August wedding

My Fiance and I have had our wedding booked for 2 years now and should be getting married on the 1st August this year. Obviously with what's going on in the world at the moment I am panicking a little. Anyone else getting married in August and holding off postponing?

My sister in law (to be) had originally booked hers for May 16 2020, but had to postpone to August 2020, so I think you should be okay. Also, my colleague is getting married in August and haven't postponed theirs. X

UKbride Member 26 Mar 2020

Me! I want to leave it aslong as possible I'm the same it's been booked for 2 years and had so many problems aswell but I'm Terrified

UKbride Member 26 Mar 2020

We're to get married on the 20th, the other half is convinced it won't be happening but I'm not ready to accept that yet! I'm wondering how long to wait until making the decision to rearrange or not 🤷‍♀️

UKbride Member 26 Mar 2020

I have also had mine booked for 2 years and it's on the 8th of August. I'm holding off postponing just yet but I'm really worried it will be postponed but have my fingers and toes crossed that it won't be xx

UKbride Member 26 Mar 2020

We’re the 15th August. Currently got everything crossed 😩 Haven’t heard from the venue, photographer, florist or anyone!

UKbride Member 26 Mar 2020

I’m July and haven’t postponed mine. X

UKbride Member 26 Mar 2020

Ours is end Aug and we have held off making a decision yet x

UKbride Member 26 Mar 2020

We're the 8th of August, holding off until June and see where we are then xxx

UKbride Member 26 Mar 2020

22nd August so we are praying it goes ahead

UKbride Member 26 Mar 2020

We are booked in for 22nd ... thinking of post poning if we can x

UKbride Member 26 Mar 2020

Please leave it... your venues will be in touch nearer the time. We’ve had to postpone ours (to what date I’m unsure as I’m still waiting for the venue to call)... it was at the end of May. If all this blows over you will have the most amazing day... August is a long way away yet. Xx

UKbride Member 26 Mar 2020

I’m getting Married on 2nd August and at the moment it’s still going ahead. My venue has cancelled weddings until June or July. X

UKbride Member 26 Mar 2020

Mines in August but I'm worried about people turning up with hand sanitizer talking about nothing but coronavirus or some people struggling after losing jobs so concerned about there being a grey cloud over the day

UKbride Member 26 Mar 2020

We’re getting married the 1st August too and holding out until June to make a decision. 🙏🏻 xx

UKbride Member 26 Mar 2020

We’re 1st August too, holding off postponing until we are told by the registrar and venue to do so.
Hope we get our days x

UKbride Member 26 Mar 2020

We’re due to get married in July. We’re leaving things as they are for now and reevaluating things in end of May / beginning of June.

My church phoned me on Tuesday telling me they have to cancel. Wedding wasn’t till 22nd August. She was supposed to call me to rearrange for next year but hasn’t as of yet xx

UKbride Member 26 Mar 2020

I am due to renew my vows in September holding off for the moment x

UKbride Member 26 Mar 2020

We are booked for 12th August. Haven’t postponed anything yet.🤞 I’m not massively hopeful that it will go ahead but my main priority at the minute is that we all get through this. We are both in isolation at the minute because my OH has symptoms today. At the end of the day it’s only money and a wedding (if you’d have told me a few months ago that I would be saying that then I wouldn’t have believed you) stay safe everyone. Wishing love and happiness for all xxxx

UKbride Member 26 Mar 2020

Ours was 25th July and the Church has postponed it xx

Same situation here!!! Booked 2 years 13 days ago to be married 1st August. My locak council isn't cancelling anything past May right now and the venue is following their lead. We are also marrying outside so have been reassured we could work around any number restrictions. Right now it's a waiting game but keep thinking positive and maybe ask your venue for some reasurence or even a contingency plan xx

UKbride Member 26 Mar 2020

UKbride Member 26 Mar 2020

We are supposed to be marrying on the 23rd of August, our venue is confident the wedding will go ahead so at present although we can postpone it is at our own finacial cost! They are reviewing weddings on a month by month basis

Mine was booked for 4th April but they changed it to 11th July

UKbride Member 26 Mar 2020

I was due to get married August 1st, I’ve postponed till December 27th, if it turns out I could have got married in August then so be it, for me I’d rather take that gamble instead of rushing to find an alternative date when more are.

UKbride Member 26 Mar 2020

Will your hair be alright by then Frank lol

UKbride Member 26 Mar 2020

We were getting married in August we have now booked it for july next year.
I'm more than happy to do that just being with my husband to be during this is all I need not a marriage certificate for now.❤

UKbride Member 26 Mar 2020

I held off postponing our wedding on the 26th June, our venue postponed it though yesterday. Now hoping for the 4th September x

UKbride Member 26 Mar 2020

They are expecting the peak of this to be in 2/3 weeks now. I think you will be fine for
August. Just wait and see if they call you to reschedule. I would hold out as long as possible though

UKbride Member 26 Mar 2020

Our wedding date is 8th August and we are holding off postponing. I have heard a lot of people with April, may dates have changed their date to August so I'm very hopeful. Fingers crossed 🤞🏻x

UKbride Member 26 Mar 2020

UKbride Member 28 Mar 2020

Our wedding is 9th July.
Will be heartbroken if we have to cancel, but totally understand if we have to.

UKbride Member 28 Mar 2020

Mines on the 20th August, and I am preying things will calm down by then as we have also been planning over 2 years. For now things are still going going ahead as planned 🤞 hopefully it will all have calmed down and everyone will be so thankful and celebrate that little bit extra after such a horrible time.

UKbride Member 29 Mar 2020

So after tonights covid 19 update what does everyone think? My wedding is 29th august but im still very doubtful this will even happen 😒they think social isolation could be till june and even then they wont lift all the measures so im assuming,big gatherings like a wedding will still be off the cards for a while!xx
