Coronavirus

Is anyone who is due to get married in the next 6 months postponing or cancelled their wedding due to the Coronavirus outbreak? I get married end of June and I don’t know what to do for the best.

I get married 6th June. I’m not cancelling anything myself I’m waiting for them to cancel.

UKbride Member 19 Mar 2020

I'm in the same position and don't know what to do, I'm afraid to postpone for a few months incase it goes on longer as well

UKbride Member 19 Mar 2020

Due to get married 11th September I'm gonna let them cancel if need be

UKbride Member 19 Mar 2020

Getting married at the end of June myself haven't cancelled anything yet but if I do it'll be postponing the reception
Can only hope things get better xx

UKbride Member 19 Mar 2020

2nd May! We have postponed 😢

UKbride Member 19 Mar 2020

My sister is due to get married in 5 weeks, there is so much uncertainty! Our local registration service has said if the wedding was to go ahead then it can only be the two of them and two witnesses in the room!

UKbride Member 19 Mar 2020

I'm 23rd May and still hoping will be okay but have got a postpone date organised

UKbride Member 19 Mar 2020

I'm supposed to be getting married in 52 days... in St. Lucia!! Can't see that going ahead!! 😞

UKbride Member 19 Mar 2020

12th September and I'm really hoping all this is over by then.

UKbride Member 19 Mar 2020

My wedding was on the 18th April everything has been cancelled/ postponed! We’ve set a new date for September so hoping all is ok by then xx

UKbride Member 19 Mar 2020

29th august for me and im so hoping it can go ahead! Will be waiting to see if they cancel xx

UKbride Member 19 Mar 2020

2nd May riding it out and still going ahead if we can gonna see what happens as church is still happy to do ceremony (as far as I am aware) xxx

UKbride Member 19 Mar 2020

I'm due to get married 29th August, don't want to postpone it, even if it means we quietly get married and celebrate after that date

UKbride Member 19 Mar 2020

I get married next Sunday. All is going ahead until we get told otherwise. Had this planned for 3 years so will be devastated if we have to move the date.

UKbride Member 19 Mar 2020

We had originally planned for a 23rd May wedding but had to postpone until November x

UKbride Member 19 Mar 2020

July 30th, atm I've not been told anything different, hoping it will all blow over by then!x

UKbride Member 19 Mar 2020

8th of August,haven't heard anything from the venue so until they cancel i'm going to assume our wedding will go ahead...

UKbride Member 19 Mar 2020

Im getting married 18th July... im going on as normal until someone tells me different. Im hoping by mid july itll be ok!

UKbride Member 19 Mar 2020

18 April for me, so far not heard anything to say it’s not happening

UKbride Member 19 Mar 2020

My wedding is booked for the 14th July I’m hoping it has all blown over by then but if it hasn’t I’m going to have to change all my wedding favours and everything as they would all have the wrong date on 🤦🏼‍♀️ I really don’t know what to do at the moment

UKbride Member 19 Mar 2020

Getting married 25th April. Nothing has been postponed yet and keeping my fingers crossed that it won't be. A lot of family have pulled out but we've waited so long for this. We understand because of the circumstances if we do have to reschedual we will but waiting it out for the minute x

UKbride Member 19 Mar 2020

Once summer it hits it will kill off the Corona virus for this year, you'll be fine by the end of June...xx

UKbride Member 19 Mar 2020

My son and his fiance have had to postpone they're wedding which was going to be on the 27 th of this month xx

UKbride Member 19 Mar 2020

Yup. 23 May. Anxiety has been through the roof as it must be for many brides and grooms. We are waiting one more week before making final decision. Hen party cancelled for April. Honeymoon (Italy) also cancelled. Contacted all main suppliers to check policy - they have been wonderful and helpful. I can postpone to later date within 2020 without losing any deposit. I feel sorry for many of the suppliers as they will all be badly affected. As long as my hubby to be and I stay healthy and all our family and friends stay healthy so they can be there (when it does happen), that’s the main thing. Stay healthy all xx

UKbride Member 19 Mar 2020

Speak to your venue and just know your options. We are due to marry 22nd July and are very hopeful all will be ok by then. Just know your options and go week by week. By the looks of it, it’s a 3 month process so now and April will hopefully be the worse and it will die down from there 🤞🏻 much love to all my fellow brides who’s excitement has been darkened by all of this. Our first year anniversaries are going to be a hell of a party xx

UKbride Member 19 Mar 2020

Nope 20th june and carrying on as normal!

