Coronavirus in Washington state

Guests don't make your wedding. You mahjong the love of your life does. I am sorry all this is happened but as hard as it may be still go firsts and enjoy your day. You will still have a lovely day.

I agree with PP. focus on you and your FH and it will be a great day no matter what.

I am getting married next week 03/13/2020 and to be honest I am not concerned about it at all. If you take the necessary pro cautions then everything should go just fine.

My wedding is this weekend and already had a few cancellations, mostly people’s children. I totally get the fear and it’s unfortunate that this is happening now. I just take the news day by day the best that I can.

I’m traveling from PA to Vegas to get married. 34 people are coming now and I’ve heard talk of cancellations. My anxiety is through the roof about this as my weddings in 2 weeks. Prayers you have a beautiful and healthy wedding

View Quoted Comment We ended up postponing 😭

This is terrible! Im so sorry 😔. I’m scheduled to get married this summer and already beginning to panic. What was the postponing process like??

I'm pretty sure I have to do that same. Sorry to hear that.

View Quoted Comment Im sorry you have to go through it too if you postpone as well

View Quoted Comment So the reason why I cancelled (12 days prior) was because my fiancé’s parents and sister live in different countries and were denied by their doctors from traveling last minute due to the outbreak and they are immunocompromised. I could not let the marriage happen knowing my fiancé doesnt have his family with us for this, even though my fiancé said it was up to me. Thankfully all my vendors were willing to work with me on rescheduling with no fees. Some even offered to give full refunds. We decided to postpone a full year, to give time for our guests and also to let enough time pass for this outbreak. The date is a full tear because the dates mean something to us although we couldnt line up the exact dates with our vendors availability. So now we have decided to go to court on our scheduled wedding date and next year we will have a “vow renewal/celebration of marriage” so we can still have our wedding entourage, vows said out loud, my dad walk me down the aisle, and the special wedding dances too, with everyone to celebrate with. It sucks because its a long time from now and I had to cancel very close to date but at least I am prepared for our wedding for the most part lol

View Quoted Comment Also not to mention, more and more people kept cancelling as the date got closer because the spread of virus is getting worse

Mine is the 21st, I have had most of my family cancel which I told them it was ok although I am sad about it. I would rather them around for longer. The 21st is our dating anniversary and I don't want to wait another year either, especially since I just spent the last year and a half planning. We are a little nervous with Inslees decoration of no events over 250 and events under must have approval. I am very neverous our city ran venue is going to shut down. So far we have these back up plans:

Friends property

Park

Casino (tribal land doesn't have to follow the rules)

A resturant

Our Apartment with our cats and parents

Best of luck

Oh no I am so sorry to hear! My parents are still coming but they are under 50. My family who has to fly has cancelled. Glad to see all your vendors were helpful!

Hi there, so sorry you are going through this too, you're not alone! I've just posted a lengthy message regarding this issue. I think it would really help you to read it.
