Is It Even Possible? Considering Future Wedding Opportunities Since Our Wedding Was Postponed Due to COVID-19

2020.04.29 published

I want to see the postponed wedding in a positive light!

A bride who postponed her wedding asked this question.

************************

I was supposed to hold my wedding ceremony in late April, but I decided to postpone it to autumn due to the impact of COVID-19.

I understand that postponing the ceremony is the right decision given the circumstances, but considering that I had been preparing and now the ceremony is delayed, as well as the fact that we set the ceremony date on the anniversary of when we started dating, it's tough and I have been struggling to completely switch my feelings to a positive mindset...

However, since we have decided to postpone, I think I will take it in a positive way and see it as an extended preparation period, and work hard to make the ceremony enjoyable for everyone.

So, for those who have decided to postpone their weddings, what will you do during this extended preparation period?

Things you can do because the preparation period is longer, what everyone will do

I would love to take your experiences as references.

Thank you in advance.

Normally, when inquiries come in to marry, we have brides answer through our stories, and then we compile the results into an article. However, postponing a wedding is a significant decision, and even when postponing, it brings up questions about which month would be suitable; I think everyone might not have the luxury to think positively about it at this time...

I, too, was supposed to have my wedding at the end of April, and I am one of the brides who postponed due to COVID-19. I had been going through days feeling somewhat helpless, but after receiving this DM, I started to think, "Is it possible to take this postponement positively on behalf of brides who postponed their weddings?"

At first, I thought there was nothing I could see positively about it! But after taking a breath and thinking, I realized there might be indeed things that can be done because of the postponement...

In this article, I listed "what became possible due to postponing the wedding ceremony."

I hope the feelings of brides who postponed their weddings brighten up a bit...

Things you can do because the wedding is postponed: ① Growing your hair out

One of the good points about postponing the wedding is that you can "grow your hair out." No matter how hard you try, hair won’t grow in a short time, so this is a privilege of postponement.

If you had been thinking, "I wanted that hairstyle, but it wasn't possible due to the length of my hair and would have been a bit different," you can finally achieve your ideal look.

Not needing to use wigs is definitely a plus for yourself.

With the extra time, you can properly do treatments and home care, potentially arriving at an even more ideal state for the wedding!＊

Things you can do because the wedding is postponed: ④ Some shops are holding sales

Some shops are holding limited-time sales to "support brides who postponed their weddings due to COVID." It's truly appreciated, right...!

(Even though wedding venues and shops are likely affected to some extent, it's wonderful that they are thoughtful companies to brides by holding sales.)

You might be able to buy items you wanted at a bargain, so be sure to check them out.

Things you can do because the wedding is postponed: ⑤ You might be able to wear new dresses

The possibility of "being able to wear new dresses" is quite an exciting point.

The marry dress 6th collection will start rentals around May 2020, so I was genuinely happy to hear comments like, "I will wear it since it got postponed! That will motivate me!"

Things you can do because the wedding is postponed: ⑦ Involve children in the performance

If you postpone the wedding, you may be able to involve children in the performance.

For example, a child who couldn't walk at one year old before the postponement might be able to walk as a ring bearer at two years old a year later♡

This is clearly an act of making the impossible possible due to the passage of time.

Things you can do because the wedding is postponed: ⑧ Pre-wedding photos

If you were unable to take pre-wedding photos because you didn't have time before the wedding, having the opportunity to do so is another positive aspect.

(For example, if you were planning a wedding in winter, you might have wanted to take pre-wedding photos in spring but didn’t have the timing...)

You may be able to take location photos with cherry blossoms or Christmas decorations.

Let's wear both traditional attire and dresses and decorate the wedding with memorable photos!♩

To see the postponement in a positive light.

I believe that postponing the wedding was a tough decision. Personally, I also felt sad about not being able to hold it as scheduled at first, and I felt sorry for the wedding venues that must be struggling as well, but this is now not just my own problem, but a global issue.

Rather than focusing too much on the immediate challenges, I just wish quietly, "I hope we can soon hold weddings normally."