UKbride Member 19 Mar 2020

We’re meant to be getting married 31st July, I’m in to Monday as what to do..... going to wait 4weeks then make a decision wether the postpone or not x

UKbride Member 19 Mar 2020

I’m getting married in December which is even causing me a bit of anxiety. I’d say wait till closer to the time because no one knows how long this will last

UKbride Member 19 Mar 2020

Leanne Jolley

UKbride Member 19 Mar 2020

Mine was on the 6th of April and had to cancel/postpone it due to older poorly family members and not knowing whether the venue would even e opened. Absolutely gutted to be honest.

UKbride Member 19 Mar 2020

We chose to move ours. We were due to get married in May, but have pushed it back to Sept this year.. For us there was far too much risk on having so many people together.. Our venue, registrars and suppliers have all been great and we haven't lost a penny.. And it isn't going to cost us anything more either.. We have been very lucky xxx

UKbride Member 19 Mar 2020

I'm due to marry 15th May I'm awaiting for the hotel to let me know what's happening xx😪😪

UKbride Member 19 Mar 2020

I was getting married on 6th June, i’ve cancelled the venue etc, but going to go ahead & get married at the registry office, (that’s if they don’t cancel), but just have our kids there, when we get over this we’ll think again about having a party xx

UKbride Member 19 Mar 2020

Mine is 29th August and I'm remaining positive it will still go ahead and all this will be over by then. Hope everyone's can either go ahead or be re arranged without to much stress xx

UKbride Member 19 Mar 2020

Mine is 15th April and has been postponed until November. We're not putting family and friends at risk, it's not worth it x

UKbride Member 19 Mar 2020

20th April... being forced to go ahead unless the government make us do otherwise. Have asked venue to hold another date in September for us!!

UKbride Member 19 Mar 2020

30 July venue still going ahead but waiting to hear from church 😐

UKbride Member 19 Mar 2020

I'm playing it day by day! I'm meant to be getting married 30th may and not postponing until I need to. My hen weekend has already been cancelled and as were doing it in our garden it depends on what the suppliers do. Fortunately as we are having it at home we can move it if needs be

UKbride Member 19 Mar 2020

End of June for me - everything is still going ahead at present

UKbride Member 19 Mar 2020

11 days to go! so far everything still going ahead as planned🤞

UKbride Member 19 Mar 2020

Im getting marrried in August untill we hear otherwise from the venue we are still.going ahead.

UKbride Member 19 Mar 2020

We are due to get married the 16th may but we had to reschedule our wedding unfortunately yesterday it now won't be happening till next year xx

UKbride Member 19 Mar 2020

Our local registery office have cancelled wedding till end of june. Not sure if that is just hotel venue wedding or all. I am in London so could be different for other areas

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

I get married in june and wedding planner said everything is going ahead x

UKbride Member 19 Mar 2020

I was supposed to get married on 2nd May but have postponed until November. All of our suppliers have been amazing x

UKbride Member 19 Mar 2020

Yup. Due to her married 28th May. Postponed until November. And then I'm not counting my chickens

UKbride Member 19 Mar 2020

Until they are cancelling we are still going ahead for April 25th. Hoping things have calmed down a bit. But also because if we cancel we may not get the money back. Plus it's a day we have been planning for over a year so we want it to go ahead. If that means fewer guest due to fear of going out, then we will respect that.

