How do I go about canceling my wedding ?

Katelyn, on July 20, 2021 at 3:07 AM Posted in Planning 0 10
Hello! So my wedding is 66 days out, and I'm definitely under a lot of stress and im starting to realize that this is maybe not what I wanted. My bridal shower is this upcoming Sunday. Im unsure if my feelings about marriage are due to stress and all the planning that has been on my shoulders or if im truly unsure about marrying my fiance. I feel like im on a tight timeline, and so many people are looking forward to this , and in a way im afraid of letting people down.. So I was just wondering how would I go about my current situation?

    I’m sorry to hear you are going through. It’s natural to have some of these feelings when the stress of planning hits you, but I would seek counseling to work through how you’re feeling. Maybe “postpone” your wedding until you are able to work through this to be sure first. This way you will have more time to know exactly what you feel. Good luck.

    I would absolutely listen to your gut here!
    I may be embarrassing to cancel but a little embarrassment now feels a lot better than going through with a wedding you have doubts about.

    The stress of wedding planning is definitely a lot for some people but feeling like you aren’t sure of your fiancé is not normal. It sounds like an immediate sit down is needed to express your feelings of doubt and seek outside counseling. Postponing the wedding is not a big deal, especially now. People don’t need a reason why, they will probably think it’s covid related. Being legally tied to someone else who you are already having doubts on before it starts could have devastating effects. I hope you figure everything out and find some peace of mind no matter what you choose.

    Listen to your gut. My sister had this feeling right before her wedding, but my mother told her "just do it, we already spent all this money"... worst advice ever. Don't let anyone force you to go against your feelings.

    Ask your bridal shower host to cancel the shower. You don't need more voices in your decisions and shouldn't have to pretend joy. Give yourself and your partner time to discuss. Best wishes.

    Have the shower canceled for this weekend - they can make up any excuse. Have a serious sit down with your fiancé and let them know how you’re feeling. I would try to calmly talk about how you feel and how to go about finding resolution if it can be found. Don’t go through with a wedding just because you have it planned. A divorce is much more emotionally tolling and expensive than a cancelled wedding.

    It's okay to postpone ! Definitely talk to your Fiance and/or a good friend. You can also try to offer up your wedding date if you can't get money back [financial]. But the most important thing to consider is that that you're all in and/or just need reassurance.

    My best friend in the world’s dad said to her before they walked down the aisle “Let’s just go, we can turn around and leave right now!” and she didn’t take him up on his offer. Her biggest regret in life.

    I juat wanted to say thank you to all you beautiful ladies, I took the time to think and I decided to call the bridal shower off on Friday. I'm in the process of calling all the vendors. The amount of happiness I feel is so unreal, which just proves I made the right decision.
