I'm a New York bride who had to cancel her wedding 6 days before it was supposed to happen. We've rescheduled, but the financial and emotional stress hasn't gone away.

Countless brides who would have been walking down the aisle this spring are now scrambling to reschedule their plans and salvage their savings accounts due to the coronavirus pandemic.

The couple has rescheduled their big day — and Regan says that compared to how others are suffering right now, they know their problems are small. On March 14, one week before our wedding, a manager from the catering hall where we were about to be married called and asked how we felt about postponing.

The news wasn't great. The owner of the catering hall had already started to cancel upcoming events. Some of our wedding guests started calling to say they wouldn't be able to make it. Of course I was devastated — everything was set and ready to go, we were so close — but there was a strong possibility that Freehold Township would close down entirely, food deliveries would be delayed, and guests wouldn't be able to get to the hall.

In terms of loss, we were actually in a good position. Because we were one of the first weddings to be cancelled, we had our first choice of dates to reschedule. We wanted to recoup as much as possible, so we opted for the next available Friday, which is July 17. South Gate is a big family business — the caterer's sister is his florist, his brother is a photographer — so that made the transition easier.