UKbride Member 19 Mar 2020

We were due to get married on the 2nd May 2020. Everything was planned, sorted and practically paid off. We came to the decision to postpone a year and honestly can say it’s the best decision we made. No more getting upset or stressed everyday and we know that we’ll be having the best ever wedding next year when everything has got better. Fingers crossed for whatever you decide to do xx

UKbride Member 19 Mar 2020

I’m due to get married 27th June. We’re having an outdoor wedding so all the suppliers are external.. praying that it will still go ahead as rearranging it will be a nightmare to try and get a tipi company, 2 food vans, live artists, the venue, florist, photographer and the bloody registrar on the same day again will be an absolute nightmare :( wish everyone the best of luck who’s in this awful situation!

UKbride Member 19 Mar 2020

I'm supposed to get married on the 4th of June in Mexico 😬 not sure if it's going ahead although I have heard nothing off the hotel to say otherwise. If this gets cancelled this will be my second wedding cancelled within a year 😂

UKbride Member 19 Mar 2020

I am due to get married 28th May !!! For me I think it’s just too early still to assess I called the register today she said it’s still business as normal and I haven’t herd from my venue 😬

UKbride Member 19 Mar 2020

I’m a Wedding photographer. Every wedding I know of, over the next 4 month has postponed.

UKbride Member 19 Mar 2020

i get married 2nd may and i spoke to my registrar yesterday and venue and all is ok atm..x

UKbride Member 19 Mar 2020

I’m waiting to see we’re getting married July 31st xx

UKbride Member 19 Mar 2020

My hubby is a dj and had a wedding cancel at the end of the month the, room canceled I think due to mass gathering x

UKbride Member 19 Mar 2020

I’m getting married in 3 weeks and just hoping that it goes ahead. I’ve got a back up plan with the venue if it physically can’t happen. Just got to hope for the best xx

UKbride Member 19 Mar 2020

Getting married on 26th June, haven’t cancelled/postponed. Will see what happens nearer the time.

UKbride Member 19 Mar 2020

I’m due to get married May 1st and I have no idea what to do 😩😩😩

UKbride Member 19 Mar 2020

Mine 18/07. Next deposit due mid may so waiting until then to decide. I’m also flying to Wales from Denmark (where I currently live), so hoping there travel restrictions are lifted! Such a worrying time! ❤️❤️

UKbride Member 19 Mar 2020

I am a wedding photographer and I think the key here is to take a deep breath and if you can’t go ahead this year then rearrange for next year. Pause, Postpone, but Don’t Cancel is the mantra at the moment. I am doing everything I can to accommodate rescheduled dates at no extra cost, and I think most suppliers will do the same. Good luck with your decision.

UKbride Member 19 Mar 2020

I was due to go a wedding in may it's postponed until Feb next year

UKbride Member 19 Mar 2020

I’m October 10th. It has to be all over by then right?! ☹️

UKbride Member 19 Mar 2020

I would urge anyone on the edge to postpone .

I know it’s devastating and many people have taken years to prepare but this isn’t any normal situation .
If your wedding is London it may be enforced by the end of this week anyway .

I know this has major impact but as a health care professional who has friends and family who are dealing with this now -this is about preventing spread and sadly gatherings such as weddings come under that . I know it maybe easy for me to say having had my wedding in jan but my friend may have to cancel hers in April and has no wedding insurance .
It’s not for me to tell you what to do but I assure you this is not over kill . The nhs does not have enough intensive care /ventilation to support everyone who may need it . This message isn’t meant to induce panic or make everyone feel depressed it’s just this is a public health emergency . Many of you are right that the government have not enforced it but most other countries have and those that got it under control early, social distancing was a major part of that .
I’m just hoping this message can convince those thinking about postponing to, as it genuinely could prevent harm .
Please all take care .

