First Breakdown

Mandi, on March 13, 2020 at 4:32 PM Posted in Community Conversations 0 8
Today was my first breakdown.

Between all the uncooperative or unresponsive venues last year.
My grandma going from working full time to being diagnosed with dementia and put in a home.And obviously loosing what she was going to give us monetarily for the wedding.To my bridesmaids dresses being discontinued and having to pick out new ones.The bridal shop ordering the wrong size gown and not figuring it out til I was in the middle of alterations.His aunts backing of hosting 10 more people in their bridal shower, and making me have 2 instead of the one like I wanted.Vendors just telling me to pay later, instead of just taking my money.My favorite cousins not coming to the wedding.People pulling out of attending after they RSVPd, and other people asking if it's ok if they come now.Today my grandmother's nursing home got put on lockdown. Til further notice.She's my only living grandparent, and she's just lost so much in the past year, and apparently now she gets to miss her only grandchild's wedding.This is the first thing that's really bothering me immensely. And the first time this whole wedding planning situation has made me cry.And I'm just. I'm not okay right now.

    I'm sorry this process has been very hard on you. I really do hope your wedding day ultimately is what you want us to be despite all the problem. I'm sending positive vibes your way and I'm praying for your grandma.

    I totally get it! My grandmas nursing home is under the same policy right now. All I can do is hope that it changes before the wedding. And, if not - I hope there’s a way we can live feed it or show her a video down the road. Unfortunately, we didn’t hire a videographer- so, it wouldn’t be the best quality. But, all we can do is work with what we have - right? Regardless...it’s still heartbreaking.

    I got teary eyed reading this, especially when it got to the point of your grandma missing your wedding. My heart breaks for you. I know how much grandmas can mean, especially when it comes to getting married. I am so sorry.

    I am so sorry that you are having to deal with all these setbacks. Your feelings are completely justified; maybe have a little date night or just an evening in with your FH and do whatever it takes to put wedding out of your mind for that time, whether it's eat, play games, go out... just do something that usually perks you up. Things like that... I, like Kelsi, got misty eyed reading your post. My heart goes out to you and I am praying and hoping that some sunlight comes peaking through the clouds for you soon.

    We didn't hire one either. We didnt see a need. We didnt expect this at all. We're trying to figure it out. Thanks.
