Wedding Woes

What to do after postponement?

My wedding was supposed to be three weeks away but this weekend we made the heartbreaking decision to postpone. I'm sure there are many other brides out there that had to do the same in the current situation of the world and really we know it was the only choice we had in order to keep our guests safe. We were lucky that all of our vendors were very flexible and we have a new date and its not really one I would have chosen but I know that we have to be flexible. I've already have had a few guests who were supposed to come to the wedding tell us they won't be able to make it on the new date. I can't help but feel devastated that all the hard work and planning has gone out the window. Everyone just keeps telling me it will be beautiful no matter what and I know it will be great but also that it will not be what it was. How are other brides coping? 

Obviously I also understand that in the grand scheme of things, our wedding is nothing compared to what is going on right now. Just wanted to clarify that I haven't lost perspective, I'm just sad.

Re: What to do after postponement?

  • Yes, there's a huge, scary thing going on in the world right now that's bigger than any of us, but it's still okay to be disappointed about how it's affecting you personally. Allow yourself some time to be sad about having to postpone your wedding and to get used to how the wedding will now be different, then try to focus on other things until your new date is closer. 

    When the wedding day arrives, keep your perspective, as you are doing now. Focus on the fact that you are marrying someone you love and don't spend the day dwelling on what could have been. Because you're absolutely right that it will still be a beautiful and memorable day, even if it's not quite the day you originally envisioned.

  • Even though it's not a wedding, I feel you on the disappointment of canceling things you are looking forward to. I felt the same over a broadway show that was coming to my city.

    When the day comes, maybe try to find something special to do with your spouse. Acknowledge you'll be upset but it doesn't mean you cannot rebook later, and it doesn't mean you aren't together now.
  • I’m sorry. You’re allowed to feel sad and disappointed. It’s totally understandable.
