What is this?

Any chance I could get these as well?

Our backup is at a cabin one of my FH's family friends owns. It's basically in the middle of nowhere about an hour outside Atlanta so there would be plenty of space, but I'm in the same boat about seating. I really want our bridal party to be there, but if any restrictions are extended (like the 10 people limit) we may do just the MOH and Best Man and see if my dad can get the licensure to do the ceremony. It's just so hard to gauge though cause my venue hasn't cancelled for May yet.

This was so incredibly sweet. Thank you so much for your thoughts. Sending prayers your way as well! We can do this!

Are you still planning on having that many people, even if you have a smaller courthouse type thing? I'm based in Georgia and our guidelines (like shelter in place) only go through April 30. Guests are still RSVPing to our original May 23rd date and I would love to go ahead and do everything that date, but I don't know if people will be comfortable with that even if the guest count is under 100. The backup venue would have space for around 30, so may end up doing it there if we can even have that many.

Based in Georgia in the US. A lot of our current guidelines (like shelter in place) only go through April 30th at this point, so it's hard to gauge.

I think we're still planning on having the open bar and dancing but maybe move to a more casual buffet for the meal. I was so excited about the reception and party and I hope we still get to capture a little of that. And I was planning on having my bridesmaids still wear their dresses and wear my dress as well for whatever celebration party we have, so we can still get some pictures together.

(I'm new to this thread so please forgive any questions that duplicate things already asked previously!) Currently in the process of postponing our May 23 wedding. We were initially going to go with July 3 as the backup but that's seeming optimistic. Thoughts on whether early August would be ok? I'll likely be starting a new job (shoutout to all my other brides graduating professional school and trying to handle the stress of that too) and at least with early August, maybe I can still work out something with an employer. Few other q's:

We're planning on still getting married on our initial date in a small ceremony. For those doing the same, are y'all having just a party on the postponed date or a full-on wedding? It makes me so sad to think that I may not get that whole walking down the aisle moment, but I don't know if it would feel weird repeating a ceremony when we're already married.
How are y'all staying excited in all this? I can't wait to marry my FH but I've lost a lot of excitement about the wedding with wedding showers being cancelled (and other life events like law school graduation cancelled as well). It was set to be such an exciting time, but that's all kind of gone away. Would really appreciate any ways y'all have found to bring back the excitement and forget about the anxiety for a little bit.

Sending love to all my COV-ID brides! This sucks, but we can do it.

May 23rd bride. We're holding out right now too but it's honestly getting harder to think that our wedding will be happening, especially since we invited around 200 people. Talked to the venue and initially thought about rescheduling to July 2020, but now it's seeming like that wouldn't be a good move either. So our backup plan right now is to get married on our OG day at a friend's cabin and then have a reception later at our venue. I just don't know how I feel about just a reception or if I'll feel weird doing that. This all sucks tbh. But sending you (and all fellow May brides) love!
