Sept 2020 ky Wedding- Stressed Out!

Amanda, on July 12, 2020 at 7:21 PM Posted in Kentucky Planning 0 6
Let me start by saying I'm a very planned and prepared person. So the not knowing from day-to-day of what changes could take place or if our wedding is going to be cancelled by the govnt is stressful enough, but now we are wrestling with the decision ourselves of postponing the wedding or to continue to go on with it. We are aware of our current restrictions and limited guest count of 50 (which is taking us down to pretty much just immediate family). We have had a couple family members to decline coming bc they will be required to self-quarantine for 14 days after returning if they were to attend. My MOH which is also the groom's sister may not make it either due to that same reason. We are unsure if we will receive any of our deposits back or if they would be applied to a later date even IF all the vendors are available on a selected date. So we could be looking at loosing over $1000 in deposits. The plan is to call the venue tomorrow to see what our options are with them at least. I want to continue on with the wedding if we are able to with the guest count at 50. I will hate it if family members are not able to come or choose not to, but this date is important to me, I have everything pretty much set and ready to go, and I feel like this virus may be around for the long haul so when do you even postpone to and would people even come then. But the groom doesn't want to miss out on his family being there and doesnt want to put anyone at risk for the virus and would really prefer if we could have a higher guest count back. Which I agree with all of those. I'm not a horrible person and dont care about the attendees or the virus, I just have the feeling to go on with the wedding unless it were to get shutdown by the state. We have to make this decision probably this week whether we postpone or continue to move forward with our wedding plans set. Any advice? (Sorry so long of a post)

    This is a highly frustrating time and there is nothing wrong with wanting a lot of people there. I am on the side of getting married is about you two and now how many people can make it. I agree it is better not to risk anyone's health or yours so it is ok if people do not feel comfortable. I honestly would not lose out on money just to have a higher guest count. If anything plan a larger party for people that would have come to the wedding maybe at a later date when at least this virus is under control. Many brides are live streaming their weddings for guests that cannot make it. You mention the date is important to you so the decision is up to you two whereas do you want to wait an entire year before getting married? Some brides do but many do not. I do not mean to sound rude rather give the perspective of sadly this virus is not going away soon and it sucks horribly so I do empathize with brides that have to change their wedding plans that they have had for a long time but to me it is about marrying your soulmate regardless of how or how many people can attend. I do hope whatever decision you two make you will feel it was the right one and it will be for you two. Smiley smile

    Thank you for your comment! I hope that what we choose is right for us as well. It's just difficult being on different sides of the fence and almost letting the vendor make the decision for you. Bc it seems like if we can get our money back or most things would work out for a postponed date with our deposits being applied to the new date, then that's automatically the choice. Not really what I want, but I am aware that I cant always have what I want. It has to be a compromise.

    I think you are on the right path to talk to the vendors and see what you can do and then ultimately decide what you two prefer: postpone or keep the date. I know you two will do what is best.

    I'm just popping on to say that I feel you, and it's so stressful. Our wedding is 08/08/2020 and we still have no idea what we are doing because in my area, the gathering size restrictions are set to increase sometime this month. Until we know what the new numbers will be, we can barely plan. It's going to be a chaotic few weeks for us.
