Is anyone still holding onto their wedding this year?

[RLG92]

Who actually thinks weddings are still going to go ahead this summer? Do you think their will be restrictions? I'm so undecided in what to do

@iVampire I dread to think this could end up being the case. They can’t stop all weddings with more than a few guests forever, and given that not everyone will be immune to this virus even after catching it or after being vaccinated (there are 30+ strains already!), there is no point in cancelling everything. But what I wish was done was to take example from countries who have avoided major lockdowns and who have the situation under control while allowing some events to take place. They must be doing something right.

We were willing to spend a couple of hundred to have that option though but they offered it to us!

@Inferiorbeing Hope you get the wedding you want. It helps that you know the venue manager. Hopefully they will keep helping you as much as possible.

Mine is 2nd of October - it’s a small registry office one too, so I’m hopeful the ceremony at least may go ahead, even if we have the party at a later date. The uncertainty is horrible though!

Mine is still scheduled for July!

Is it just me who is now desperate to know what the 'most expensive date of the year is'?

How many will wait the full year for the same date next year if possible?

My dress suits my time of year so I’d probably need to.

My DS is due to get married mid June and emigrate mid July. Emigrating can't be postponed due to Brexit, he starts University in his new country mid August and expects to have to quarantine first.They are hoping that they can at least get married even if they won't have the wedding they planned.

I am intrigued too!!

Yes, I'll be waiting the full year, which is one of the reasons I wanted to see if they would hold it provisionally for me, but it doesn't look like.

Not us but we were due to go to two weddings this month. One has been postponed to early Oct and the other May next year. Both big events, I will be amazed if the October one goes ahead but I've got everything crossed for them!

Thanks name change for that positive post from someone not even getting married this year

Can you tell I'm tetchy? I just feel like it's spoiled everything, somehow.

Our wedding is tiny so it’s not too inconvenient guest wise to postpone but I just don’t like the thought of waiting another year - what if we can’t get all the same suppliers? What if I go off my dress? Will the bridesmaids dresses still fit? Stressful! Everyone just keeps telling me wait and see but I still want to vent.

If it's only a small wedding I'm sure you'll be ok.

Im a bridemaid at a wedding in early sept. The bride sent the invites out last week so im assuming she still intends on going ahead.

We've not cancelled for August yet. The registrar has said th at we can hold on and see what the situation is up to a month before hand, so it just depends if venue has reopened and we can come together. Most people have accommodation and transport arranged. We have kept it reasonably simple so it's easily adapted and we won't lose to much money. I'm 10weeks pregnant so debating to make a dress or not.

Sorry guys it's really not that exciting! Its 8/8 but it was the most expensive as we had a lot of competition for that date (2 other couples) and we really wanted it for personal reasons and are paying slightly more than the going rate. Oh the irony now

Hahaha!

We’re still holding out for our end of October wedding going ahead but am prepared to do something much smaller if we need to. We have 50 guests planned but anticipate that they’ll be fewer coming. We sent our invitations out just before this all kicked off with an rsvp date of today and so far we’ve heard from 3 people. I expect lots of older guests won’t want to travel.

We want to start ttc after the wedding, due to our ages I don’t want to delay by too long but it does make me a bit sad to think we may never get to have the wedding we’d dreamed of.

Mines August. It's not yet cancelled. I'm hopeful. Deluded it's been planned since Jan 2019

I think it’s pretty likely they’ll open weddings to small groups eg 10 very soon. They won’t want a massive backlog. We are planning to get married as soon as possible with just two witnesses and sort party later.

Ours is 11 plus us so I don’t know what we’d do if they said under 10 because we’d really really struggle to choose who wouldn’t come because it’s only very close family (parents etc) anyway :(

Mine was planned for later this month and the venue and registry office cancelled.
Venue is too busy to even try and fit us in later this year, so gave us a date for May next year.
Registry office won't even consider rearranging for 3 to 6 months. If we can't book the registry office for our new date, we will have to go back to the drawing board. Luckily the venue are really friendly and flexible so I thin they will try to accommodate us.
