Wedding Postponed

My fiancé and I were suppose to be getting married August 22 2020 , but after some deep consideration we have decided to postpone our wedding till next year. We want everyone to be comfortable and have a great time. We figured that even if the governments opens up everything a lot people will still not be comfortable being a room with 160 other people.


Our new date now is August 14 2021! We are still planning to get married though this year in my mother in laws backyard. Then next year we will re-new our vows on the same day.
I feel so much better that we were both on the same page about postponing and that all our vendors were willing to accommodate us.
For all my 2020 brides ! Keep your head up COVID -19 will not stop us from getting married to the man of our dreams

    We postponed from August 21st, 2020 to August 21st, 2021.

    I was really happy we got to keep the same date because to me it already feels like "our anniversary", and because we had originally switched from June 20th, 2020 to August quite a while back (schedule conflicts, unrelated to covid) and I really didn't want to have another "almost-wedding date" haha

    This is what I wanted to do! Have a small ceremony this year and then get married in the church next year with everyone. My mom is totally against the idea-mainly because she thinks it’s a burden to get people dressed up twice (there’s only 12 people coming who are parents and grandparents) and that everyone will have seen my dress from photos.

    August 8 was our date as well! I'm coming across so many couples with that date for their wedding. It's pretty popular! But we pulled the plug and decided to just postpone to next summer. Our venue is completely booked for next August but we managed to snatch July 10 2021 😊

    Our date is August 8 and we have postponed to August 14, 2021 as well. We were also lucky with all our vendors. It made it all much easier.
    Us to have decided to still get married on our date this year. I struggled a lot with the decision but I didn't want to go past the date wishing we had done it anyways. Next year and this year will be both special in different ways. Now my hardest decision has been deciding about wearing my dress or not. I think I am leaning towards a simpler dress and saving my gown for next though.

    Our wedding was scheduled for Aug 29, 2020 and that’s why we postponed to next July too. We don’t think people will feel comfortable yet. Congrats on making a decision that works for you Smiley smile it’s a big relief!

    August 8 was our date as well!!! We officially decided to pull the plug and postpone to next summer. We wanted August still but our venue completely booked up so our new date is July 10 2021. At least we got a summer date still as that's what I really wanted


    Our love will go on ❤️❤️❤️

    I am supposed to be getting married August 22nd too, we are most likely moving it to May 23rd instead but still holding out until end of June. Good on you for going with your gut and will still be getting married to your love this year! best of both worlds! Smiley smile

    That's great to hear!

    My date is August 7th and while I've not made a decision yet about postponing. I have made peace with the idea of having a ceremony (hopefully in the garden of our venue) and a reception for Summer 2021.

    It's great that all our vendors are so accommodating during all of this. They are hurting no doubt but are still so dedicated to making our day special no matter how it much of a change it will be Smiley smile

    Deep thoughts were put into what you wanted and had to do which was a hard thing. Its the thought that counts to have your guests feel safer for next year travelling without any concerns or hold backs. The idea of renewal vows is good since it doesn't have to be with an Officiant present.

    So amazing to hear that you are still planning on getting married this year and you're right, nothing will stop us! It must be such a great feeling that you and your fiance are on the same page Smiley smile It's also great to hear that you vendors are on the same page because I have heard of some horror stories ...

    My fiance and I have a December 2020 date so i'm worrying but still positive thoughts ahead. We have the same view as you and we will still be legally getting married no matter what.

    Congratulations on the new date!


    It definitely makes sense to wait, I can't imagine trying to celebrate while staying 6 feet apart and following regulations.
