People around the world have been having to cancel parties, vacations, graduations, and so much more. But for brides and grooms who were planning a wedding during this time of shelter-in-place orders, their special day may need to change. That’s something that Days of our Lives star Kate Mansi can relate to — and she has advice that just might help see you through it.
Kate Mansi Shares Her Experience
The actress, who made her debut as Abigail Deveraux DiMera back in 2011, was expecting to marry Blake Levin this past weekend. But her plans changed and she now realizes it allowed her to make for an even better situation. She shared her feelings in a post on Instagram, with the hope that she may help others who are now scrambling.
“3.29.20 – for a long time this date was supposed to look very different for us. Quickly after we got engaged this year, we planned our dream snowy wedding in Banff, Canada. It was shocking how easily & quickly everything all came together- I kept saying it was the most bizarre wedding planning experience bc it felt like all green lights for our Canada wedding!” she wrote.
“I have several wedding items & thank you gifts for family with this date monogrammed on them. HOWEVER… Mid-planning, we had to pivot due to some unforeseen issues with immigration for some key members of our wedding party. At the time I was devastated & couldn’t imagine another scenario for our special day.
“Yet, here we are today with immense gratitude that we had to pivot earlier in the year & are not among the countless couples shifting their wedding plans now due to COVID. My heart aches for you brides. But if it’s any consolation, pivoting was the best thing that happened to our wedding plan,” she wrote, proving her ability to make lemonade out of lemons.
“We are now standing where we’ll be married this summer (🤞🏻), with a new plan that was beyond our wildest dreams thanks to @clothandflameweddings. It might not be our snowy wedding day today, but it’s a very loving day nonetheless. Hang in there brides !” Soap Hub wishes the bride-to-be all the luck in the world with her summer wedding plans.
