Heartbroken brides change wedding plans amid coronavirus fears

So much for “in sickness.”

There’s no love in the time of the coronavirus for couples who were forced to scrap their wedding plans to adhere to social distancing guidelines amid the pandemic.

“I sat down in a chair and cried for like 20 minutes,” bride Monica Mott tells the Post. The devastated betrothed says she called a moratorium on her April marriage plans on Friday, March 13th, when “everything started to happen here.”

Krystyna Smith, who had booked her big day over a year ago, seconded that sentiment: “My mother is still at the point where she’s like ‘Are you sure you’re gonna have to postpone?’ Like, it’s sad because I really wanted a spring wedding.”

Having to postpone the date might sound frivolous in the grand scheme of things, but Mott tells The Post she chose her date for a reason. “You pour everything into that date,” spills the flustered fiancée. “And you just engrave it on your heart, and you think your life’s gonna start after that.”

The toll isn’t merely emotional. “We planned [the wedding] around a lot of other stuff going on,” says Corinne Brent, whose plans to tie the knot on April 18th rapidly unraveled. “Our best man [the husband-to-be’s brother] is being deployed later this year, so if it happens in October, he won’t be expected to be there.”

Mary Maloney, a nurse, tells The Post that her pregnancy forced her to get married immediately at home. “I thought ‘We better just do it now,’ ” she recalls. “Because with four kids, we’re never gonna have time.”

Others haven’t been as fortunate. Brent laments, “We’re still trying to figure things out right now. With things happening with the virus, we have no idea what’s going to happen.”

Although she’s not as unlucky as this New York bride, whose dream day turned into a nightmare after her Guatemalan destination wedding was placed on lockdown over COVID-19 concerns.
