20.05 for us.
Just praying it goes ahead. What else can we do right now...

UKbride Member 19 Mar 2020

21st August

UKbride Member 19 Mar 2020

We get married in 17 days everything being well. Weve already not got a best man and mu partners dad cant make it due to flights being cancelled. But we are keeping positive. It's only a day for us to get married so will have a big party after this is all blown over.

UKbride Member 19 Mar 2020

How about coronavirus and a spring 2020 wedding, 22 days, fingers and toes crossed it goes ahead 😫

UKbride Member 19 Mar 2020

8th August 🙏

UKbride Member 19 Mar 2020

Mine was the 6th June but we have decided to do it next year now - wishing everything goes right for all future brides

UKbride Member 19 Mar 2020

Hope! All I can have is hope 🤞🏻 22/07/2020. I’ve spoken to my venue and gone over our options, which is a smaller wedding or move to a low peak month next year 😢 so hope is all we have, just taking it week by week. X

UKbride Member 19 Mar 2020

I get married 25th july. Everything is fine so far unless the government say otherwise

UKbride Member 19 Mar 2020

I must admit I'm scared ours is 1st August and a lot of thing have been paid for and are none refundable

UKbride Member 19 Mar 2020

29th August!
Don’t forget about the ability to Live Stream your wedding if you have guests that can’t be there. There are companies out there that can help you do this and it is all secure as you and your guests are given a unique code for the server so no one else can watch it. Or you can do this yourself if your venue or you have WiFi and someone can set up a YouTube Channel that is set to a private where you add your guests to it so they can view it as it happens. Just because people aren’t physically there, they can still see your special day and share it. 😊👍🏻

UKbride Member 19 Mar 2020

I've suggested to a future bride to get insurance if she hasn't already, speak to the venue on the possibility of moving the date. Those who are in the next Chile if wks or so may very well struggle but those who are in the summer I think will be ok. I've heard that this virus wool likely calm sorry alive summer and may very well pickup again in winter good luck to you all x

UKbride Member 19 Mar 2020

28th may 70 days hopefully

UKbride Member 19 Mar 2020

UKbride Member 19 Mar 2020

UKbride Member 19 Mar 2020

I’m 17th May not sure what’s happening. Been told if I postpone this is breach on contract and lose money. If theres a government legislation then I can change dates without cost.

UKbride Member 19 Mar 2020

Tasha Gearing Reading these comments you might want to call your venue just in case xx

UKbride Member 19 Mar 2020

UKbride Member 19 Mar 2020

29th August, keeping everything crossed and hoping the storm has passed by then 🙏🤞

UKbride Member 19 Mar 2020

31st July for us and we have decided that if the evening venue cancels then we will just have the registry office ceremony as planned and then have a big party at a later date or cut down the evening do to just the people who are coming to the ceremony (we are very limited to 30 guests). Fingers crossed for everyone that our weddings can all still go ahead 🤞

UKbride Member 19 Mar 2020

UKbride Member 19 Mar 2020

24th May for us.. scary times for us all for what should be our happiest day ever.
Not sure what’s happening as yet with our wedding. Let’s all pray this devastation passes soon for everyone 🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿💔💔💔

UKbride Member 19 Mar 2020

April 2020 wedding 😢

UKbride Member 19 Mar 2020

30th August! I'm worried sick, all the time and effort to organise and everything is up in the air. We have a honeymoon straight after, just hope it is all over by then

UKbride Member 19 Mar 2020

Ours was meant to be the 30th of may but had to cancel ours yesterday due to family from another country not being able to attend due to being in self isolation and minister unable to do a service with my guests there. I think I cried for a good 3hrs straight over it. Good luck to everyone getting married this year.

UKbride Member 19 Mar 2020

16th May. Stressful times indeed. We still unsure what happening with our wedding. Our reception venue currently still open and have said as it currently stands our wedding still on but we may need to readdress our church wedding plans due to new church laws but waiting to hear from vicar today. 😔🤞

UKbride Member 19 Mar 2020

37 days for me. 25th of April. Fingers crossed for everyone that you can either go ahead or make suitable rearrangements!

