Weddings intended for the Spring or Summer of 2020 are on hold…or even cancelled until further notice. With spring high school and collegiate sports ripped from the young men and women who’ve trained their entire lives for that final walk across the filed, court, and stage, and with proms, graduations, and pro sports cancelled, people are feeling cheated and robbed of some of life’s most captured moments. Few of these compare with the cancellation or postponement of a wedding.

Many brides start planning their wedding from the first time they see a wedding dress in the JC Penney Catalogue (showing my age). Brides have binders, project management software and websites to organize their BIG day. Few things require the time, energy and money than a wedding.

Sometimes brides and grooms feel like they have no choice (job relocation, military status, family member health), but to continue with a ceremony. Small, private ceremonies following all the rules may be allowed - call ahead for your marriage certificate as government office hours are drastically reduced or closed.

Brides are also racing to reschedule all their vendors six months or more out. Dresses appropriate for summer weddings will now require a stole or cape for a winter wedding.

And some are cancelling altogether until they know this will pass.

It is an emotional time, but if you take nothing away from this episode but this, please remember, the marriage is the sacred vow, the reception is for fun. Be confident in what God has brought together and the rest will work out.
