COVID19 Bride

This has been difficult for me to talk about because I never have imagined this happening to me or any other Bride. A time where It's suppose to be happy with wedding planning and getting close to the wedding. The actual big day where not only myself but my entire family and friends have been waiting for. With everything going on right now, We had to postpone the wedding. This has been extremely hard on me because I've been planning and preparing for this day for over a year and a half. I wanted to share my experience because I know that there are so many other brides that are going through the same thing. Days coming up to the day we decided we have to postpone the wedding were so stressful and my anxiety was up the wall. I literally cried everyday. I had to take a short break from the world, watching the news, getting on social media because everything made me super depressed. I'm not writing this to whine and bitch about not having a wedding when something much bigger is happening in the world but it does REALLY suck. A day I was looking forward to since I was little, over a year of planning, just to have to push it further. And because of this there has to be more stressful planning, and so much more money that have to be spent.

When I collected my thoughts after the news that we had to postpone our wedding, I first called the venue to see when is their next available dates, when we selected the date that we wanted then contacted every single one of our vendors to see if the new date works for everyone and how each contract with each vendor looks like.

I still have to make our change our date cards and then send out new invitations with RSVPs.

I'm so thankful that most of our vendors were very understanding of the whole situation and was able to transfer our deposits to our new date. Some still wanted to stick to contract. So yes, Its going to be more expensive to move your wedding date because there was a lot of details that go into changing your date. With everything that's still going on, everything is still so uncertain so we are hoping everything will be okay on our new date.

Trying to be positive through everything and taking it day by day. Being in quarantine has made me realize to never take anything or any moment big or little for granted. So here is to our future wedding, may it be even more special and big and filled with lots of love!