UKbride Member 19 Mar 2020

I’m the 21st August and the venue has kindly offered to move us with no money lost. I don’t want the added stress of what’s happening with 5 months to go. So we have decided to move to next year to take the pressure off. We have a number of older people invited and we don’t want to put them at risk.
Thinking of you all at this difficult time x

UKbride Member 19 Mar 2020

6th june everything still going ahead atm, hen do on 11th april thats still on as well x

UKbride Member 19 Mar 2020

14th May, in cyprus :( safe to say we are now trying to find alternative arrangements at home :-/

UKbride Member 19 Mar 2020

6th of June. Postponed yesterday to 5th of September. 😐

UKbride Member 19 Mar 2020

We are 2nd May and not heard as of yet but going with it being cancelled I think. Horrible times for us all but we have decided to marry quietly as soon as we can and then rebook our venue when things pick up. Sending love to you all xx

UKbride Member 19 Mar 2020

I was 23rd of May 2020. I have had to postpone my day... we have managed to get almost everything moved with no extra cost, which is a relief

UKbride Member 19 Mar 2020

21 July, still currently on until we hear different 🤞

UKbride Member 19 Mar 2020

2nd May - wedding not going ahead 😞

UKbride Member 19 Mar 2020

30th july, so far, fingers crossed all is going ahead, hopefully it will have all blown over by then!

UKbride Member 19 Mar 2020

Ours was 1st May, already have alternative dates from venue (who've been great). Advised all guests and suppliers yesterday, everyone has been so supportive.

UKbride Member 19 Mar 2020

26th June.... so far all still going ahead 🤞

UKbride Member 19 Mar 2020

27th March 😬

UKbride Member 19 Mar 2020

We were the 5th of june 2020. We have made the decision to postpone until the 6th of june 2021

UKbride Member 19 Mar 2020

April 25th, still hoping we can go through with it!!

UKbride Member 19 Mar 2020

Our local registration service has said they recommend postponing weddings but if you decide to go ahead they will only do this with you and two witnesses. My sister is due to get married in 5 weeks 😢

UKbride Member 19 Mar 2020

Mine 19th sept.keep thinking about postponing then i think we will wait a couple of months to see what happens.stressing me out what to do

UKbride Member 19 Mar 2020

2nd May! Postponed, absolutely heartbroken as this is now the 2nd time we’ve had to do so 😢! Don’t think the universe wants me to be married!

UKbride Member 19 Mar 2020

28th May - nothing but stress right now, meant to be excited over these next 2 months but nothing but stress atm.. it is a special date to us which doesn't work for us next year so I really do not want to reschedule, but if we have to we have to. Luckily everyone has said we can free of charge dependent on them being free on the new date; we are holding out for as long as we can though! We are meant to be going to Italy the day after too which can also be arranged. And then south Africa and Mauritius in august which again the agent has said that can be postponed if need be dependent again on hotel availability etc.

I just keep thinking about all the things that will need rebuying, everything with the date on - we will have to do our notice of marriage again and I will have to send my passport back (as it has my new married name on) and re apply for my original name and then re apply again before the wedding date again 🤷🏻‍♀️

Thought we were done with all the planning and stresses 👰🏼👰🏻🥂

UKbride Member 19 Mar 2020

30th july ...getting confirmation from church today if going ahead totally distraught been planning this day forever xx

UKbride Member 19 Mar 2020

2nd May! We’ve had to move it to November! The venue and all of our suppliers have been amazing x

UKbride Member 19 Mar 2020

We are Saturday 25th July.

Nothing cancelled yet! Got my fingers and toes crossed though!! 🤞🏼 x

UKbride Member 19 Mar 2020

25th April. If anyone has insurance advice please let me know. I have insurance but until there is closure, there’s nothing I can do to claim

UKbride Member 19 Mar 2020

We are supposed to get married on the 11th of July. Vicar rang yesterday to say the church is closed for 12 weeks minimum. Normal wedding meeting planned with the venue on Sunday so will see what happens then. Its a big wedding, cost a fortune but if we have to postpone we are going to try and have a small church service (my partners nanna is 90 in May and not good health, she wants us married before she dies). We can always change the party bit. My hen doo in Magaluf was May and he wa going ti Ayia napa looks like that's cancelled. Fingers crossed everyone's goes ahead, just remember love conquers all and health is the most important thing xxx

UKbride Member 19 Mar 2020

28th August venue are telling us to keep planning but definitely feeling the stress!

