.


On our end it would be much too hard in any case to reduce our list - would be way too much drama I don’t even want to begin thinking about.
We actually may postpone to September as of right now our venue doesn’t seem confident in the reopening phases by July. I’d keep waiting and see what summer has in store!
