Postponing

Sulema, on June 27, 2020 at 12:41 AM Posted in Community Conversations 0 6
Hello everyone, I am in need of positive energy. My fiancé proposed we postpone our November wedding. His and my grandmothers are in a different country and can’t travel because of the borders being closed and because they are high risk. We had decided to move it to March at first, but I suggested to move it until November. If we in fact get a second wave this fall I am afraid we will have to postpone again. I wanted to still move forward with the wedding but his grandmothers being here is huge for him. I am just so heartbroken since I’ve been planning and trying on dresses. I was actually choosing a dress this weekend but I will be canceling as well as changing dates to everything. I feel upset with my fiancé and disappointed. I stopped planning everything and getting used to the idea that it wasn’t going to happen. In May my fiancé and I talked and agreed to move forward. We had talked about a small wedding with just family and really close friends. I stared planning our backyard wedding. Now he wants us to cancel everything all together until next year in Nov. Do I have the right to feel upset with him? Or should I just get over it and move on?

    Honestly I'd feel upset too especially if we agreed upon doing something smaller then changing his mind to cancelling it to next year. I would sit down and talk, and ask him what made him change his mind? & how you were looking forward to planning a small scale wedding. See if you can compromise . I know a lot of people use zoom & have a vow renewal a year later.

    I feel upset for you. Can there be a compromise? I think you should proceed with your backyard wedding not just for your own emotions but I truly do think we don’t know what’s ahead... and I’m not trying to be a Debbie downer, I hate what’s happening with wedding and I had to postpone my own big day BUT to be honest we don’t even know if 2021 is going to be all cleared.....


    Trust YOUR GUT and talk it out. I’m sure his grandmothers would understand if you did a backyard thing because of the fact that we are in a pandemic...

    I would be upset with the situation, but not with him. It's a reasonable concern and I think it needs to be a decision you come to together. The situation is very difficult to navigate for everyone. You of course have a right to your feelings, but I'm sure his intentions weren't to hurt you.

    I would be upset at situation but not at him. He is probably upset at situation too.


    My fiancé is also telling me we might have to cancel our nov wedding too. We don’t want anyone to become sick and have it be our fault for having a wedding party. We are still uncertain what to do but together I think we have decided to just have a few 10 people instead of the 50 ppl invited. We are trying to figure out what to do. I think I am going to send out a postcard to everyone with an update. I am waiting till next month in case things get better but it’s looking more like we are going to have to cancel everything we had planned. It’s a bummer as I started this planning journey over a year and a half ago and a lot of work and thought went I to it. I’ve already had people that rsvp yes decide they can’t come due to covid and I’m sure there’s more since I live in phx one of the the most current hot spots. It sucks!
    I hope you two talk and come to s plan you both can live with. He may just be worried about the cost or health of family members but ask him what his thoughts are. Maybe he just wants to have the party you planned so wants to postpone in time to still be able to have that.
    I wish we didn’t have to deal with all this. I am telling myself the most important thing is to be married to my best friend overall. It stinks there might not be a wedding or party. It stinks I cannot honeymoon in Hawaii anymore but we will make the most of it. We decided to make an adventure of it and drive to Colorado and Utah and stay and small bed and breakfasts to have time together. We will do something special just for us.
