Miel – Congratulations! I know the exact emotions you are going through.
We only had three days notice for our cancelled wedding and I think that was a blessing. We didn’t have time to think – we just had to act. I have a lot of mixed feelings about the wedding we were supposed to have and the wedding we ended up having. But at the end of the day I got to marry my husband on my grandparents anniversary – and that was the ultimate goal.
I will toast to you on May 15, and to my other friend who should have been getting married May 16, and all the other couples that gave up their days for all this.
My only advice, not that you asked for it, is to make it as special as you can. We had time to eat breakfast together, I took a bubble bath. We had flowers from the grocery store. We got a cake and carry out Italian for our 7 guests. It’s your wedding day and it’s deserving of a celebration. Congratulations again !
Thank you Fyodor! 1.5 months in and we still like each other! We were even featured in the local paper yesterday in a story about pandemic weddings!
@LadyE and @BGM I literally laughed out loud at all of this exchange!
Copa he sounds very thoughtful and sweet.
Link comes up as malware on my computer so I’d recommend not clicking it to anyone else.
My husband and I went for a hike on a conservation trail yesterday because the weather was beautiful. Ran into a family with three kids and they all kept their distance but smiled and waived. It was nice to see some civilization and get out and get fresh air.
My experience in stores has been that about 50% are wearing masks, most of them improperly.
@copa SIL wedding was officially postponed last week until August. It was originally early May. She’s sad but she’s at the mercy of Disney. And the silver lining to all of this is she’s been so much kinder to me because both of our weddings were impacted by this and MofV this she’s finally got some perspective on all this.
So far so good on the quarantine. The house is big enough we can spread out if we need to but we haven’t really. He works in the dining room and I work in the living room. He has to be logged in from 8-5 whereas my boss doesn’t care as long as I get my work done. Yesterday we drank mimosas and wine all day and binged all four lethal weapon movies – so we clearly didn’t get anything done on Easter lol.
Feel better soon Helen!
Wendy – I know you’re fried right now – would you consider guest essays? Like you’ve done in the past? Posts from readers or guests? Reader recommendations? That way you just have to do some editing and throw it up there (presumably?). I’d be happy to bang out an essay about crisis wedding planning in a pandemic and throwing something together in four days!
Maybe the community could help you keep the site going? What do you think?
Thank you all for the kind words 🙂 We are hoping to have a big Halloween party/reception assuming this all calms down by then and renew our vows with our friends and have a big costume party. Fingers crossed.
10 days into marriage and it’s going pretty great. We adopted a new dog, got all our thank you cards written and cleaned the house from top to bottom.
I hope everyone is doing well out there – stay safe and healthy friends.
The wedding was nothing like we imagined but it was everything we needed. We married on a deck with just our parents and his sister and our dog. Then we ate lasagna and went home and had ice cream. It was perfect. As I said in my vows, it was never about the party – it was about marrying him.
The wedding we planned has been cancelled by the venue.
We will still be getting married on Friday. Immediate family and bridal party only. A small cabin. Lasagna and cake.
It’s not what we wanted, but at the end of the day we’ll be married – and that’s what we ultimately wanted.