UKbride Member 19 Mar 2020

All the lovely brides who are stressing just remember it’s one day in your amazing long life together...... if it’s cancelled or your asked to only bring a couple of ppl with you, just remember you wanted a marriage not a party all the other stuff can wait spend time with your husband to be play games and talk about how and where you fell in love...... this virus can stop gathering s but it can’t stop love

UKbride Member 19 Mar 2020

Ours is end of August and unless I’m told it’s a no go then I’m not allowing this to stop us, we have about 150 guests so if we have to shave that to 100 then so be it. A lot of our guests are over 60 years old too.
We are a family of army veterans so there is no way these lads and wives etc will allow anything other than a law that’s passed to even stop them from coming. These lads have hankered down through Malaysia, Germany and Ireland as well as Cyprus and many more and battled it out in -35 degrees in a broken down tank with no heat or hot supplies....this virus will have to bring its shit if it thinks it’s going to stop us!! Us regimental people are made of strong stuff! 🤣😂 we won’t go down without a fight! 😜👍🏻

We won’t put anyone at risk so if people can’t come then we understand. There are lots of companies that do live private streaming so your guests can watch your special day if they can’t be there in person. 👍🏻

UKbride Member 19 Mar 2020

Mines on 30th May and genuinely don't know what to do 😕 everything is still OK for now but unsure if I need to get a second date back up plan just in case? What's people's opinion?

UKbride Member 19 Mar 2020

I'm waiting to see what happens and what hotel says xx

UKbride Member 19 Mar 2020

We are having a destination wedding 27 June, I am worried but trying not to be, waiting to see what happens as we havent been given any advise from the airline or venues as of yet.

UKbride Member 19 Mar 2020

We’ve postponed we get married in July due to this and another situation in the family we are thinking of just doing registar office then have a big party

UKbride Member 19 Mar 2020

Mine is the 11th of July I praying it still goes ahead xx

UKbride Member 19 Mar 2020

Our venue has already given us back up dates for September. We’re due to be married and of May, trying to hold out as much as possible to make the final decision.
Just contact all suppliers etc, ours have been fantastic & all have our back up date confirmed with them so we don’t have to worry too much!

UKbride Member 19 Mar 2020

I was supposed to get married on the 18th April and now it’s moved to the 15th August, gutted but wasn’t taking the chance

UKbride Member 19 Mar 2020

I'm supose to be getting married in May in Mexico!

UKbride Member 19 Mar 2020

UKbride Member 19 Mar 2020

UKbride Member 19 Mar 2020

North Yorkshire registrar is going ahead with all weddings as normal until the government specifically says they can’t

UKbride Member 19 Mar 2020

I was getting married 5th June and changed this morning till 25th September x

UKbride Member 19 Mar 2020

Mine is supposed to be next week. Just waiting to hear official advice on what to do. Problem is if we decide to move it now, we will lose a lot of money #badtimenottohaveweddinginsurance

UKbride Member 19 Mar 2020

I was getting married on the 20/06/2020 but I was not about to take the chance the whole thing being stopped last minute, I would rather have control over moving my date and if you wait too long you might not have pick of the dates next year xx

UKbride Member 19 Mar 2020

I was supposed to be getting married 4th April 2020 but have had no choice but to postpone

UKbride Member 19 Mar 2020

I get married in the 1st of August this year and I’m still going ahead no matter what, if the registra can’t make it we’re get someone else to do it and sign papers another day. If an important family member can’t make it we will postpone it to another date x

UKbride Member 19 Mar 2020

We are getting married on May 1st 2020. We haven't canceled or moved the date as of yet. We are going to carry on as if its happening, unless we are told otherwise by the venue or registrar. Just relax and only change it if u really want to or until told u need to by a supplier. Everything will b fine. X

UKbride Member 19 Mar 2020

Lyndsey Murphy

UKbride Member 19 Mar 2020

We’re due to get married in Italy on 27th July. We are in limbo at the moment as we don’t know if it will definitely be cancelled. We can’t cancel anything right now as we’ll lose our money and we’ve not been offered the chance to move the date for free yet. We just have to wait for the next update on travelling. We are almost certain it won’t go ahead but we’ll face this when we get updated.

