In life, various unpredictable circumstances can happen before the wedding. What is the right thing to do if the wedding celebration needs to be postponed indefinitely, and everything is already ready for its holding?
It may happen that the bride or groom changes their mind about tying the knot. There are also many other reasons why the wedding will have to be postponed indefinitely. In case of illness or death of any of your relatives or friends, it is better to postpone the wedding so as not to overshadow the holiday.
Rescheduling a wedding is not easy, but doable. Even in the case when the full list of invited guests has already been fully compiled and clarified, and they have drawn up their own schedule in order to attend the wedding. And guests who live in other cities have already booked tickets, and also took a vacation or agreed on an unscheduled weekend.
Rules for transferring a wedding in the registry office
If the wedding is postponed, it is necessary to notify the registry office in which the application was written. In the future, at the time scheduled by the couple, they will be able to register the relationship of another couple in love.
An application to postpone the date of the wedding will have to be written in any case. There are several options for postponing the wedding date:
- you can postpone the day of registration for several days, but not more than a month;
- you can set another day if within a month all the cases that prevent the marriage registration are not completed;
- You can register the relationship in the hospital or at home, if there is a reason.
You can only postpone the date of the wedding by one month without paying the duty. If more time is needed, then you will have to re-apply and pay the state fee again.
General rules for postponing a wedding
The most important thing that needs to be done is to notify absolutely everyone who was invited to the wedding, because many guests have not yet had time to buy tickets, and those who have already bought them will have time to return them. Be sure to explain the reason for the transfer of the wedding.
It is also necessary to notify the administration of the banquet hall or restaurant where the wedding celebration was planned. Some restaurants deduct approximately 10% of the principal for canceling a banquet.
All people who have been hired to serve the wedding must be notified immediately. Photographers, cameramen, hairdressers, makeup artists and others will be able to change their work schedule for this date if they are notified in advance. In the event that an agreement was concluded with someone on the service of wedding events, then such issues should be discussed in advance.
