They should fight to get their $$ back.
My son was supposed to get married April 18. It’s now indefinitely postponed. The wedding venue said they could apply the deposit to another date. The house I rented for a week said the same. Frontier (ugh) has ended cancellation fees and the website said I could use what I paid in airfare for a future flight. I have trip insurance in the rental car. They had planned a honeymoon in Seattle and cancelled it as things started to look bad there, before they decided to postpone the wedding.
They’re handling it well. They WILL get married, just not now. And I’m going to cry like a baby dancing to “The Wonder Of You” (Elvis) with my wonderful son.
