May wedding - caronavirus

[Dramalamaindeed]

Anyone else worried?

I have about 10 guests flying from various parts of the world - none of which are the high risk areas but who knows what 2 months will bring?

Then I’m worried we can’t have the wedding as no mass gatherings could be banned/ we could be sick.

I haven’t taken out insurance but thinking of doing it now but will they even cover it?

Haven’t they just cancelled weddings?

Another one here with no idea when to postpone to. What a fucking mess 🙁

@GreenTulips yes they have. Although he only mentioned a 3week lock down so far, it will be longer however

If it were me I would be postponing till summer 2021 at the earliest. There is no way this will be over by the Autumn.

Sorry yes, didn’t put the two things together, I’d also assume longer

We've rescheduled until end of Oct. We thought long and hard about this. Yes it's a risk but at the same time we need something to look forward to and have a bit of hope for.
We are prepared that it might not go ahead, even in Oct.
We hope to move the legal stuff to anytime we can move it. If it just means a lunchtime on a tues with 2 witnesses we'll do it so we can wear our wedding rings. However even the legal side might take months to be allowed and to reschedule due to everyone being in the same position x

Our venue finally conceded that they had to close two hours before Boris' announcement. They emailed us the remaining dates for this year after June, and all of next year... there's basically no dates.

I've just sent an email asking for a refund. We'd been asking anyway, nicely, because of the major changes to the venue that they made... but I've gone a bit stronger today and asked for them to refund everything that we've paid so far. It looks like insurance won't cover anything at all...

I was due to pick my dress up in 4 minutes... Yesterday I got called in today; I had to agree to go alone with one other person in the shop, try it on in a mask and gloves and take it with me. It's stuck at the shop now...

I know there's bigger things happening, but with this and my business dropping, I'm struggling to see any light.

My daughter was due to get married on May 9th and the registrar phoned her to say all weddings had been halted.
She's deciding to go for Christmas/New Year instead.

I’ve emailed my venue to ask to postpone indefinitely, given that no one can predict when this will be over.
We are mainly sad about the fact that DP’s parents are very elderly (his dad is nearly 90) and not in the best of health, so if the wedding is too far in the future, they may not be around to see us get married :-(

@ShellsAndSunrises

Did they refund?

My venue is refusing to refund anything. They said they’re not in a position to refund.

I’ve emailed my insurers but doubt I’ll get any refund.

@dramalamaindeed No reply yet, and although the lady we spoke to on Monday said that she’d be checking emails, the autoreply now says that the venue is closed, all weddings are cancelled or rescheduled until the end of June and that emails and calls won’t be responded to...

I’ll give them until early afternoon and explore insurance/other options. How did you pay for yours? I haven’t used my law degree in a while but I’m brushing it off for this! I can’t lose everything we saved...

Hi everyone, Just thought I would give you my update. My local Church of England Church emailed me today asking if I wanted to postpone or go ahead. She said as it stands no weddings are taking place & everyone before me has cancelled - she said I would be the first wedding in our parish for 2020 if I keep the booking. She advised I postpone. She said her wedding is in September and everyone has told her to postpone it to next year. What would you do in my situation ?

When is your wedding whatnext?
