I'm sorry that you had to cancel your wedding, but glad you managed to still make a special day nonetheless. You have each other, and that's the most important thing. I'm currently 8.5 months pregnant, and though I hope that things will improve over the next few weeks, I'm feeling pretty scared about delivering my baby in this radically altered world. But I just try to remember that as long as my baby, my husband and I are healthy, we have everything to be grateful for.

Not as serious as some situations, but my university is closed as of today and I'm going to need to continue working on my degree from home, what a great first year of uni.

Congratulations! 💚 My freshman year of college/university has been cut short because the school has closed for the rest of the semester, and I won't see my friends in person until August (given the schools are open by then). It all happened so fast, it was over our spring break so we went from "see you guys in a week" to "maybe see you in 5 months" basically overnight. My girlfriend's school closed too, so we're back to being in the same city but still restricted to FaceTime due to social distancing. And with all of the closed schools and my parents working from home means my family is on top of each other all of the time trying to get things done. Very lucky that that's currently the worst of my problems, but it still sucks.

My husband was diagnosed with stage III esophageal cancer back in November. This caused us to speed up our wedding. We had our date set for March 29, 2020. On top of the tough diagnosis and all the stress and sadness we’ve experienced in the last 4 months, our wedding was canceled due to Covid-19. We decided (somewhat on a whim) to get married on Sunday, March 15. We went to a park with our immediate families only and got married. Oddly enough, it felt right. It was actually the wedding I had always seen myself having. To all the fellow couples experiencing the heartache of canceled/postponed weddings-you are not alone. Try something small and intimate; it may turn out to be everything you’ve wanted and more. Congratulations ♥️

This is a cute saying but so not true Lol. I had an awful wedding and marriage(he turned abusive). Bright side is I get to save a good wedding for a better marriage. However, unlike mine, their relationship seems strong and you can tell there is a lot of love and respect between them. As long as that’s there, it doesn’t matter what kind of wedding you have.

I love how you both have managed to keep a sense of humor and are able to laugh even though it is a tough situation. I think it's ok for you and Thomas to have been a little saddened for not being able to have your wedding, but then you both thought about it and realized cancelling was for the best for everyone. Congratulations on your marriage and your pregnancy I'm so happy for the both of you.💚😃🍾👶

I was supposed to fly to the Netherlands to visit my boyfriend the day the announcement about cutting travel from Europe was made, so I didn't go. We are now literally unable to see each other until the travel bans are lifted. We were also supposed to end 2 years of long distance by moving to Spain to work this year but now I'm 98% that will not be able to happen and we do not know how to proceed to actually be able to be together. I also lost my job and will probably lose my apartment and will not get to do the college graduation ceremony, but I am lucky because I have a wonderful family who supports me and I will be able to live with them while trying to figure out my new future plans.

It's crazy how fast things escalated! A month ago, when they cancelled the Carnival in Venice, I thought it was over-reacting. But just 2 weeks later, I was in lock-down in Rome, and living alone, I don't know when I'll have human interaction again😢. The positive thing is it has slowed us down, and I'm connecting more with family and friends around the world. I'm sorry you guys are going through so much at once. But really happy for your marriage and your wonderful blessing on the way.❤️ Congratulations again!! You will have an ever better wedding afterwards and embrace your family and friends more firmly than ever❤️❤️❤️

I’m supposed to be getting married in June, and we’re facing the time that we will need to make the decision to postpone and it is HEARTBREAKING. I just know I my heart that the situation won’t be better by the time we need to make the decision, and I just don’t know how to handle it. On the one hand, it feels selfish and stupid to be hung up by just one party, but when you’ve basically built the perfect day to celebrate it’s so hard to let go. We plan to get married anyway, much like you guys did, but it’s still so hard. I’m grateful to you for sharing your story in such a positive way, because it makes the lump in my throat a little smaller.

