Moh/sister Can't Come to Wedding & Preacher Cancelled

I'm sorry to hear that. Please, don't think along the line of "I know others have it worse than me". We each go through our own rough patches and one persons struggle is no less or worse than that of another. Every single one of us will need a shoulder to cry on at one point or another during our lives and we also will be that shoulder for another to cry on. If I were in your shoes, I would be upset too.

I would definitely reach out to your sister to confirm whether or not she can make it, especially since there was some sort of miscommunication regarding your mother and brother. Start searching for pastors now. You still have some time and I have faith that you will be able to find a replacement officiant. I know what it is like to keep getting knocked down and how the stress, sadness, and anxiety can start to feel like they are corrupting and infecting what is supposed to be one of the most happiest times in your life. I promise you, this too shall pass. It may not seem like it right now, and it sure isn't easy, but it will. Sending you hugs!

The preacher said that he had other arrangements he forgot about, and I'm not sure why my sister/MOH. Currently trying to get in touch to see what's up!

Hugs, thank you for this beautiful most. I saw it this morning and it made me smile. Ill try to keep my chin up!

I agree that it's a little strange that she contacted your mom and not you.

It makes me think that she might feel bad about it or might be in a tough position and is trying to find out from your mother how devastating it would be for you.

I would definitely talk to her. If she definitely can't make it and you aren't hurt by the reasons why, can you two do something special before or after to celebrate together?

What is wrong with people??? I swear this is like the 4th or 5th story I've read this week about officiants backing out at the last minute!! Can nobody read a calendar? I mean, you call an officiant, ask to hire for his/her services. Isn't the first question "when is your wedding date?" That's when they are supposed to check their calendar and make sure it has nothing else on it before saying "yes, I have that date available."

The fact that these cancellations are happening at the last minute makes me think these officiants have simply changed their minds, for whatever reason. Like they got a better offer suddenly.

I'm not saying this to upset you, Jenna. I'm just so pissed off (on your behalf) that this is happening to so many brides recently!! Ugh.

Just try to look for the silver lining in all this. Maybe he wasn't going to be any good for you guys anyway. Maybe the next one you find will be fabulous!!

Sorry about your sister/moh. That's an even rougher blow, I know. Maybe it will all work out anyway. And don't worry about nobody coming!! I'm sure there are lots of people who are really looking forward to it! Stay strong! You're almost there!