UKbride Member 19 Mar 2020

Mine was 6th of june 2020. Our vicar phoned and we've now had to postpone to june 2021 😔

UKbride Member 19 Mar 2020

Getting married the 13th of June, phoned the registry office and the place we are having our reception they seem positive but who knows, haven't postponed anything as of yet just going to wait and see what happens nearer the time. Main thing is we won't lose any money which is a godsend x

We're due to marry August 8th 2020, church of wales has stopped all wedding services until July 31st, but haven't postponed yet, just keeping hopeful and taking a day at a time xxx

UKbride Member 19 Mar 2020

My brother and his wife to be who were due to get married on Saturday have had to cancel their wedding, it's heartbreaking

UKbride Member 19 Mar 2020

Was due to get married in Caribbean in April. My fiancé's leave has been cancelled and so had to cancel the wedding. Devastated ☹️

UKbride Member 19 Mar 2020

We get married on the 11th September and are just hoping it will all be better by then. My brother is getting married on the 29th may and hes thinking about postponing his though

UKbride Member 19 Mar 2020

Our venue have cancelled all weddings until June 30th- we are getting married in August so hoping things will be more settled by then

UKbride Member 19 Mar 2020

We're waiting for the hotels response we get married in May 😟

UKbride Member 19 Mar 2020

I was due to marry on the 25th April but the venue have cancelled it because of the new restrictions.
Because they cancelled the date we won’t lose any money but we’ve decided to postpone to next year as the September dates we thought were still too risky.
All the suppliers have been very understanding and only the minister isn’t free on our date next year.
Just in limbo for a year as everything was sorted.

UKbride Member 19 Mar 2020

20 of July still going to happen. Notice of marriage on 25.03 and that's still on. So B2B is still on. Even if have to be just my fiance and me xxx

UKbride Member 19 Mar 2020

My wedding is 28th March and I’m so worried!! At the moment we are going ahead but I don’t think a lot of my guests will come 😓 my venue and suppliers have been amazing and so supportive 💕

UKbride Member 19 Mar 2020

I’m getting married 18th July.. I’ve not heard from my suppliers or venue as of yet.. I am still remaining positive it will still go ahead.. only time will tell.

UKbride Member 19 Mar 2020

Getting married 13th June... No postponing yet am just keeping my fingerscrossed it might look better by then but really will monitor for the next month and if not ask the venue if we can push out

UKbride Member 19 Mar 2020

UKbride Member 19 Mar 2020

UKbride Member 19 Mar 2020

We are 18 September abroad in Cyprus I'm praying it all sorted by then 😭😭

UKbride Member 19 Mar 2020

I get married on 1st August and we’ve just been and spoke to our wedding venue. They told us not to cancel or anything as it’s still a while out yet xx

UKbride Member 19 Mar 2020

A friends wedding has been cancelled in May x

UKbride Member 19 Mar 2020

Due to get married 28th March and had to make the tough decision to postpone. We couldn't get married without key members of the family who end up in the at risk group. We looked into having the ceremony only and having the reception later but decided to postpone the whole thing. All of our suppliers have been fantastic and offered postponement with no charge.

UKbride Member 19 Mar 2020

Due to get married on 5th May. Very small amount of people 9 in total. Then celebrating at a later date. Fingers crossed we can still get married then!!

UKbride Member 19 Mar 2020

We're postponing, we were due to get married 9th of May, my family is from The Netherlands and are unable to come over now

UKbride Member 19 Mar 2020

Kirsty Hallett

UKbride Member 19 Mar 2020

I'm getting married on 25th July and doing on as normal until I am told otherwise although I am preparing myself for the worst. Im pretty sure my hen party with be off in May, but still playing it all day by day. X

UKbride Member 19 Mar 2020

Yeah I'm due to get married 9th of may all going ahead so far not canceling unless I'm told to x

