My buddy was scheduled to get locked down first weekend of April, and they are now pushing back to October (Aggie bye week). If you have a wedding scheduled in the next two months, I would try and get ahead of it and lock down another date. The venue had only 2 Saturdays open for the rest of the year. The are not going to let large gatherings happen in Texas probably starting in the next few days, and there is going to be a lot of people trying to get out ahead of it.

PM me the same thing Swarely asked for, and I'll try to do the same.
Also, if you're in Houston, I'm licensed and I'd be happy to help you out. Good Aggie discount of free, too. Goes for anyone else in the same situation.
PM sent - really appreciate the offer and the generosity
Supposed to attend a good sized one for 2 Ags a week from Saturday just outside Corpus. Groom's family owns the venue out in the country.

How long do you want to ignore this user?

I personally know 3 couples who have postponed their weddings. Which is great and all, but the bachelor party I'm throwing for one of the grooms in NOLA is now off, and that sucks. Hard.
Keep in mind a lot of folks likely won't want to attend (or shouldn't even think about it if immune compromised), but will feel pressure to do so because they love you so much or family obligation.

I'm not sure if it helpful, but working at a bridal salon and dealing with customers...everyone is super on edge and trying to figure out solutions and make things better and everyone is in the same boat. nobody is trying to be selfish, but this a big life event that you want to go perfectly, so please don't feel crazy for being stressed. everyone is trying to find the best solutions for you, so please be patient with us too!
Not ideal, just sharing experience. I was in a wedding when Harvey hit. They decided to do a extremely small wedding (she wore her dress and he wore a suit), no wedding party just best man and maid of honor and immediate family.
Went on their honeymoon.
They worked out with vendors to do a reception weeks later still had the reception, did pictures then, full wedding party, etc.
Just an idea, really sucks and don't feel guilty about it.

Following up: they met with the venue and rescheduled it for late June.MooreTrucker said:
My son's wedding was scheduled for 4/18. After the CDC announcement today, they plan to meet with the venue tomorrow to discuss rescheduling it. Then they'll contact the florist, etc.
Then we'll begin the fun task of contacting all the invitees to let them know.
Soon after, SA announced they are following the CDC recs and prohibiting gatherings of 50 or more.

Definitely needed to hear words like yours so yes it's really helpful. And thank you for that good bull thread you started!
Mine too. We're figuring things out as we may be re-scheduling my wedding.stxag8 said:Mine is in NOLA in May. Not looking great.Snow Monkey Ambassador said:

At the least, we'll be congregating for a fun guy's weekend in NOLA at some point in the future. It won't be the same, but it'll be damn fun nonetheless.
And to the guy above, it all sucks. Very hard.
A big reminder to all you folks getting married, some minor or major catastrophe occurs at every wedding.
when our brides come back in after the wedding, I always like to ask what the *thing* was. Then after the story, I always ask "so overall, all is said and done, how was your wedding day?" and without fail, they always answer that it was perfect.
at the end of the day, when it happens, it will be amazing and perfect and you will be starting your life with the person you love.

Ain't that the truth. There was a tropical depression on the day of my destination beach wedding in Cancun, so the beautiful outdoors wedding we envisioned turned into the indoors backup plan. At the time, it was a huge stressor. Today, it feels like a minor footnote.
Our wedding, the pianist didn't show up to our reception so we had no music (37+ years ago, LOTS different from today's weddings).
At my daughter's wedding 4 years ago, we had lots of issues. Caterer screwed up the table settings. During the reception, the emergency heater turned on in the venue IN JUNE and the guy that was supposed to be monitoring such things was in the basement and didn't notice it. We were sweating our asses off and having the best time.
So yeah, things happen and it'll still be the best day of your life...until your kids are born.

My son's wedding is supposed to be this Friday at a wedding venue outside of Waco with 250+ guests. Stressful situation for everyone involved. They will still be getting married on Friday even if it is at our house with just family and close friends!