Just trying to say, it is the relationship which is important, not the big day 💕 Stay positive. Xx

I really appreciate that you said, “you don’t have to be religious to have gratitude.” I’m not religious and I’m trying to be grateful despite everything. As everybody is right now, I’m going thru it a little bit - currently a baby college student with a degree that is basically impossible to achieve online (vocal performance...? Where can I vocally perform??? Plus a theater minor?? Lol). All my friends and my love are currently very far away and I’m missing them very much already - I’m from a small conservative hick town where I struggle to find people to relate a lot to. World’s smallest violin, I know. I’m trying really hard to be grateful for the springtime and flowers and my health and trying to be the gladdest goddamn thing anyway 😂 Your channel has always been a healthy little drop of clarity for me, and I really appreciate your earnestness and kindness. Congratulations on your wonderful marriage and your new baby on the way, so very happy for you guys! 💚

This is such an anxiety inducing time for me and I’ve never been so grateful to be able to just listen to 2 people sitting down and chatting. Thank you both for giving people a space to vent etc. Congratulations on the wedding and the little one on the way!!! 🥰

Melanie....I’ve watched you since I was 15 years old and discovered your channel on a rainy day in July. You’ve helped me grow up and taught me a lot of life lessons along the way as a now 23 year old woman. This morning I woke up with a weight in my chest, feeling angry at the world. I watched this video and I’ve actually shed happy tears. Yet again, you’re there! I wished you and Thomas had your day. But the beauty and happiness you found when all of it was taken away shows things are never as bad as they seem and what’s important in life. On a side note, this video was so nice to see whilst in isolation. I’ve reread if only and fully functioning human over the past week. Thanks for being a comfort in this time....I’m so glad I watched this this morning and I’m starting the day with a smile on my face- Audrey x

I admit I ve had a cry about it as this is not how I imagined having my 1st baby was going to be, but I m grateful that I m able to have a baby and that we got to see them yesterday as hospitals in England might be stopping people having someone with them for antenatal appointments.

My wedding day was ruined because I had an untreated kidney infection and was in absolute agony all day. We were in the middle of nowhere in Italy, and so I could not access medical care. The only parts of the day where I wasn't in agony were the wedding ceremony, the first dance, and cutting the cake. It turns out that adrenaline really is an amazing painkiller! Like you guys, we planned every last detail and I loved wedding planning. I was absolutely devastated as you can never get that day back, and it took me years to get over it. My mam used to say though that so many folks have perfect weddings and terrible marriages, while my wedding was ruined and my marriage was great. In the end, she was right about that. Much love to you guys!

Obviously I'm glad they're doing what needs to be done to keep people safe and that we didn't end up stuck there, but it was gutting to get to two days before the trip and then have everything cancelled, especially when it was such an important trip for us x

Everybody understands how gutting it feels to have something you've anticipated for so long cancelled at the last minute, I had to come back from my Erasmus in Spain which was the most amazing experience and it feels awful to have it cut short. I think everybody downplayed the situation at first and then it only took a few days for it to sink in for everyone.

This video makes me so happy to see! My fiance and I are in a similar spot since our wedding is supposed to be next weekend on the 4th of April. We've already had to re-plan it once as our venue declared bankruptcy back in February and cancelled all weddings scheduled for this year. We had already drastically reduced the size of our wedding and planned a close family ceremony at a small bed and breakfast, but now with the virus only two family members and our officaint are able to attend. I never wanted a huge wedding but having it slowly crushed bit by bit with the first cancellation and now the virus is frustrating. Even my own parents wont attend as they're worried about the health risks. My fiance and I are trying to stay positive since we're all we need to have a beautiful wedding day. When you first announced your marriage in the midst of all this craze it made my heart so happy; you inspire me. It gives me hope that we can have a special day together and find some happiness in this crazy time

Congratulations and many happy years together! Today I watched a good friend get married via Facebook live, and it was legit one of the nicest weddings I’ve “attended.” When you strip back all the trappings of a big wedding, you see what’s left - two people in love committing to each other. And it’s beautiful. That being said, it’s ok to be disappointed about not getting the wedding you wanted. I hope your life together more than makes up for it.

I love what you said. My mother owned a bridal shop & designed wedding gowns. When we married, we had planned a huge wedding, booked everything, then decided to just make it about us. 23 years and 6 babies...never regretted that. He died suddenly at 45. I have now met many new widows, widowed due to Covid. When I hear some brides flipping out that the only thing that matters is their day, you see whose marriages won't survive because first, marriage is not about the day, but the life. They are with the man they love, seeing people lose their spouses and all they care about is whether they get a party? I know one couple where the man cancelled the marriage seeing his bride look at it that way. That wasn't the type of person he wanted to be with, not getting it and not caring about others. That wasn't the mentality he wanted in someone he raised children with...and she not only lost the party, she lost the man. You get the life, and as you said, only thing that matters. Many are losing that life together, so hold it, appreciate it and enjoy this special time. Married during a pandemic means a great story for the future kids and grandkids.