UKbride Member 19 Mar 2020

2nd May.... Spoke to my venue and so far its still going ahead. Will see how these next few weeks go, but we're not postponing/cancelling anything until we're told otherwise! Hen and stag dos both cancelled for the next two weekends which we're obviously disappointed about but we can do them again. It's all very worrying but just trying to stay positive, we'll still get married, just might be a bit different to how we planned it 🤷‍♀️

UKbride Member 19 Mar 2020

U don’t know what to do we get married 13th June

UKbride Member 19 Mar 2020

Avril Mullin I’m not sure if this is any help at all but lots of people saying what they’re doing about their May weddings on this thread. Thinking of you and only a message away x

UKbride Member 19 Mar 2020

I don't understand the utter panic people are creating. I'm getting married 22nd may. We will make a decision 4 weeks prior. Be reasonable, be realistic and dont panic! It's not helping matters at all. You won't lose it, you can postpone it. It's not the end of the world! Am I really the only bride applying common sense here? !

UKbride Member 19 Mar 2020

I get married in October and really hoping everything has died down by then. I’m trying to not let it stress me out but it’s easier said than done.

UKbride Member 19 Mar 2020

I get married 2 weeks on Saturday, we have postponed everything bar the ceremony, however we have made the numbers smaller, and if needs be will will still try and to the legal bit with 2 witnesses. It's not what we planned, but we will do everything we had planned in October. Our photographer has just said try not to cancel, work with your venue and vendors etc.

UKbride Member 19 Mar 2020

My wedding is the end of August, what would people recommend I'd be heartbroken if I have to as the date I have means alot to me xx

UKbride Member 19 Mar 2020

Due to get married on 3rd June. So far our venue and suppliers r doing everything they can to continue with different contingencies in place but so far we haven't postponed or moved our date. We have been advised we can move our date where availability is to a different date this yr but we're waiting until beginning of May before we decide n will have to live with the stress n uncertainty until then. Too much wrk has gone into planning this wedding tht we may not get all of our suppliers again on the same date or holiday off wrk. It's not the end of the world if it has to move but heartbreaking all the same

UKbride Member 19 Mar 2020

I'm due to get married saturday and unfortunately it was a very stress yesterday, but the venue and all the suppliers have been amazing and moved to a new date. Thank God for wedding insurance as we need to claim for the flowers. We held on as long as we could but there comes a point. I hope everything works out for everyone on here.

UKbride Member 19 Mar 2020

Was due to get married on 11th April in Las Vegas with a reception on 25th April back at home. Having to postpone everything and there's too much uncertainty to even consider a new date

UKbride Member 19 Mar 2020

Our wedding is booked for November 28th, I’m grateful I’ve got wedding insurance as the company isn’t taking on any new policies, and I am hoping by then this would have all calmed down and that we’ll probably all need a good knees up!

UKbride Member 19 Mar 2020

13th June for us. Venue won’t allow us to postpone currently, and if we cancel we lose all our money. The venue will only cancel if legally required to, but if that’s why they can’t hold the wedding they won’t refund and the insurance won’t pay out (as its due to a government act) The uncertainty is a nightmare 🤦‍♀️

UKbride Member 19 Mar 2020

We were due to get married 3 weeks -just at the registry office with 2 witnesses and thrn we were due to celebrate in July. Got the call today all weddings been cancelled until end of April and a review will happen then.

UKbride Member 19 Mar 2020

Ours is in November and I’m thinking postponing ,I just don’t know .

UKbride Member 19 Mar 2020

Im due to get married on july but thinking of postponing incase this hasnt blown over and i dont get refund

UKbride Member 19 Mar 2020

Meant to be getting married 6th April. We're just confirming postponing till October as we don't want to risk our families healthy. Most people are just shifting our bookings which is very kind of them as I've also lost a lot of work due to everything so couldn't afford to loose all our deposits. I'm absolutely devastated 😭

UKbride Member 19 Mar 2020

Due to get married June 20th and we have postponed until Autumn, we are confirming an official date this weekend... but we do not want to put any loved ones at risk just for the sake of a celebration 😪 it’s absolutely devastating but our loved ones health is more important 😔

