UKbride Member 11 May 2020

UKbride Member 11 May 2020

Small weddings could go ahead by June 1st

UKbride Member 11 May 2020

UKbride Member 11 May 2020

Mines supposed to be 29th august, I just want to know.

UKbride Member 11 May 2020

Mines september.im hoping all will be good by then

UKbride Member 11 May 2020

We're due to tie the knot 18th sept! This limbo is killing me but we're holding out hope...

UKbride Member 11 May 2020

I'm in the same predicament! Our wedding should be 16th July and after last night we decided to postpone but wondering if we made the right decision now and don't know if to hold out until a later date to change? Such a hard decision to make...

UKbride Member 11 May 2020

We're meant to be getting married 1 August. Finding it difficult to plan for something that is most likely going to be postponed. But we're waiting on direction from the venue/caterers.

UKbride Member 11 May 2020

I was suppose to get married 3rd april.....we moved to 21st August thinking that in 5 months this might be over....worrying if will have to move it again 😥

UKbride Member 11 May 2020

I'm supposed to getting married on the 29th August 2020 but have just had to pencil in a date for next year just in case it can't go ahead x

UKbride Member 11 May 2020

We're the 12th September. Hoping to have a better idea soon,but meant to be having dress fitting next month, hair and make up trial july....imagine honeymoon wont happen either. Lucky we're still fit and healthy at least

UKbride Member 11 May 2020

1st Aug is our date upto now, what an earth are the gov gonna class as "Small?!

UKbride Member 11 May 2020

Our venue haven’t been very helpful in giving us the option to postpone which hasn’t been great
And my parents have to fly from Canada to attend 😕

UKbride Member 11 May 2020

We were due to get married 29 August but have decided to postpone to April next year. There will most likely be social distancing in place for many months, maybe even until the end of the year and there is just no way we can enjoy the build up. Cannot see large gatherings being allowed by August to be honest 😕

UKbride Member 11 May 2020

Venues for weddings wont be open until at least July and even then I'm sure there will be a limit to how many people can attend because of the social distancing xx

UKbride Member 11 May 2020

We were due to marry on the 28th August but we've moved it until April, we still had a couple of things to do so didn't want to be rushing at the last minute x

UKbride Member 11 May 2020

Waiting to hear about mine in July. Totally fed up and know it will have to be postponed so don’t know why we are being made to wait! We have 80 guests plus then the staff and everything else, there’s no way big weddings or any above maybe the couple and witnesses will be able to go ahead at all so I don’t know why they don’t just say this. It’s driving me mad.
It will be socially distanced weddings all summer and maybe more. I’m not willing to risk my family and friends anyway.

UKbride Member 11 May 2020

I'm in process of moving mine now, was making me so ill with worry.. waiting to hear back from registry office x

UKbride Member 11 May 2020

We are meant to be getting married the 8th august we are holding out but it is killing me

UKbride Member 11 May 2020

Please let that happen 1st of june! We were due to be married on April 11 but have had to postpone.

UKbride Member 11 May 2020

Same here for end of July !

UKbride Member 11 May 2020

Our date is 25th july but decided after last nights speech that was a complete shambles to postpone to next year. Heartbreaking to have to do and more stress added to make sure all the suppliers have availability on the same day 😭 but at least we will have our health, we may not have to wear masks etc and at least we may be able to hug and shake hands with people who want to congratulate us. Just curious though as to what the government would class as a small gathering 🤷‍♀️ x

UKbride Member 11 May 2020

We were due to get married on 27th August and we've postponed to April next year. Feel relieved that we made the decision and been lucky that everyone can do the new date!

UKbride Member 11 May 2020

We were due to get married this friday but changed to 4th September but now looks like another date is needed. Social distancing at a wedding isnt gunna happen so I know we will have to change yet again. Xx

UKbride Member 11 May 2020

Hairdressing and beauty ( make up) aren’t back till at least July and then with full PPE so weddings will be difficult all round.

