My wedding is scheduled for May 1st 2020. My Fiancé is in the military stationed in Maryland. Due to COVID-19, the government is not allowing our military domestic travel till after our wedding date. Our wedding is taking place in South Carolina. Unfortunately our invitation's already were sent out and we have been receiving RSVP's. I'm calling all my vendors Monday to see what options I have. I fear we will lose our money, and a year of planning, time, and energy will be for nothing. Heartbroken over the situation, any other brides affected?
Re: Coronavirus Is canceling My Wedding
My wedding is May 16th - with 90% of our guests coming from out of state. With the recommendation that no events larger than 50 people (which I'm assuming includes event staff), we're looking at having to postpone as well. I haven't slept more than 3 hours a night in a week. Heartbroken for sure.
Our guests being from away, we sent out our invitations early and have received about half back. Probably 1/4 of them have health issues that would prevent them from being able to travel without stopping at public facilities during their drive.
We purchased wedding insurance back in December, which I added event cancellation and postponement to, thinking we'd be more likely to have a severe weather event.
I've tried to get our add-on events covered as well, but insurance companies put a moratorium on any new cancellation or postponement coverage.
