A little back story: When I first joined WW it was back in 2016 when we originally planned a date for sometime in May 2018.

A little back story:

When I first joined WW it was back in 2016 when we originally planned a date for sometime in May 2018. Realizing quickly how expensive weddings actually are, we set a new date and booked our venue for June 9th 2019. Unfortunately, my moms breast cancer came back a year later and so our finances were strained and decided to cancel yet again to help my mom as her health was and is more important and with cancer, you just don't know how things will go. Luckily we were able to get our deposit back which we used to help my mom and even better, my mom beat cancer again a year later in 2018 and has been clear since!

We haven't talked about setting a new date/going back to our dream venue to start the process all over again after that. With everything that went on, a wedding was just not in our budget, not the wedding we were originally planning on anyways.

Jumping forward to August 2019 I sat down with FH and said "Let's just do it, let's get married next month! I'm tired of waiting and all that matters to me is that we are married. It doesn't matter how it happens, I just want to be your wife and you my husband!" He agreed and 7weeks later, our day has finally come!

Who else is getting married this weekend, whether it be today, tomorrow or Sunday?! How are you feeling? And last minutes things you need to get done?

I am feeling so so excited and I can't believe it's finally actually going to happen!

    Thank you and that is truly amazing! Cancer sucks so much! I wish my mom would be there, but unfortunately she wasn't be able to make it. We're eloping, so it will just be my FH and I and plan on making a small book of pictures for our families afterwards.
