Every week we will share a story of a future #GLBride who had to postpone their wedding due to Covid-19. Lets meet this weeks bride.
Due to the current situation, some of our brides had to postpone their weddings. We decided to share their inspiring stories in hope that their experiences will help other brides out there going through the same!
Positive Thoughts
"I am feeling extremely enthusiastic and back in wedding mode! I finally feel like a bride again and the anticipation has made us even more excited! The future looks bright, and this experience has only deepened our love and has made us so grateful for the lives that we get to spend together."
Decision Making
"It was a decision I knew must be made but had a hard time accepting it. We were having a very big wedding of 500 guests! Based on that number and people having to travel from all over the world, we knew our loved ones’ safety came first."
Concerns
"Our biggest concern was having to possibly postpone the wedding a second time if the virus was not controlled by our new wedding date. We picked what made the most sense to us, but living in a state of uncertainty definitely keeps us on our toes. We didn’t want to postpone another year."
Moving Forward
"Postponing a wedding also means postponing your bridal shower and your bachelorette party. Don't rush things, you want to savor each moment. You don't want to miss out on anything! If you can't fit in your bachelorette before the wedding, think outside the box and do it after your wedding. It will continue your wedding bliss, and you get to gush about all the wedding details with your best friends. Everything truly happens for a reason; your new wedding date will supersede all of your expectations."
Words of Wisdom
"Keep an open mind when thinking of backup plans, but don't compromise on what matters to you the most. Don't be persuaded by venues, vendors, family, or friends on what they think is best. Don't let COVID-19 steal your bridal joy or define your special journey."
