Hello it’s been a while since I’ve posted in this forum . I just wanted to connect with brides who were in their 30s who are engaged and planning to wait till they finish their undergrad. I was on track with my classes this last spring of 2020 until COVID-19 happened and I found out in February after Valentine’s Day this year in 2020 that I had stage 2 breast cancer invasive ductal carcinoma in that I had to medically withdraw from my university to focus on having breast cancer surgery and mastectomy, four months of chemo, and now I’m going through radiation and then starting hormone therapy for 10 years . Finally with my main cancer treatments are coming to close and I am waiting to be readmitted to my college to continue with my undergrad and retake classes and try to pass my praxis teachers core exam this fall are there any brides who are in their 30s planning their weddings after finishing their undergrad older college students? My fiancé gave me this past Sunday the green light to contact our wedding planner to set up a meeting with him to start wedding planning next summer of 2021 after my first semester back to college. When he said that my heart was happy I felt for sure he would have given up to marry me after a few times we tried to plan our wedding and something always stopped it but finally things are turning around for us. I am just waiting for my planner to get back to me and I am worried when we get married in sept of 2023 that when I go wedding dress shopping I won’t look or feel beautiful in the wedding dresses since I had a mastectomy at 29 . Finding out I had breast cancer at 29 years old was so hard.

    Hi! I have no idea what it’s like to have cancer, but I can relate a bit on the other parts. I went back to school in my mid twenties for teaching. I finished my degree, though. The Core isn’t as bad as it may seem! The newer version (that my fiancé took over the summer) seems to be better than the older version. If you ever want to talk about any teaching stuff, let me know!