Italian follower here! First of all, I'm so happy for you. I've been following you for years and seeing you two being so happy is just beautiful, I'm so moved oh my god!! Also, I have so much respect for your decision to not have the wedding. I can't imagine the disappointment of it, but you should be super proud of having made the decision out of your own will, without even being forced to by the government. Things in Italy are really bleak right now; luckily I haven't been affected personally, but I am stuck alone in the town where I go to uni, far away from the rest of my family who live in a hardly hit region, and I'm worried about my sister, who is a doctor there. The restrictions here are pretty hard now and lately we have learnt how absolutely crucial it is to all work together and trust each others' common sense and social responsibility to try and stop the spreading of the virus. So yeah, I really respect you for making the right decision even before stuff got crazy, you should be an example for many people!

I so greatly appreciate the positivity and honesty you both shared about having to postpone such a big milestone. Myself, and many friends, have been coping with finishing up graduate school at a distance, virtually delivering our research without our big presentations, and saying goodbye to graduation and the dressings that come with it. As one of the first people in my family to get a graduate degree (or any degree) it's been tough to have to give up the celebrations after two years of hard work, discipline, and putting my life on hold. But hearing from the two of you and how you've managed to stay positive despite it all (and acknowledge that, although it COULD be worse, it's okay to be sad about what you're giving up right now).

👏🏼 congratulations! I would’ve canceled the wedding too but still married him. The most important part is the commitment & promises you’re making to each other not the wedding.

My college career was cut short by the virus- I'm a senior and the next three months were supposed to be full of sweet moments with friends, final classroom breakthroughs, loads of happy tears, and a giant graduation. Instead, all classes have moved online and campus has completely closed- which is nearly impossible for me to make use of (since I'm a theatre major and nearly all of our classes require in-person performance and feedback). Additionally, while I'm still staying in my college town, many of my friends and classmates are remaining at their childhood homes all across the country and won't come back at all, meaning that I likely won't ever see many of them again. This time has been completely heartbreaking, and it's really easy to feel guilty for feeling like I've lost something. Thank you for making this video, it helped me realize that it's okay to feel what I'm feeling, but also that life will move on and get better.

Thank you guys. I know you really didn't want to make a video right now but I've really been hoping for it through all the twitter updates, so I really do appreciate it. I also had a friend whose wedding was in two weeks here in LA. Now we're in lockdown and it's postponed. But they went ahead anyway and got married just in the nick before everything closed. Papers at the courthouse and a ceremony in the living room with families on FaceTime. They recorded it, immediately posted it on a private RU-vid, and sent the link to everyone via text a few hours later. It was hilarious and heartwarming and I just kept saying "your kids are going to see this someday". I'm so glad you went ahead and still managed to make it special and meaningful. Of course you were disappointed! Everyone is, everyone I know has lost so much in this situation. And of course those feelings are valid as well as relatable. I'm really glad you discussed your whole journey through the 7 stages of grief so other people know they aren't alone, and maybe MAYBE somebody watching this still isn't taking it seriously enough and your story has opened their eyes (we can hope). Or maybe someone else has gotten lost in negativity and your perspective is helping them see the bright side or look at their priorities. My long rambling point is that I'm grateful you made this, and I'm so sorry, and I'm so thrilled (congratulations!) and I can't wait for the baby video. 💚💚💚 PS) you both looked beautiful

I am watching this video from Italy. So yea, our situation is very bad. But I can totally understand the heartbreak you went through. You had all the right to feel panicky, scared and sad about the change in your plans! And I just want to point out how responsible, careful and mindful to all of your loved ones you were deciding to postpone the wedding celebration. You have no idea what life has in store for you. Who knows what brilliant surprises you will have in the future! And probably, your next big day will be even better than the one you planned for so long! Congratulations! And stay healthy and safe

I've read this article called "That Discomfort You’re Feeling Is Grief" on HBR and I would really recommend that to anyone who feels guilty about being upset about their plans/life/routines changing. It's totally valid and does not make you an asshole. Link: hbr.org/2020/03/that-discomfort-youre-feeling-is-grief That said, may you both be blessed with a happy and loving marriage. Rooting for you. Keep that lil babe safe hehe💕

