Why I’m Grateful We Cancelled Our Big Wedding

It was 2020 alright – do I have to explain why our wedding was cancelled!?

At the end of June 2020 we had to make the heartbreaking call to cancel our big September wedding due to the Covid-19 pandemic wreaking havoc on the world.

Though we were pretty devastated, we didn’t want to risk restrictions wrecking our plans come September, so we decided on making the call to opt for a small, intimate backyard celebration that would be okay no matter the restrictions.

So my two year engagement plan – the plan to have plenty of time to plan, organize and execute a beautiful wedding – became a two month stress ball to throw something together from scratch.

But, as I write this 3.5 months after the wedding, I can confidently say I have zero regrets on our decision.

So, we got married! And that’s worth celebrating for many, many reasons.

First off – its 2020. Yeeeep, our big wedding got cancelled. But we got married anyways!

And this post is about our beautiful wedding day!

Back in 2018 when we got engaged, we had no idea that taking a two year engagement would mean a whirlwind change of plans come 2020.

After making the call to cancel at the end of June 2020, we kicked our butts into high gear because we were determined to still get married on our original wedding date (September 12th), some way or another. We put together a cute, quaint, “backyard” wedding that was everything we needed.

Wedding Dress Shopping | What You Should Know

February 13, 2020 No Comments

With an engagement and wedding planning comes the big “say yes to the dress”!

I’ve had so many nerves leading up to the time of wedding dress shopping, and tried my best to take some advice, learn what I can about it and prepare myself.

As someone who’s not super big on shopping as it is, going out and trying on $1000+ dresses really didn’t seem like the best way to spend my time (& money).

Of course I have to find something to wear on my big day, and obviously I want it to be a more special piece than my regular fancy garb, but it all seemed pretty daunting and silly to me.

Because let’s be honest – you wear the thing for one day.

Save The Dates | Ideas & What To Include

Save The Dates

We’re at the just under a year mark until our wedding (!!!) and though we’ve told pretty much all of our guests what our date is, we are so excited to send out those official save the dates.

Giving your guests that heads up well in advance allows them to throw it in their calendar and reserve that day just for you!

Whether you want to have an elaborate gift or card sent out, or something simple online, there are so many fun ways to spread the word.

There’s just something about having the date on paper that makes it all seem so real for the first time. Because we’ve had a long engagement, this year out mark seems pretty exciting (yet a little scary).

I think we’ve finally decided on how we’re going to send out our save the dates, which you can find out about at the end of this post!

I hope these ideas give you some inspiration, as well as help you know what information to provide and what can wait for the invites.
