I'm thinking of canceling my wedding...

My fiancé and I have been together for almost 6 years and a few days ago his mom (who has never had any health problems EVER) had a heart attack and is in the ICU. Her prognosis isn't looking great at the moment. If the worst happens and she doesn't make it, I can't even imagine going through with this wedding. How could we even begin to imagine throwing a big party when such an unexpected tragedy could be taking place so close to the big day...? I'm thinking we would just have to do something small with close family if this is the case. Of course a lot of money would be lost, not to mention the number of people who have already booked flights and accommodations. Does anyone have similar experiences and I am very interested in how you managed it. Thanks so much for your story/advice!

I am so very sorry. We had planned to get married last summer, but my aunt passed away suddenly in the late winter... so we pushed off the date. Based on this experience, I wouldn't cancel the wedding. When you don't have so much lead time (at least a year) it is really hard to put everything back in place. It has been a logistical nightmare for us. Also, if people have already arranged their flights and hotels it's difficult not to take that into consideration.