Awe the way that Thomas looked at you when you said about being pregnant - he looked SO happy xx My mum has been really unwell for a bit over a week now, dry cough, fever, nausea. This evening she was throwing up and I just wanted to be in the bathroom with her to rub her back but I couldn't in case she coughed on me. I left uni a couple days ago to be home with my family, and though Im so grateful my mum is likely going to recover, I'm really upset about my partner. He is in the army, we've been long distance for a little over a year, and even though due to the nature of his work, he's likely going to be the last to be called up to do anything.............. it's a little worrying. I want him to have his leave in two weeks to be able to come home. Its all the uncertainty. He may get time off, but may not be able to leave the base, and what if the trains get cancelled and he can't get home. Being four hours apart isn't the worst, but it makes all this beyond unpredictable. Anyway, I am so glad you two still managed to make something really special, I wish you amazing times with your new little family xx AND HAPPY MOTHERS DAY MELANIE

This period really has a 'Waiting for Godot' type of feel to it where you're completely detached from time and space because of the quarantine but listening to other people's stories helps me cope with it; Thank you for sharing your lovely story🤗❤

Watching you two so grateful to be married brings a tear to my eye. Huge congratulations for finding light in these dark times 🌈 like you - I have really had things put into perspective. My OH and I are due to marry at the end of July. If we have to delay the big party stuff I can deal with that - but I would be devastated if we can't actually marry and we are considering bringing forward a ceremony with just witnesses. Thanks for the as always relatable video! And cant wait for baby Tomelanie! 💜

I heavily relate to how you described being able to move on quickly. I had to cancel my study abroad to Japan 3 days before I was meant to get on my flight and while I was devastated on the day of the cancellation, I quickly moved back into reality and began planning for how I was going to make up for lost time and how it would effect my graduation plans. It sucked because this was something I had been planning for almost 3 years but I did my best to find the positives in this situation and move on the best I could. while we are dealing with very different issues i found that you have articulated my feelings so well and i thank you for that. Congratulations on the pregnancy and your marriage. Love you guys and wish you the best.

Oh my dear Melanie, I always love how you have the courage to share with us about the most difficult situations you meet in your life knowing it might be controversial or you might have a judging feedback from your audience. However, I, on the other side, am becoming more and more fond of you and my heart goes to all the rollercoaster of feelings and emotions you and your partner have felt, as well as all your guests. We are all going through some tough times in one way or another and watching your video gives an amount of good emotions such as hope and excitement. After I have lived, worked and studied in London for 6 years, I have moved back to Romania on the 28th of February 2020, just before the craziness started here too. I am currently renting a flat in the capital, I have very little friends left and my family lives an hour and a half away from here. There are barely any companies who hire at the moment, but I am doing my best everyday to overcome this time, I am using this alone time to look inward, to deal with my anxiety and emotions as well as not feeding into the collective fear that has been spread out all over the world. Beginnings might not be easy at times, but I know you two will have great stories to tell your children :) Sending you my love!

I was in Iceland when this all started to ramp up and wasn’t taking it too seriously at the time. Then my roommates kicked me out, my work shut down for the time being with no pay and I had to go into self isolation with no family around. It’s been really stressful not knowing how I’m going to get money and being so alone with all my anxiety, but there are definitely things to be grateful for. I have a place to stay now, people helping me get food and my parents are going to help me financially if I need it. Plus these are probably the best times for this to happen, with technology and the amount of options for things to do from home. Your video really brighten my day to know that there is a ray of sunshine in this dark time. Congrats on the wedding and the baby!!

I'm a delivery driver suddenly being classed as a key worker and feeling responsible for so many people's well being. It's something we never signed up for and having suffered with depression and anxiety on and off for years I'm now struggling to accept being so essential and not knowing how long it will be for. Within 2 weeks it's gone from being just a bit of shopping to being almost a life line for those who are being told not to go out, and we are expected to deliver to people self isolating because they suspect they have the virus, while we are supposed to do it without contact some are still opening their doors to us and it's putting us at risk of catching it as well as those I live with. We're not at risk the way the health care workers are, but when you sign up to be a doctor or nurse or anyone in emergency services I feel like a certain level of risk is expected, it never was for us. Thank you Melanie, it's so important for all our mental health that we all process our feelings about what is happening, and support each other Ps. This is a beautiful story of your love for each other, I wish your marriage all the best and congratulations on the little one on the way 💜

This was honestly a very refreshing take on the situation and making the most of it. I was in a musical that has been cancelled, my cousin had a baby last night that I can't meet, I'm a music major in university and all of our performances and classes are cancelled or online. It's such a strange time and no one really knows what to do.