UKbride Member 11 May 2020

We were 14th August we moved to next July. There was no way we were risking it. Hope you are ok, it’s an awful time x

UKbride Member 11 May 2020

We are due to get married on 18th July, still holding on to hope as it’s an outside wedding. If not we have a date for 29th August. I hate the unknown 😫

UKbride Member 11 May 2020

Our wedding was booked for the 31st July but we decided to postpone til the 30th October. I found it too stressful keep worrying whether it would still go ahead so reluctantly changed the date. It was sad but least we have something to look forward to again and hoping that by October it will be ok to go ahead. I didn't want to wait a year x

UKbride Member 11 May 2020

Our original date was 17th April which we postponed to 13th November this year. However we actually made the decision last week to move it back further to May 2021....we have a bigger wedding and I just don’t think we will be in a position to have our wedding this year. So relieved to have moved to next year....

UKbride Member 11 May 2020

Our wedding was the 30th August this year and we’ve postponed it till the 29th August 2021. We weren’t prepared to take the risk!

UKbride Member 11 May 2020

I am due to get married on the 31st July and we are waiting to hear from our hotel to see if we can postpone until next year. I really don’t want to go ahead with my wedding if I have to wear a face mask, un-invite half my guests and social distance from the ones that do attend. It’s hard to be positive at the moment with so much uncertainty.

UKbride Member 11 May 2020

We were meant to be getting married 18th July but our venue cancelled it last month. We have a backup date for 31st Oct but I honestly cant see that happening either with social distancing. I have a large guest list and do not want to uninvite anyone. I dont want a small wedding either so having just me, my fiancè and one or two witnesses is out of the question... not the kind of wedding I'd want. So we have also secured a date for March next year. Total relief!

UKbride Member 11 May 2020

Out wedding is booked for 27th August, our venue isnt being helpful and wont let us postpone until they know if they will be open or not. But even if they are open I'm guessing it's not going to be the wedding I imagined and planned, I have lost all hope and excitement, it really isnt the buildup I imagined to our wedding day. Iv been told by the venue to carry on planning as usual... how am I supposed to do this when everywhere is closed?! 🤔 seriously stressed.

UKbride Member 11 May 2020

We were 8th August and today we’ve postponed until 7th August next year 😢😢😢

UKbride Member 11 May 2020

Ours is the 27th September and we have not heard anything yet, its in Wales too and they are behind England at the moment

UKbride Member 11 May 2020

That is a shame. Nwarly 2 months ago i contacted the registrar and asked them to postpone to next year.... that was for my wedding i had booked in september.
Its a shame they wont move it for you!

UKbride Member 11 May 2020

I’m August 2nd, my wedding venue said they aren’t postponing until there meeting on Wednesday, in a way ide like it to be postponed I don’t want family members friends or even pregnant guests worried about coming or not I want people to enjoy there selves and enjoy mingling and most importantly HUG each other !

UKbride Member 11 May 2020

Our registrar, venue and suppliers have been amazing. We decided after last night to postpone on 13th August wedding until August 2021. Its heartbreaking for anyone who has their special day planned. I'm so sorry for all of us

UKbride Member 11 May 2020

Were due to get married on 22nd aug. The hotel is closed until june, we have to make a phone appointment next week to confirm all packages etc but we still dont know if we will be postponed ☹.

UKbride Member 11 May 2020

I just cancelled my August wedding for next August back to square 1 and just hope now my honeymoon in August dont go ahead 😔

UKbride Member 11 May 2020

We were meant to get married on 22 August but made the decision early to postpone until next year - saved any stress for ourselves and our guests

UKbride Member 11 May 2020

My wedding was supposed to be 22nd August the church cancelled it 6 weeks ago. Only organised a new date for next year today xxx

UKbride Member 11 May 2020

Were due to get married next week & have had to postpone to September, even now i think ill be postponing that xx

UKbride Member 11 May 2020

Feel for all your ladies with summer weddings. I’m stressed enough with our November wedding so can’t even imagine if you have July/August weddings 😢

UKbride Member 11 May 2020

Our date was 8/8/20 but we’ve moved it today to 8/8/21 😢 xx

UKbride Member 11 May 2020

We are 29th August, stuck in no mans land. No info coming from council. Have family coming from Oz. The joy and excitement has gone. I know the situation we are currently in is serious before anyone starts jumping, just wish we had some decision either way.

UKbride Member 11 May 2020

Mines rebooked for 1st sept 🙈

UKbride Member 11 May 2020

Ours was supposed to be 25th july then 31st october. After talking to our venue we have now moved it to next year 😭

UKbride Member 11 May 2020

We’ve already been postponed from 30th May to 8th August. Hoping we can go ahead - even if a registrar and two witnesses (and a social distanced photographer!) so its legal then we will have the big day with our friends next year. Not what we planned but we dont know when this virus is going to disappear so would rather do this then postpone until next year and it happen again. 🙏🏻 for august!

