For some reason, I find myself imagining the COVID-19 virus as a WWE wrestler “coming to take your wedding OUT!”

It was a snowball effect. It started as a few out-of-town guests unable to travel then blossomed into local guests canceling and then the venue canceling the event…

Now we find our wedding unconscious on the ring floor while COVID-19 stands on top of it’s lifeless body riling the crowd up. What’s next?

Well like many WWE matches, the underdog eventually wins, so let’s pick up the pieces and see this to the end.

I can tell you that ALL of your wedding vendors want to continue being a part of your wedding, even if it’s on a different day, or (aside from your venue) at a different location.

Step 1: Pick a new date (hopefully one the venue has available). If there is a vendor you REALLY want at your wedding (like a wedding photographer) ask them if they’re available on the date you’re looking at. I’m concerned for the snowball effect this will have on 2021 wedding dates. Make sure to re-schedule as soon as you can.

Step 2: Inform your vendors of your new date/location. If you have a wedding coordinator, let them know and they should be able to get the info out to all of the other vendors.

Step 3: If some of your vendors are unavailable on your wedding date, ask who they recommend. On the plus side, you aren’t starting from scratch. You’ve already done most of the hard work.

Step 4: Get married!

Regardless of the outcome, this will be a story for you to tell your grandchildren.