Gosh, Melanie, I am just so thrilled for your new little family. How wonderful! I am in NYC and things are wild here. My college is online now, though they don't have the resources for online schooling, so it's very dysfunctional. I'm considered an "essential worker" as I work at a cafe, but I'm filing for unemployment this week as I no longer make a living wage. It's been strange working customer service during all of this, but I feel like I'm going my bit. I am the one person some people see a day and I know it makes a difference to them. As long as I am allowed to work I will continue to work. I feel supported and loved by NYC community. We will all get through this!

We all have bigger and smaller problems and we should have the right to care for things, worry, be stressed. There’s always gonna be someone in worse health/wealth situation than mine/yours. And as long as we don’t become ignorant ourselves, no one has the right to call us out on that. And you were not alone in thinking “it’s not gonna be such a big deal” at first. But as you’ve said, you didn’t expect your guests to come no matter what. You didn’t go all resentful and egoistic. I mean c’mon, show me one person who wouldn’t care at all if a pandemic hit the world the week their wedding was supposed to happen 🤷‍♀️ I’m with you guys with all my heart 💚💚💚 Stay safe and as relaxed as possible! 🤰🏻

Watching this I'm thinking of the years I've spent watching your life unfold like having a friend I've never met chat to me through the screen and I'm struck by how pleased I am for you - a stranger, really - that you have this happiness and this much to look forward to ❤ Congratulations, Mel and Thomas ❤ In terms of the virus, I'm a secretary at a hospital, I've been self isolated for 14 days because my brother had a temperature last weekend. I'm desperate to help and not sure what helping will even look like since it's likely when I get back I'll be moved around the hospital to do whatever job is needed. You said healthcare workers are important and that's true, but when the chips are down and we're stuck at home, who do we turn to? Artists and entertainers, like you, Mel 💚 Everybody is important, if we're going to get through this well, we all need each other 💚

Life is pretty chaotic right now but sososo glad you guys still got to get married! And so excited for the news about the coming little one!! I live in NY state in the US and as of this week, our governor has ordered everyone non-essential to "work from home" in order to try and reduce the number of people that are together at once as much as possible. It is pretty strange to get used to but definitely important to try to flatten the curve and reduce the impact on our healthcare system as much as we can. I can only hope we took the necessary steps soon enough and that it will help. I know times are tough right now and it makes me sad to see all these big life plans getting canceled (like weddings, graduations, baby showers, etc) because it does suck when something you were so looking forward to is canceled. Yes, the reality is that people are getting sick and people are dying and that is terrible and no one is downplaying that, but people are also allowed to feel loss for missed events in their lives as well! Anyway, end rant haha. I'm so happy for you guys and glad you are healthy and doing well! All the best and congratulations 💚

Bless you both! You made the right decision, even though it was gut-wrenching. My husband and I experienced something similar when we got married three years ago; although we didn't have to cancel our wedding due to a supervirus, the whole reason we got engaged and married when we did was because my grandpa was really sick and we wanted him to be there. Well, he wound up being too sick to go, so my grandmother also stayed home with him. We went forth with the wedding and thankfully had them on Facetime, but it just wasn't the same. My heart goes out to you both! Praying for your health and safety at this time. Now you can nest and focus on your bundle of joy!

This video both made me happy and sad. It hit close to home because my fiance and I were supposed to get married next month. He lives in the UK and I live in the US. We weren't planning a big wedding, just getting married at city hall, but now it's unlikely that it's going to even happen and being apart is even harder during this time. This video helped bring into perspective that we're not the only ones this is happening to. I keep feeling that bit of guilt about how others have it worse as well but I've been feeling so heartbroken about it that it's made me feel doubly bad. Anyway, congratulations on your marriage and your little one on the way. Thank you for the video and for always being so down to earth

Congrats guys!! I am the child that grew up with my parents having a very similar funny story about their wedding (minus a pandemic). They had a massive wedding planned for while they were starting construction on a house on a land that my dad owned. When they went to bank to finalize the loan they were told about a way better loan for married couples, so the run to the city council and got married 2 days later and had their planned wedding 6 months later, so they have 2 wedding anniversaries and they have celebrated both equally for over 35 years! As a kid I took me a while to learn that it wasn't common for your parents to have more than one anniversary.
