The wedding planning and registry resource The Knot reported that the United States had 450,000 weddings scheduled for March, April, and May of 2020.

Kristen explained: "Many of our small business partners, the wedding professionals that make weddings happen, are feeling a strain on their bottom line as couples look to postpone and reschedule their weddings for later this year or into 2021.”

And whenever it's possible - we're gonna have our original planned wedding with everyone there. Even if its in a year (or five).