UKbride Member 19 Mar 2020

24th August fingers crossed everything will have calmed down but then. think the hen and stag do's will be cancelled 1st may 😔

UKbride Member 19 Mar 2020

All I can say look what's happened in a month, who knows what it will be in 3, 4 or 5. I am hoping better. Talk is schools might come back during summer holidays.

UKbride Member 19 Mar 2020

20th May... still waiting to hear what the venue wants to do. They’re still open at the moment but who knows for how much longer xx

UKbride Member 19 Mar 2020

15th june in cyprus 😩 all suppliers have been great and are happy to move dates with me but I'm trap trap at the moment cant change date as all hotels are closed until 30th april and british airways wont let you change any holiday after 31st may so right now my hands are tied but what will be will be if its moved to another date so be it xxx

UKbride Member 19 Mar 2020

I get married this weekend! Definitely stressful!

UKbride Member 19 Mar 2020

1 August so keeping my fingers cross... Very glad I took out wedding insurance!

UKbride Member 19 Mar 2020

Mines 8th of may weve just postponed it 😭

UKbride Member 19 Mar 2020

22nd August ☹️

UKbride Member 19 Mar 2020

30th May still on for now xxx

UKbride Member 19 Mar 2020

Mines 19/06 and just been told we may have to postpone. Absolutely devastated, booked it 2 years ago 😥😥😥

UKbride Member 19 Mar 2020

23rd of May I'm passed stressing and just crossing each bridge as it comes. Health is the most important thing at the end of the day xx

UKbride Member 19 Mar 2020

I was booking mine on tuesday for aug 25th think it will be next year now 😞

UKbride Member 19 Mar 2020

We are supposed to get married 23rd May with honeymoon on 24th to Bali. We’ve been allowed to postpone our flight tickets to a later date which we have. I’m just Waiting to hear from my venue if I can postpone before the shutdown but it sounds like the shutdown is coming by the end of next week anyway. I just want a finalised decision and then I can relax again. X

UKbride Member 19 Mar 2020

Maisie Hazeldine keep updated on this feed be interesting to see what everyone else is doing x

UKbride Member 19 Mar 2020

Mines 10th October and even I'm Worried

UKbride Member 19 Mar 2020

17th may! Our venue is still open currently with no current look at closing but things are changing all the time. And honeymoon in dubai and Mauritius after! This is a crazy time to live in and why did it have to be this year! Also you can't get insurance out until August and it wouldn't cover the pandemic anyway. Luckily our suppliers have said they will move the date if need be pending they are available. Ahhhhh so stressed

UKbride Member 19 Mar 2020

Ours was supposed to be the 9th of April and we have decided to move it to August, we decided that everyone is stressed and worried atm. We can't have a nice bulid up and the day will probably have a weird atmosphere as some family will be unable to attend. So as upsetting as it is, we are hopeful that the situation in August will better than now at least! We're in this together ladies!!! Either way we're all getting married at some point! ❤️

UKbride Member 19 Mar 2020

We have postponed ours .We were due to get married on Saturday 21st March xxx

UKbride Member 19 Mar 2020

Postponed mine for 28th May - I just couldn't cope with the emotional stress of it all. The church then cancelled all services up to end of July anyway so we would have had our hands forced anwyay. We had to do it to protect our vulnerable guests - and I'm also in that category :-(

UKbride Member 19 Mar 2020

13th June... 12 weeks on Saturday. Just constantly feeling sick & can’t stop crying. As it stands venue, suppliers etc. are all still saying it will go ahead business as usual unless there is obviously an official government ban 😭💔 Just hoping & praying.

UKbride Member 19 Mar 2020

We're the 27th June and we're pretty much decided now to postpone it. It's a sad decision but we'd rather do it again when everyone who is important can be there (namely my dad who is classed as elderly and has health vulnerabilities). The main thing is that everyone stays healthy and safe (that's my only comfort after all this planning anyway!!)

UKbride Member 19 Mar 2020

😢 TO ANYONE ELSE WHOS CANCELLING THEIR PLANS - my heart is broken for you also.

