Wedding Cancelled

I'm sorry this happened to you and can only imagine how you are feeling, it's totally understandable for it to feel awful as it is a grief in a way. It's a worrying time for all of us, mine isn't until later in the year so am worried myself but I feel so much for people who have summer weddings.

I dont understand why they havent even mentioned the possibility of when weddings may resume to be honest especially as they are discussing bars etc opening. I can only hope more will follow in the coming weeks

I get what you mean about people not understanding, it does feel a very lonely situation apart from on forums like these as it feels like people either dont want to discuss it to avoid upsetting us or as if it isn't a priority which to people like us who have put our heart into that one day it means so much.

Sending hugs i know it doesnt really help x

Thanks - spent most of yesterday in tears, not helped by two local households having parties in their back gardens with 20+ people...and they wonder why the infection rate isn't falling! Feel like we'll be 100 before we can get married at this rate!

So sorry , we have postponed our June wedding we had hoped we could get legally get married at the registry office on our original day as it is our anniversary weekend but we were told we couldn’t so I know how you feel . I know there may be nothing much that can make you feel better but you’re not alone I promise! And we are all here if you need a vent!! If you need to have a cry, have a cry it’s not easy and yes, I agree it’s frustrating the amount of people ignoring the rules! Xxx

Sending hugs to you too - so sorry your wedding has had to be postponed x

So sorry to hear that... makes me so mad when i see people partying and enjoying themselves.. almost seems at our expense. And then having the wedding suppliers being difficult with refunds as well. We are in a huge argument with our venue who want ignore the government advice to give us a full refund???
We are thinking about hiring these guys to get our money back. https://www.refundmywedding.co.uk/

Did you have issues getting your refund when you cancelled?

Fortunately for us, we only had a small wedding planned and our reception was at a local pub so the deposit wasn't huge. They've agreed we can put it toward a future meal there (we got married with a short, simple ceremony just after the restrictions lifted, but receptions were still banned, so we'd like to have a meal to celebrate at some point - we had 12 guests, some of whom drove 3 hours to get to us and we couldn't even offer them a glass of water, the restrictions were so strict! And everyone had to leave immediately after the ceremony, so it would be nice to a)thank them for coming and b) catch up properly!).

We've lost a bit on invites/orders of service/dress deposit, but otherwise, it hasn't been too bad for us. I do hope you manage to get your refunds.
