Corona Wedding

Girl, right there with you. Alterations have been postponed twice now. So bummed. I don't have much advice for you other than, do what you feel is best for you, your fiance, and finances. I'm sure everything will work out the way it is supposed to. Best of luck to you!

I am the same! Oct 2020, but reaching out to reschedule to next year. I have a bad feeling this wont be back to normal until next year. We also have economic things to worry about not just the virus. We might very well end up in a recession.

I feel you. I´ve been a bridesmaid 5 times waiting for my big day. I never thought I would find the person of my dreams. I want to get married and that´s what the big day is about, but I don´t want to get married in flipflops because the shoe stores have supply chain issues and in a dress with D cups instead of A because the alterations is closed. I´ve decided life is unfair and I´m happy to get married, but I wanted the big experience I had dreamed of my whole life.

Hi Michele,

This is definitely a crazy stressful and uncertain time for everyone! It seems like a lot of June brides are waiting a few more weeks before making postponement decisions, but everyone's situation is different and it never hurts to be proactive about plan b!

You also aren't alone right now! ❤️

There are a ton of June brides also talking about their Covid19 concerns in these discussions:

June 2020 brides: freaking out?

June and July Brides do not stress Covid-19!!!

Sending lots of love your way!

@Michele - my heart goes out to you. First time bride at 35 here. Bridesmaid countless times. I have waited what feels like forever for this to happen. it sucks. But at the end of the day - keep in mind that you still love each other, and that... NO ONE and NO THING can take away from you.

For what it's worth, you will be still be a bride. A BEAUTIFUL BRIDE; even if it is in your jeans, in your living room. Don't forget that. The vows you say to each other have no less meaning in a casual setting.

Order a white simple dress from Macy's. Something you could wear on anniversaries and remember your special day. You can hold the big day later and look at your contracts because this should be covered under clauses for cancel. Get what you can back and enjoy every moment with your love. Stay safe.

Ours is in October and we are sadly thinking of postponing to summer 2021. The venue told us even if they re-open, they're not sure what social distancing rules will need to be mandated (ie. limited guest list, face masks etc). I live in the Bay Area in California, so I know it is much worse here than other parts of the country.

Yes, I definitely share your concerns. I am an older bride at 48. Our wedding is in August. I don't want to wait either. I'm starting to seriously consider ways to hold the wedding with a smaller group. We will no longer be doing buffet and waiting for a honeymoon outside the States, etc.
