I've rearranged my wedding and now getting married in August 2020. I have a few more things to book but with everything that has gone on I just don't feel the love for planning my wedding anymore. Does anyone feel the same?

? August 2021 do you not mean?

UKbride Member 26 Nov 2020

Yes! It's really hard to be motivated to do anything at the moment x

UKbride Member 26 Nov 2020

Yes I feel exactly the same as I've already had mine postponed until April the 24th and it looks like we'll be no better by then

UKbride Member 26 Nov 2020

2021?

UKbride Member 26 Nov 2020

Yes. What should be a happy time just feels so sad. I think as we get more certainty it will come back. We are also postponed to August 2021

UKbride Member 26 Nov 2020

Yep! Rearranged for September 2021 I'm really struggling with caring about it at the moment. I don't want to get myself too excited until I know that it will go ahead xx

UKbride Member 26 Nov 2020

I feel exactly the same! Ours has been moved to October 2021 and I've no motivation to do anything. It's sad because it should be an exciting time to plan and get everything booked.

UKbride Member 26 Nov 2020

Yes! Me and my partner have lost all motivation with planning ours and we were really enjoying the planning process before all this. We were meant to get married in May and moved it to May 2021, we’re just hoping things are a bit better by then! X

UKbride Member 26 Nov 2020

Yep, feel exactly the same 😞 x

UKbride Member 26 Nov 2020

Feel exactly the same way, I’m due to get married also in august 2021 and the thought of booking anything else scares me x

UKbride Member 26 Nov 2020

Yes, ours was suppose to be June 2020 now moved to June 2021 no motivation at all 🤦🏻‍♀️

UKbride Member 26 Nov 2020

I feel the same we have moved it twice now 😩

UKbride Member 26 Nov 2020

I've been exactly the same.we was supposed to get married in june but postponed until next year. I was making bits and Bob's all the time until it got postponed and now I cant get motivated again

UKbride Member 26 Nov 2020

Know exactly how you feel. Postponed from jan 21 to jan 22 and have been feeling ambivalent towards the wedding since April. But last week, I walked past a dress shop and saw a dress I fell in love with and all my excitement has come flooding back. Hopefully something small like that will be an excitement trigger for anyone feeling the same 💕

UKbride Member 26 Nov 2020

I postponed from August this year to 2022 as I just have lost the love and excitement and didn’t want to be stressing and only having a few months to plan things properly next year and just hope I get the motivation back xx

UKbride Member 26 Nov 2020

Yes I feel the same way. Was meant to be getting married in December, then moved to 2021 but lost so much interest and anxiety was through the roof so we’ve postponed to 2022 now. Feel like a weight has been lifted and I will start to plan again next year and I can get excited again x

UKbride Member 26 Nov 2020

Yep! We’ve moved twice, we’re now April 17th, tried to rearrange again as can’t see numbers lifting from end of March to 80 but venue have said as the restrictions are until March at the minute we can’t move without being penalised financially. Need to know what April will look like 😞 just hate the waiting/not knowing, not fun anymore

UKbride Member 26 Nov 2020

Yeah same here. I just can't be bothered now. Been together nearly 11 years so what's another few months 😂😂

UKbride Member 26 Nov 2020

Postponed to April 11th. Doubt if will change. Don’t want guests in masks and small numbers. The money we’ve already paid is as good as wasted. No interest in planning now

UKbride Member 26 Nov 2020

Yep totally feel the same! Not to mention the amount of products that had our original date on...is now ruined. We moved our date to August 2021, but still apprehensive as bridesmaid dresses need to ordered 14 weeks notice before the wedding...dreading having to pay out (just in case) and then unable to have enough time to order dresses in case restrictions are still in place...which means we’ll have to reduce the bridesmaids/guest lists. It’s all so disheartening...just fed up with it all, but I’m sure I’m not alone. Fingers crossed Covid19 will soon be behind us and we can move forward and hope to feel excitement for our wedding again! xx

UKbride Member 26 Nov 2020

I’m getting married March and I just can’t get excited cos I’m so worried it’s gonna be cancelled 😔 I get how you feel it’s a horrible situation

UKbride Member 26 Nov 2020

We were supposed to get married June this year, postponed to June next year and I’m can’t get excited about it either because everything is still so up in the air 😩

UKbride Member 26 Nov 2020

I'm the same.we are due to marry in june 2021.we only booked it in january then we went into lockdown in march.still got loads to buy but dont want to yet x

UKbride Member 26 Nov 2020

We get married in September 2021, we have over 90 guests booked have only our original insurance from February we paid for. I've not been able to go dress shopping yet because of all this crap. We're still sending out all our invitations because we are hopeful. Whatever happens we're not postponing we'll make do with what happens come the time and we'll just be happy to be married x

UKbride Member 26 Nov 2020

We get married in June 2021 we are waiting till the end of January to make any decisions ☹️ just hoping things change! We have been planning for 2 years x

UKbride Member 26 Nov 2020

I’m sure it’s a typo but How can you postpone to the past? 😂

UKbride Member 26 Nov 2020

Yep we was supposed to be getting married in Malta in May.....I feel the same, so much that apart from my dress I've sold everything else. It was so stressful and so much hard work I'm not sure can even think about sorting out again.