We were getting married on July 4th, yesterday we made a devastating decision to cancel our wedding and move it to next year. And today my plans had been confirmed when the vicar messaged me to say that it’s highly likely plans will be cancelled for the next 15/16 weeks anyway and that I’m doing the right thing. I’m heartbroken and I’m so sorry if anyone is in the same boat. ❤️❤️

UKbride Member 19 Mar 2020

I get married on the 5th of june 2020 wedding still goin ahead and hen do is still goin ahead on the 4th of april x

UKbride Member 19 Mar 2020

4th July 2020 still going ahead so far

UKbride Member 19 Mar 2020

23rd may i think it will be cancelled 😪

UKbride Member 19 Mar 2020

14th may was do to fight out to Cyprus we was getting married out there so don't know when it going to happen now x

UKbride Member 19 Mar 2020

29th august 😭

UKbride Member 19 Mar 2020

Ladies, if anyone’s hen parties have been cancelled, please do message me and I’ll see if can help with activities that can still run! 💕 xx

UKbride Member 19 Mar 2020

Tam Oc

UKbride Member 19 Mar 2020

If I'm getting married In October this year should it still be okay to go ahead

UKbride Member 19 Mar 2020

5th July. Going ahead with all planning, keeping everything crossed all will be fine by then.
Hope you all have the day you wish for, even if not on the date you planned 🥰

UKbride Member 19 Mar 2020

June 13th am freaking out abit my nail lady has canceled all future bookings including my wedding day nails

UKbride Member 19 Mar 2020

8th August booked the honeymoon and paid for it and put deposits on everything 😢

UKbride Member 19 Mar 2020

We're meant to be getting married on 23rd of May, but we've made the decision today to start the process of rearranging 😩 absolutely heartbroken after 2 years of planning, but we can't afford to have things forcibly cancelled right at the last minute

UKbride Member 19 Mar 2020

12th May and in Zante 😢

UKbride Member 19 Mar 2020

27.6.2020
I have no idea what to do! Venue and suppliers are saying “business as usual” which is a term I am growing to hate! I have now held back on invites from fear of putting others in a difficult decision. If the government don’t make the call my wedding will be missing lots of vital people and if I make the call we would loose too much to be able to go ahead next year! I understand there’s bigger issues in the world than my 1 day but it is still breaking my heart 💔

UKbride Member 19 Mar 2020

Your wedding came to my mind Jenny Metcalfe - so sad for you. My nephew has planned his wedding in May and will find out tonight what they can find about it. It will happen Jenny - maybe not when you thought. Take care. Xx

UKbride Member 19 Mar 2020

25th May in Cyprus can’t do anything till 30th April see if they open up the flights. Very stressful times. We aren’t able to cancel until they cancel as we will lose money xxx

UKbride Member 19 Mar 2020

50 days and hoping it will go ahead so far nothing from the venue or the church so fingers crossed 😫🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻 my hen do is the 11th of april so fingers crossed x

UKbride Member 19 Mar 2020

28th of June. Quite concerned at this time but venue haven’t said anything about cancelling. So I’m thinking no news is good news at this point.

UKbride Member 19 Mar 2020

My wedding isn't until end of September, so I'm hoping things may be a bit better by then! It's a worrying time :( xo

UKbride Member 19 Mar 2020

We’re 25th May, wedding venue closed from yesterday to end of April. Have a feeling this closure could extend into May and force our wedding to be post poned. Fingers crossed we’re all good to go but I’m building myself up ready for it to be changed!
Heart Broken and frustrated but at the end of day ladies we still have our mans no matter what!!
The date on our personalised pjs may not be relevant anymore but I see it as we get to spend the rest our lives with each other no matter what

UKbride Member 19 Mar 2020

We was getting married 11th april everything has been cancelled but luckily we have rearranged everything for a christmas wedding instead . Im gutted that its not in 2 weeks but its for the best and was out of our control xxx

UKbride Member 19 Mar 2020

I’m getting married on 14th August and going abroad end of July! I have no idea what to do 😩😩

UKbride Member 19 Mar 2020

20th June, we've managed to move ours to 26th September. Luckily everything booked was still available that day. Still gutted we've had to delay it though but I guess we've been lucky getting it moved easily z