God burned down my church a week before my wedding. Maybe y'all should listen. My Ex and I did not.
Intrigued to see how this affects ours.
It isn't until 8/29 but today we found out that our event coordinator at the hotel is no longer with them so our food tasting will be postponed. Obviously not a big deal on the food tasting part, but i feel for the coordinator who we think will be back (the email read like she was laid off, but oddly worded), but we don't really know how all that will work since i'm sure the hotel is struggling.

My sister's wedding has been postponed from early April. She got double whammied and got furloughed at work too.
Feel for all of you. Weddings are so important , expensive and stressful and having everything go sideways like this is utterly brutal. Definitely don't let anyone trivialize your very real feelings of frustration. I can't even imagine how I would have felt.
I must say though, being married and starting your life together is so much deeper than a wedding celebration. If you choose to postpone that is absolutely your choice, but consider getting married anyway, with just your families. Especially if you've already been waiting a long time.

My fiance and I have our destination wedding in Hawaii 4/16 - not sure what to do but for now we're waiting until last possible moment when we have to postpone to make a call. Just don't want to overreact and cancel/postpone when we don't have to but so many unknowns where we sit today.
But hard to know when to postpone to at this point. We waited a year to get married so she could finish med school in early March 2020 - not looking forward to another long extension; just excited to be married already!
Our last wedding shower was this weekend and we just cancelled the event. She's taking it pretty hard, not finding a lot of positivity out there to point to at this point.
Pray for us TexAgs.
You'll be fine. This will all be over but the panickers clinging to dying hope by then. Enjoy your wedding and congratulations.
Here is your first piece of free advice. Live. Live YOUR LIFE. Don't live in fear. Life is not worth living in fear.
I hope for the very best for you and your family.
I'm still getting married today. Even smaller crowd than the limited guest list we initially started with. Small meal afterwards, and no formal reception. Could've been worse I guess, but blessed enough to not need to postpone.
I'm aware of multiple people who are having a very small private ceremony instead and pushing the big celebration to the fall or next spring

Same here. I just got laid off however so we're thinking about scaling back the wedding...
Will have the reception later when this is all over. Rough couple weeks
El Hombre and others getting married...
Life is about memories and you're creating a unique story that your kids and grandkids will talk about the rest of your lives. I know it doesn't seem like it now, but weddings are a big to do about nothing. We got married outdoors by a JP against the wishes of both of our Catholic families. It was a BIG deal to them that we didn't get married in a church. We celebrated our 15th anniversary yesterday on lockdown with beers and burgers we took to go from our local neighborhood pub. Good luck to all that are getting married in these weird, trying times. I hope that in 15 years you are celebrating your anniversary with your lovely spouse and laughing about how you survived The Great CoronApocalypse of 2020!

if there is anything I can do to help, let me know. I cant do much, but I can get some discounts on preservation kits and whatnot.

I can't believe the complete change between when this thread first started and today. We have also decided to hold just an intimate ceremony with 6 present and postpone our reception. My parents are local, his aren't, but we will figure out how to stream on Zoom or whatnot. I am still going to put on my dress and fix up my hair. My brother in NYC who plays violin will record something so we can play it for my processional. This gives him a chance to still be part of the ceremony since he can't be here. I was so bummed out earlier this week but I feel really happy about our new plans today. I hope the rest of you are finding peace with your Plan B, or even your Plan C. Best wishes to you all.
congratulations girl!! you are going to be gorgeous!! post pics afterwards!!!
If you have any questions on steaming, bustling, anything with the dress, shoot me a message and I'll do anything I can from here.

Thanks so much! Probably won't even put up the bustle anymore, but I definitely appreciate all your support and kind words in the thread.
Mine is June 12 200+. Have no clue if we will be good or not. Venue said they have moved all of March and April but for now are keeping may and June as is. My bachelor party is in NOLA April 17-19. We will probably do it as long as there's not a stay at home mandate at that point. We are going fishing in barataria and had planned to go out in NOLA but just hanging out at the house in barataria will work