UKbride Member 11 May 2020

We were supposed to get married 14th August this year, postponed today to the 14th August next year I couldn’t take any risks! Even if lock down ended in July, gives us just one month for suits, hair and make up, bridesmaid dresses, alterations for the my dress! Would have been more stressful and no fun! X

UKbride Member 11 May 2020

We’re due to get married on 02 August but are thinking if postponing until 09 May 2021. Will make decision by end of week.

UKbride Member 11 May 2020

Yes, supposed to get married on 31st August...but just don’t know what to think🤔....I’m going to wait till June and see where we’re at x

UKbride Member 11 May 2020

My venue has been brilliant and said that they will change the date, the registrars aren’t answering our questions and won’t postpone, I’m so disheartened at the moment and don’t know what to do. I’d like to change the date till next year but the registrars are being a bit vague and won’t let us do anything 😭

UKbride Member 11 May 2020

I had 2 postpone mine it was meant 2be 25th april we r now hoping our october date can go ahead but its worrying times for every1. I'm thinking of u all xx

UKbride Member 11 May 2020

We were due to get married on 31st July. Our venue contacted us today and advised us to postpone. Even if they are open by then, we probably wouldn't have been able to have the same wedding we'd had planned. Our venue have been really good and offered us lots of alternative dates. They've held the one we've picked until we can confirm that suppliers are available. Problem we have is the registry office. They are contacting couples to rearrange in the order their weddings would have taken place (fair enough to try to accomodate everyone.) Trouble is they are behind and still rearranging weddings that would have taken place later this month. Was told it could be quite a while before they contact us for end of July weddings. Some of our suppliers have been really good and pencilled us in for the new date. Others have said that if someone else requests our new date they will take the booking if we haven't confirmed 🙁. I'm due to have my first baby in just over 2 weeks so could do without the added stress! 🙈

UKbride Member 11 May 2020

We're supposed to be 22nd August but live in England and wedding is in Scotland just to add extra uncertainty!! Have submitted a question to the government today fingers crossed it gets picked and we may get some sort of answer. Xx

UKbride Member 11 May 2020

We decided to postpone ours till April next year. We were meant to get married on 15th August. Think even if you are able to get married you won’t be able to have many people there due to social distancing x

UKbride Member 11 May 2020

our original date was 26th June postponed until 10th of October was postponed again last week until next year 😭

UKbride Member 11 May 2020

I’m feeling so sorry for all of you right now. Mine is the 12th dec and I’m even thinking about postponing till next December. ((Sending hugs))

UKbride Member 12 May 2020

Yep 29th August!! Keeping everything crossed 🤞x

UKbride Member 12 May 2020

I was meant to be getting married 29th August we have now moved to april. Its stressful but once you move it and get it all sorted you will feel happy again. Xx

UKbride Member 12 May 2020

Our wedding is December. Hoping all will be better and can still go ahead. Fingers crossed and positive thoughts to all going through this tough time ❤️

UKbride Member 12 May 2020

Chin up Ellie Laverty everything crossed & Hope won the day for Pandora ( if you know story). Love loads. ❤🥰🙏

UKbride Member 12 May 2020

I have postponed. Mine was 28th August. Church and venue are doubting they would be allowed to hold a mass gathering so rearranged. Xx

UKbride Member 12 May 2020

I was informed yesterday by my venue that they will now be moving all of August and have pencilled us in for next year ,I'm just waiting to hear back from our registry office 😥

UKbride Member 13 May 2020

I can't even get hold of my venue no contact since mid march getting rather nervous now too 26.09.2020 😪

UKbride Member 13 May 2020

We were due to marry this Friday & changed it to the 4th september and due to social distancing we have now changed again to 5th March. Fingers crossed all this madness will have gone away . Spent to mich time stressing and worrying so postponed again. X

UKbride Member 13 May 2020

Our dates Dec we’ve postponed I think this years a right off. Xx

UKbride Member 16 May 2020

Anyone thinking of adapting their day ? No guarantee next year & wonder if May loose some of relatives before then. A careful , socially distanced wedding later this year will be a talking point in years to come