UKbride Member 19 Mar 2020

Getting married on 7th August so far nothing to cancel yet

UKbride Member 19 Mar 2020

We were supposed to get married on june 27th but the church had cancelled it so rearranged for october now 😥

UKbride Member 19 Mar 2020

New rules from CofE today say no more than 5 people at a church wedding :(

UKbride Member 19 Mar 2020

9 May

UKbride Member 19 Mar 2020

6th of June. We just registered notice of marriage today, however taking it a day at a time. Trying to both stay calm but most likely won’t change anything till closer to the time

UKbride Member 19 Mar 2020

I’m due to get married next Saturday 28th March and hotel saying still going ahead as planned untill government say otherwise but it will probs get cancelled at anytime xx

UKbride Member 19 Mar 2020

I was supposed to get married next Saturday 28th march. It's been cancelled 😔

UKbride Member 19 Mar 2020

09/04/2020.... three weeks today and we have had cancellations from our guests left right and centre 😭
Our venue are carrying on as normal unless government shut down! We have insurance but the policy on covid19 only covers us if the venue cancel, we or immediate family are sick or die...

UKbride Member 19 Mar 2020

Amy Hibbert

UKbride Member 19 Mar 2020

Better safe than sorry, it's disappointing but the week's will fly 🥰

UKbride Member 19 Mar 2020

18th July for us. Hotel have said they aren’t cancelling anything just yet unless the government tell them to.
I can’t do any overtime at work and my partners hours have been cut by 50% so financially having to still pay a bit to the hotel and entertainment etc don’t know if we be able to. Might have to dip in what we had left of the wedding fund to pay our rent and bills! Been planning this day for ages! So sad for everyone 💔

UKbride Member 19 Mar 2020

4th April, it's all cancelled. Can't yet face re-booking and postponing to a later date, our venue is saying 13th February 2021 at the earliest. It's horrible.

UKbride Member 19 Mar 2020

We were getting married on the 25th April, but on Monday made the utterly heart breaking decision to postpone but managed to reschedule to 17th April 2021.... silver lining is that I have another year to save, loose weight and organise a bigger and better day and then have all my family and friends attend, of which some couldn’t make it this year with flights being cancelled and some who are in the high risk category couldn’t risk so weren’t able to come. It’s such worrying times but need to be thankful for our health, family and friends and most importantly our other half who we still get to marry at the end of all this madness. Stay safe, be sensible and we will all get through this apocalyptic episode xx

UKbride Member 19 Mar 2020

James Hodgson

UKbride Member 19 Mar 2020

Mine is the 28th May in Spain. No idea what to do. Luckily the venue have said if we need to we can move the date for later in the year. However we have no idea if hotels/ airlines will go bust before we can rearrange 😢

UKbride Member 19 Mar 2020

Mine was on the 29th March. I’ve had to postpone until the 23rd August. Absolutely gutted but we had no choice

UKbride Member 19 Mar 2020

16th May! Postponed. Absolutely gutted!

UKbride Member 19 Mar 2020

Becky Mitchinson
Becky Mitchinson 19 Mar 2020

We are due to be married july 18th today was my 1st meeting with vicar and hes the churches are really encouraging people to postpone x

UKbride Member 20 Mar 2020

24th July! Visited both reception and ceremony venues yesterday and both have said things can go ahead as planned. Although considering rescheduling reception but we shall see how things go closer to the date

UKbride Member 20 Mar 2020

June wedding postponed to August... gutted

UKbride Member 20 Mar 2020

Mines booked for the 4th June 2020. At the moment the venue is postponing weddings that are in March so I’m praying it still goes ahead but there’s so much stress with the uncertainty!! 😭

UKbride Member 20 Mar 2020

We were supposed to be 18th April but have postponed untill October. So sad 💔 but best decision for us.

UKbride Member 20 Mar 2020

Hope it will be okay for you as I know all the planning that it takes xx

UKbride Member 22 Mar 2020

17th July. Waited two and half years for the venue we wanted, and the venue is booked for another two and a half years still! Hanging fire cos this current situation changes by the day, and hoping the government plans for 12 weeks works, and we can still go ahead! Sent save the dates, planned to order invites to get out the beginning of next month, now I don’t know what to do with sending them 🙄🤷‍♀️.
