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

If all goes to plan then hospitality could start to re-open in July 🤞🏻 A bit of hope?

I have no idea what to think any more.

Me neither and I don’t want to start pestering the venue when they will have May, June and July brides to deal with first.

Mine in meant to be on December 19th. Just 22 guests and I’m hopeful but uncertain if it will go ahead.

DD2’s was late June. Now rescheduled for the same weekend next year.

Not a big do, luckily - register office ceremony, big combined family lunch out, then gathering at her in-laws’ house in the late afternoon/evening.

Our family will be staying in a big country house let, which we’ve been able to defer at the same cost.

Just hoping everything will actually be normal (ish) again by next summer...

@Bridecilla
The other part of me says it's something nice to look forward to. It's difficult.

That’s exactly how we’re feeling too

Meant to be mid Sept. Haven’t made any decisions yet - our venue has availability for early Dec but who even knows if that will be OK.

If (when?) it inevitably gets cancelled I think we’ll just try for a small registry office wedding when we can, and then a party at a later date.

We were due to get married in April. Obviously didn’t go ahead and we haven’t rescheduled anything. We just want to get married when it’s safe to do so. It’s sad that we won’t have the photos and memories to look back on but we felt we couldn’t put ourselves through the stress of rescheduling and then wondering what if?? As long as we get married legally that’s all we are now bothered about. Absolutely gutted we missed out on a honeymoon holiday though!!

Havent booked yet but me and dp are hoping to get a statutory ceremony in at some point this year.

How’s everyone feeling after today’s announcements? Not much clarity but he said they’ll be measures to implement small ceremonies form 1st June, which has given me hope we’ll be able to het married this year, even if we won’t be able to have quite the wedding we’d wanted.

I'm almost certainly not going to be able to have a wedding for 100 people in December. I just wish my venue would open so I could reschedule now

After the updates today I think people will be able to legally get married this year, whether that is the wedding people want is a different story. Small weddings, I'd say no more than essential people in attendance and probably no more than 10 people in total and I would suspect from no earlier than July, probably later. Just my opinion. And obviously this is all subject to change depending on what happens in the next few weeks.

Who to cull from my list if we’re only allowed 10? (Looking at your MIL/FIL )

When did he address weddings?

@Boredsheep It’s in that document they produced shortly afterwards. They are looking at facilitating small weddings from around June.

Just moved mine from august to may

I've emailed the venue again! I'm getting really tense about not being able to secure a provisional different date!

@Sapphire387 I can’t see about weddings in there - do you know what page it is on please?

@AnxiousElephant77 what is your venue saying? Ours will not book in a provisional date until 8 weeks before.

It’s on page 31 as labelled at top of each page (when I read it on my phone, my phone reckons it’s page 35, very odd).

About halfway down.

The events staff are all furloughed. Emails are being responded to by the reception team, they've said that they are only offering new dates to events currently affected.

@AnxiousElephant77

I've accidentally name changed half way through this thread but my heart really goes out to you!

Just going to keep crossing everything. I suppose at least no events are being booked

Our daughter deferred hers from July until next May. Getting the date was a bit challenging as many suppliers were already committed on most dates and trying to get a date all the ones booked could manage wasn’t easy.

I'm not worried about anything else except my venue. I've only paid deposits to my suppliers, and I've got all my dresses. My florist is a family friend so that's fine. My hair and make up artists and photographer I'm sure I could replace if needed.

@Sapphire387 thank you - found it. Not much clarification there
