Covid-19

As of right now I’m staying on June 20th! Though I live in NY we have zero cases in our county and surrounding counties. So far all of my venues are on board with NOT canceling. I’m taking things day by day and hoping for the best. I think I will make a better decision in the middle of May!

I'm the 20th too. We are waiting as long as we can before we make the decision. Probably until mid May since a majority of our guests are local to us. My shower was postponed because on site dining is prohibited until 4/7 but if things aren't back to "normal" in Mass. by May, will probably end up cancelling.
If your guests all have your wedding website, they know the details. I would hold off on mailing the invites.

Hi Kara! It's definitely a crazy time of stress and uncertainty for everyone!

We've started gathering helpful resources in our COVID-19 Wedding Support Central, and you can connect with other June brides facing the same tough questions in this discussion:

June 2020 Weddings - How's everyone feeling?

I'm getting married in June as well, and have also had a two and a half year engagement! As of right now I am trying to hold out until at least mid April to see what happens. However I did reach out to the venue and asked what other dates are available as a just in case! Let's hope it works out for us! Good luck!

My wedding is a destination wedding in Florida on the same date as you. Florida is a hotspot for COVID-19 right now. I am hoping it will be okay by then but working through this as a nurse is starting to make me nervous. I am holding out and will be reaching out to vendors about postponing and the policies and whatnot in mid- April.. I still think it is still too early to cancel, I just don't know and I HATE not knowing right now.

Also this really is changing every single day...by the hour. Everyday I show up to work there is something new so we really just do not have enough information.

View Quoted Comment You have been engaged as long as us!! Keep me updated on what you decide to do! Good luck!

View Quoted Comment I can def understand how it makes you nervous being a nurse. I supervise a crisis intervention team out of hospital in PA. It makes me nervous also! I wish you the best of luck! I hope that it all works out. I think I’m not going to worry about it but that’s easier said and done! Lol

View Quoted Comment Andrea! Thanks for sharing! Keep me updated on what you decide to do. I am in PA. I hope the best for you! It’s easy to say that you aren’t gonna to worry but now is the time where I feel like I should be starting to tie up the loose ends but don’t want to do that if the wedding isn’t happening in June! Thanks for understanding my pain! My FH is just like it will be what it will be. Mean while I am over here like let’s just have someone ordained so they can at least marry us on that day 😂

I say go for it! I am having to postpone my April 11th wedding because too many of my guests are cancelling. I am considering moving mine to June 26th. Worst case you invitations say the date you wanted, and you have to postpone to another date. Best case you get you wedding on the day you have wanted for 2 years!

I wish you all the best and completely understand your stress!

You will be fine I think. No cases and once their is a cure, which will be very soon. it will be over quickly.

I agree, just wait as long as you can. In the end, people will come together to not only celebrate you but the joy of being able to celebrate life with those they love too! Speaking from a April Bride that is postponing...keep hope.

View Quoted Comment Sarah! I’m so sorry to hear about you having to postpone such a happy time! Thinking of you during this difficult time!

I ended up getting in touch with me venue, and here in Mass everything is set to end April 7th and they suggested to continue on with my June wedding! (unless things take a turn of course) So i suggest talking to your venue and see what they suggest! Good luck!!!

Thank you for your kindness. (: I am ok, there are worse things.

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.

All the best,

We are planning to go forward with our 6/20/20 wedding, if we can. We sent out invites already but have a small guest list to contact if things change. Also, we have decided to do an elopement with just us and our officiant sooner, for legality and because it just feels right in all the uncertainty. We love our date of 6/20/20 but know that it might not happen and don't want to wait any longer than that to get married.

Are wedding is June 20th. We had sent out our invitations right before all the craziness started. We live in Pennsylvania, but our wedding and reception are both in upstate NY. Our venue told us to forge ahead, so unless the venue cancels we are moving ahead as planned. If we have to come up with a plan B, I may lose my mind.

View Quoted Comment Thank you so much for this❤️ I needed validation that postponing the wedding was the best idea. I still have not made a final decision but I want to enjoy my wedding! I want it to be a celebration. I don’t want people to be worried and afraid. I don’t want to worry and be afraid. I just do not feel like even if the guidelines change that it will be enough time to get things back to normal. I feel like these next few months I should be enjoying getting ready and I can’t do that because I’m worried about my loved ones getting COVID-19. I really appreciate reading everyone’s post and getting inspiration. I realize that there are definitely more important things to worry about right now, but it’s definitely tough to postpone! Thanks everyone!

View Quoted Comment I’m so glad to hear that my post helped you feel less worried Kara. Wishing you nothing but happiness in the days ahead and smooth sailing ❤️

To be honest, my wedding isnt until Nov 2020 BUT the news is reporting that we may have a second wave of this in the Fall so Ive been thinking about possibly postponing my wedding now.

I need to make a decision by August or even earlier prob July. But I want the wedding I am planning for an not have to cancel it. So if I do Postpone it Im looking at Feb, March or April 2021 in FL (that is where Im getting married, I live in NY). So its important for me to know by a certain time so guests dont start buying plane tickets. I already have warned some guests about purchasing tickets so that they are aware of my thoughts of possibly postpoing. To buy insurance for their plane tix in case they want to buy them.

Id be heartbroken if I had to move it. But no one thought of COVID19. Its hard to plan around.

my best to all you fellow brides during these uncertain times!!!!