UKbride Member 26 Nov 2020

We were meant to be getting married in June, moved it to January, rearranged our plan for January due to numbers and now just keeping our fingers crossed something can go ahead and we aren’t locked down again. All joy and excitement has gone, I really just want to get the ceremony done so we don’t have to deal with the uncertainty and anxiety any longer, I don’t really care about the rest of it

UKbride Member 26 Nov 2020

Its heartbreaking keep changing dates, we have changed ours 7 times now & everything i planned has changed, its been stressful & upsetting so yes understand where you are coming from. I just want it over now I really do. The most important thing at the end of the day is you get married, who cares whats involved. Enjoy your day..x

UKbride Member 26 Nov 2020

I haven't had to postpone and still feel the same for mine in Aug 2021. I keep panicking that it still won't go ahead

UKbride Member 26 Nov 2020

Agree.

UKbride Member 26 Nov 2020

Feel exactly the same! We were 5 weeks away from our wedding when the first lockdown hit, I was so excited. We’ve postponed twice now with the new date set for May but I’m not sure that will go ahead. Just feel so deflated about it all 😢

UKbride Member 26 Nov 2020

Same. It took me two years to plan our wedding and I’ve had to move it 4 times, this time it will be in March and I’m just praying it goes ahead. I don’t understand why they won’t just let people get married, I feel awful though when people go on about Xmas and all I want is to be able to get married so don’t care if Xmas goes ahead.

UKbride Member 26 Nov 2020

While not the actual wedding, I'm feeling the same about the honeymoon. We were fortunate enough to get married in 2019, but wanted to wait to do a big honeymoon this year.... My mum (single parent) died in Jan, covid hit, we've had to cancel it 3 times and now I'm deflated about it.

So yeah, I completely understand couples feeling unable to get excited about their weddings. This whole year has sucked everyone's energy. Hopefully you all find the excitement again 💕

UKbride Member 26 Nov 2020

Yep 👍

UKbride Member 26 Nov 2020

I feel the same way. I’m
Supposed to be getting married October 2021 and neither me or my fiancé have any heart in planning anymore. We are trying to hang on until jan to make a final decision about moving the date. They way things are at the minute tho I think we are swaying towards postponing xx

UKbride Member 26 Nov 2020

Yes, I couldn't care less about the wedding now, the excitement has been snuffed out. However, I am looking forward to marrying my boy and starting the next chapter of our lives together ❤

UKbride Member 26 Nov 2020

Yes we're due to get married in June. We've got most things booked except honeymoon bridesmaid flower girl dresses and suits. I'm also wanting to lose weight before the wedding but just not motivated as not sure its going to happen. Its put such a downer on something that should be so exciting x

UKbride Member 27 Nov 2020

We moved ours from September this year to September 2021, we won't postpone again unless in total lockdown, we are marrying eachother so thats all that matters to us

UKbride Member 27 Nov 2020

Same we was supposed to be july this year postponed til July 2021 we are still going ahead regardless of numbers umless in total lockdown again by next year we will have been planning it for 4 years so don't want to wait any longer..i bought my dress 2 years ago in a sale it is a nightmare trying to make sure it will still fit 😩🤞

UKbride Member 27 Nov 2020

Yep ... rearranged for sept 2021 and feel no motivation ... in March if still weird we are gonna elope to Vegas 💙💖

UKbride Member 27 Nov 2020

I feel this so much. We've rearranged 4 times. Now hopefully it will be August 2021 but if that doesn't happen we've agreed we'll just cancel it and do something else with the money

UKbride Member 27 Nov 2020

Yes we postponed from this October to next and I just feel like it won’t happen. Hopefully as the year goes on and life returns to normal we will get out mojo back xx

UKbride Member 27 Nov 2020

We can do this guys ❤️❤️❤️

UKbride Member 29 Nov 2020

I had 6 days to go on my original date but first lockdown meant we postponed to March 2021 and I’m not exited at all and I don’t think I will be till the day of as so much can change between now and then

UKbride Member 30 Nov 2020

We haven’t to re-arrange yet but ours is in May and the closer it gets the more anxious I’m getting that it’s not going to happen. We’re getting married abroad so changing it could increase costs for our guests which makes me feel awful even though it’s not our fault. I’m not booking anything else until new year now. I totally understand how you feel. Maybe leave it a little while before you go back to planning and just try and think about your day and how you’re marrying The love of your life 😘😘😘 bloody awful though! Xx

UKbride Member 30 Nov 2020

August 2020 has been and gone

UKbride Member 30 Nov 2020

Yea definitely, we were 6 days before our wedding when lockdown came. It was after 2 weeks of hell and watching the conferences every night waiting for him to ban weddings with the insurers forcing our hand to carry on with the wedding till the lockdown inevitably came. Now re booked for March and still don’t think we have any chance of it going ahead so it’s so hard to try and plan it when you have no idea what you are even planning for.
