Would Have Been Wedding Day

That sucks, sorry to hear about your cancelled wedding. As others have mentioned, let yourself feel sad/angry/disappointed, these are all normal and valid feelings. Do something nice for each other, make a fancy dinner or order one in, dress up, enjoy the beautiful sunshine and fresh air. Maybe even eat dinner over video chat with some close family/friends or your wedding party? And don't forget dessert!

View quoted message Definitely a good idea to do something to keep busy on that day! Here’s hoping we both get to have our special days sooner than later! 🤞🏼

I can definitely relate. My wedding day is a month away and it feels like every day leading up to that date is just torture as you keep thinking what you «should be » doing right now leading up to your big day. It’s definitely ok to be sad and it’s not selfish at all. You are still grieving a loss in a different way. A loss of a very special day you had been planning and liking forward to for so long. You need to let yourself feel those feelings. I told my fiancé that we need to plan something special on our wedding day, mostly to keep me busy so I don’t get too stuck in my thoughts. But we still want to honour the date in some way. Hang in there!

View quoted message Thank you for the suggestions! Definitely did not think of doing a “would be wedding day” photoshoot, what a great idea! I’ll definitely have to see if I can figure something like that out! LOL my mom and Maid of Honor both told me the same thing to just think about the stories we will be able to tell our kids and grandkids about everything! 😂

View quoted message Thank you for the ideas! I love them all, almost like a way of doing a makeshift get together to celebrate and to make the day as special as possible due to the circumstances!

View quoted message Thanks for the ideas! Also really appreciate the reassurance that it’s ok to be sad about it. As I mentioned to one of the other girls I replied to, I felt as though it was selfish of me to be upset about it considering all the chaos going on in the world lately it seems like something so little. So definitely appreciate the reassurance and understanding! 😊

View quoted message Thanks for the suggestions! Definitely am thinking of doing a nice dinner together and just enjoying the day as much as possible! I like your idea of having a tradition or something we’ll do on that day to remember and celebrate! Also thank you for the reassurance that it’s ok to be sad and grieve it! I’ve felt like with the chaos currently going on in the world being upset about my wedding that seems so minuscule compared to the other stuff going on was selfish but I definitely appreciate the understanding and reassurance that it’s ok! 😊

Get dressed up open a bottle of wine and make a steak or a lobster for dinner and get a cake. do a zoom chat with close family and have a drink with them. maybe do a small speech to each other telling each other you love one another

I definitely agree with everyone else's suggestions... spend some time with the two of you, have a nice dinner or just do something relaxing, and give yourself a little time to be sad about it too if that's what you need! I can totally understand that it's making you feel a little bummed out.

Have a picnic with some champagne and order takeout from a favorite local spot so you can have a fancy dinner (or fancy McDonald's if that's your thing) while enjoying that gorgeous weather! Do you think this will be a day you still celebrate for years to come? If you do you could decide to make a tradition or two that you use to recognize the date for years to come.


And if you want to take a few moments to be sad about it, make sure you let yourset be sad if you want to. It's a kind of grief and you're allowed to mourn the day you dreamed of that was taken away by the unexpected.

I can just imagine how you'd be feeling this way. My thought would be to do something fun and special for the two of you, whatever that is - make it something important that you'll remember. Maybe even do a cute "would be wedding day" photoshoot together. Will give you some visual memories to hang on to. I've been trying to remind myself of how we'll be bragging to our grandchildren someday about how we had to make the best of it during this pandemic.

View quoted message Thank you 💕 Thanks for the suggestions! I definitely think we’ll spend the day together relaxing and enjoying the day as much as possible! I love the idea of dressing up and video chatting with friends/family!

View quoted message Aww sorry to hear! We postponed our celebration until August hoping things are good by then! 🤞🏼 That’s a great idea, doing something special and romantic the two of you to celebrate! Fingers crossed for your date in September! 🤞🏼

Aww!! My heart is with you girl 💕 I say spoil yourself in any way possible. Order or cook amazing food, pop some champagne, get dressed up, video chat with friends and family, enjoy some sun, have super romantic chats with your fiancé / talk about your wedding, etc.

It is my original wedding date too : ( we had to move to sept 2020. Fingers crossed.


We are going to order the keg celebration kit and have dinner at home. I plan to set the table nice and have drinks.

View quoted message I love that idea! Thanks for the suggestion! 😊

What about going on a picnic or something like that? 🙂