UKbride Member 19 Mar 2020

I'm supposed to be getting married on the 24th April 😩 I just want to be married to him don't care how small it is so hopefully they will let us 💔

UKbride Member 19 Mar 2020

We got the call from the church on Monday. Cancelled until further notice. We were due to marry on the 11th of April. Everything paid for and ready to go. It’s devastating but this has never happened in people’s living memory. You have to deal with the disappointment until things settle. But really, it’s turd. 😢

UKbride Member 19 Mar 2020

We are due to get married 28th May. We are trying to hold out as much as possible as stressful as it is. The date is special to us and sadly doesn't work next year for us and our guests as its not during the school holidays 😥

UKbride Member 19 Mar 2020

We are getting married 19th July 2020 and we are currently going ahead as normal. No family have to travel from afar. We will only cancel if our venue has to close or if our church is locked up x

UKbride Member 19 Mar 2020

I wouldn’t be cancelling. Guests can make their own mind up if they want to come or not 🙂

UKbride Member 19 Mar 2020

We get married on 22nd august and are not sure what will happen. We are getting married in the hotel venue that we have booked for our reception and evening party. If we have to cancel we will work something out. As long as we marry then ill be happy. Xx

UKbride Member 19 Mar 2020

Can I just say a big thank-you for this post!! I feel like I’m driving myself nuts as it’s all I’m thinking about and reading through the responses of all the brides has made me feel much better!! Our date is the 29th May, our venue have said they have yet to cancel anything and have no immediate plans to but will let us know and like many others, it’s too soon to make a decision to postpone. As quickly as it escalated, we could be coming out the other side of it by then. Sending lots of love to all couples in the same boat xx

Due to get married 25th April. Now cancelled it but don't know when we will be doing it x

UKbride Member 19 Mar 2020

Our wedding is 20th August, I’m hoping it’s all over by then... but still worried if it’s not, I don’t want to postpone I’ve waited long enough.

I’m worried if any guests will actually turn up.

I’m worried about our beautiful honeymoon to Gran Canaria.

UKbride Member 19 Mar 2020

I am getting married at end of June too. We don’t want to postpone but at the minute until the end of April the registry office aren’t doing any weddings. I’m really hoping it’s sorted by the end of June. Not sure if our restaurant will cancel on us. Then we are having a party that night. Again not sure if it will get cancelled on us. We are going on honeymoon on the 2nd of July which was booked over a year ago. To be honest if it was just me and hubby to be in the registry office I would go ahead. X

Church of England weddings now limited to 5 people attending

UKbride Member 19 Mar 2020

I was supposed to get married in Germany in may. We had to cancel everything.

UKbride Member 19 Mar 2020

we’re due to get married 21st August, but depending on situation and if my fiances mum and step dad can get over from Cyprus, we may have to postpone ☹️

UKbride Member 19 Mar 2020

Due to get married in July. Its so stressful as our venue has told us their not sure what's happening. We've people in insolation etc. Can see it being postponed but trying to get a date that suits everyone is even more stress

UKbride Member 19 Mar 2020

Ours is may 16th, registrar wanted their final payment and our ceremony venue is small and only available with lots of notice. Our evening venue is a private members club and they have very stringent measures in place, then visiting friends and family are staying in lodges on a holiday park who also may cancel......lots of cogs and just one needs to fall to create chaos. I e gig everything crossed it's still going to happen. Hen weekend still going ahead end of april but it's in a private house.....

UKbride Member 19 Mar 2020

Church of England have made an nousment today they are only letting five people into church for a wedding.

UKbride Member 19 Mar 2020

Due to get married May 16th, our venue called today to say they have to postpone. Absolutely guttted.

