Heartbreak Before the wedding

Holly, on March 19, 2020 at 1:29 PM Posted in Family and Relationships 0 17

So my wedding was perfectly scheduled for this weekend in Key West, Florida. Temps looked great, all goodie bags put together, Key Lime Pie and Mile 0 everything made, every single moment accounted for. And then Tuesday, we made the hard decision to cancel the wedding due to COVID-19. That was a very disappointing decision after months of tiny detail planning. But then the real tragedy struck, my beloved dog, Agnes, died suddenly from a freak infection due to what we think was a bite wound. I am filled with guilt. What is supposed to be the happiest week of my life has turned into the most tragic. She was one of my soulmates. My first dog and I loved her more than life. I guess in a way thank God the wedding was cancelled. But now we are doing a tiny ceremony on a hill in my hometown for just 10 of us on Saturday. I'm still filled with so much pain, regret, mourning, but we are going to go through with it. I just need some support, thank you all.

    Holly, my heart goes out to you as I absolutely love my fur child and could not imagine losing her so close to such an emotional time. I am of course also very sorry that your wedding had to be cancelled, and send you positive thoughts and warm feelings during this hard time. Take some time for yourself and just let the emotions flow, your bff Agnes is watching from doggie heaven pushing you forward and rooting you on! Sending a big hug your way, or in spite of the current situation a big virtual hug! I'm saying an extra prayer for you today!

    OMG I cannot imagine anything happening to our dog at this time. It would be the toxic icing on the cake. I'm so sorry for you. Virtual hugs!

    I am so so so so so so sorry. My heart breaks for you. Please be kind to yourself during this time and try to find some moments to relax. Some moments to yourself. Some moments with your FH and any other loved ones that are accessible right now. I will be praying for you.

    My heart breaks for you so so much. We're going through the same thing- last week the biggest thing we were dealing with was postponing the wedding. Now we're in a holding pattern to see if our fur child's back will get better again. It's been a rough few weeks, but somehow it only brings us closer. Closer than a wedding probably ever will. I'm so so sorry that you're dealing with this. Hopefully you have a beautiful wedding and you are able to enjoy some of the day.

    I love my dog more than I can explain and unless you’ve felt it you can’t explain it. I’m so sorry for your loss.

    Thank you, I am doing that. I think the tiny ceremony will be good, something positive out of all this. There will be no dress, no decor, no friends, just immediate family on a bluff overlooking my favorite location in the world.

    Yes thankfully most of the vendors did refund. Some - the DJ and the photographer - are currently not refunding, instead rescheduling. But there is no way we can have it down there anytime soon. I have to have spinal surgery in the coming weeks and it will take time to recover. And then god willing, we'll try for a baby.

    I am so sorry. I feel you.

    My FH proposed when we were on vacation in Aruba, came home and the next day we had to put my cat down. It was the happiest/saddest time of my life.

    Sending prayers for you and your fur-baby.

    Happy Wedding wishes for you!

    I'm so sorry for both losses. You're entirely entitled to mourn both the wedding (hours of investing time and money) as well as your beloved dog. Sending you lots of virtual hugs Smiley heart