We are due to be guests at a wedding on Good Friday, it's been postponed now until August Bank Holiday

UKbride Member 19 Mar 2020

We were due to get married on the 23rd May and have postponed until next year, all our suppliers and venues have been amazing and are letting us use the deposits we paid for next year :)

UKbride Member 19 Mar 2020

We are supposed to get married mid June, already moved from last year for fiance to have aggressive chemotherapy last year!!!! Gutted to say the least!!!!

UKbride Member 19 Mar 2020

My wedding was June 6th and we have postponed it. Xx

UKbride Member 19 Mar 2020

My wedding is the end of May and I’m having the same dilemma. Some of our family may not be able to come including the grooms sister who lives in Australia. We’re looking at postponing and currently looking at our options x

UKbride Member 19 Mar 2020

I’m due to get married in May but will be postponing. Xo

UKbride Member 19 Mar 2020

Due to get married on 20th June, don't want to postpone but looks as if the registry office will only allow us 2 witnesses and 2 guests...not what we want. Will most likely reschedule 😕

UKbride Member 19 Mar 2020

We were due to get married on 4th April. We have postponed until the end of the year now, too many guests that wouldn’t be able to come and got the risk of going into lockdown or something closer to the time! Heartbroken xx

We are due to get married july 18th and its definitely looking like we may have to postpone x thoughts go out to all us brides to be at this awful time x

UKbride Member 19 Mar 2020

We are due 30th May, we’ve been told by the venue and registrar don’t do anything just yet, ride things out and see how things go. It’s a fluid situation which is changing daily! You never know I’m trying to say positive x

UKbride Member 19 Mar 2020

What a nightmare so sorry for you - this should be a time of happiness and friends

UKbride Member 20 Mar 2020

11th July...I'm not cancelling or postponing...I'm waiting to see what happens nearer time just not paying balances yet xxx

UKbride Member 20 Mar 2020

I am due to get married on 3rd July in Cyprus. We have already had to re book all of the holiday side of things when Thomas Cook went under. I’m gutted. We don’t know if flights/resorts will be back to normal then and if UK visitors will be able to enter Cyprus without a 14 day quarantine period. I can’t change anything as the airlines aren’t allowing changes for June departures yet. Part of me is thinking postpone it for a year but we can’t without losing our flight money and the other part of me is clinging onto the hope it will still happen. We have a Uk reception booked too xx

UKbride Member 20 Mar 2020

End of July for us - clinging to the hope it is far enough away for everything to have settled. It will happen, one way or another

UKbride Member 20 Mar 2020

Im due to get married 3rd april......we've just postponed till 21st August....hopefully that far enough in the future

UKbride Member 20 Mar 2020

My wedding is meant to be 25th april and we have sde the horrible and painful decision to postpone 😭

UKbride Member 20 Mar 2020

I get married today and we are still going ahead with it the only thing we are not doing is hugging and shaking hands it's hard to do as it's meant to be a happiest day of our lives,, so I would say not to cancel as you don't know when you will get the chance to do it,, but good luck to you all in your choices xx

UKbride Member 20 Mar 2020

I get married 27th June . Then flying to the Maldives 29th . Not heard anything from the venue as it’s closed . I’m praying that it’ll all be over by then . So upsetting for everyone . It takes so much time to plan and save for a wedding . This is supposed to be a happy time . I can’t even watch the news now .

UKbride Member 20 Mar 2020

We have postponed ours (25th April) as our church has closed and we didn’t want to put elderly family members at risk.

UKbride Member 20 Mar 2020

I’m due to get married May 23rd, our venue are saying they aren’t allowing couples to postpone and it’s “business as usual” even though most of my close family can’t come. Has anyone else had this?!

UKbride Member 20 Mar 2020

Our date is 5th June. Not postponing anything until the venue tell us to xx

UKbride Member 20 Mar 2020

End of September.....still going ahead for the moment

I am due to get married on 20th June. The uncertainty is the most awful thing. Luckily everything and everyone is UK based. We are holding out for now in the hopes it can still go ahead being 13 weeks away (just missing the 12 weeks isolation period for vulnerable groups). If things still look bad end of April we will look to re-arrange for October time x
