Posted in Etiquette and Advice 137

So I am getting married in September and I just recently found my dress. I just went to the doctor's office yesterday and found out that I'm 8 weeks pregnant with twins!!! FH and I have invested already so much money into the wedding that cancelling is really not an option. Are than any other brides...

So I am getting married in September and I just recently found my dress. I just went to the doctor's office yesterday and found out that I'm 8 weeks pregnant with twins!!! FH and I have invested already so much money into the wedding that cancelling is really not an option. Are than any other brides out there that will be pregnant during their ceremony?? What are you doing different to adjust to your growing belly?? I'm kind of upset that I will have to change my dress but I always wanted children and it looks like God has saw that this is the "perfect" time to get knocked up, lol!

    No no no no no no NO. NO.

    Listen y'all---you do not get to be offended by OP's treatment of HER OWN BODY. Shit---you just can't. If she wants to scream and cry, say oops, say knocked up, she can. It's her body. She's not being nasty to anyone else in her post, she's not mocking people with fertility issues, she's using her own language.

    JFC. Listen---I had a miscarriage last year and it was FUCKING AWFUL. And I'm struggling now to get pregnant again. That sucks. But OP isn't being rude to ------ I don't except every person in the world to have the same emotions I have.

    If someone wants to go--I'm pregant and it's the worst thing that ever happened to me--that's okay. It's HER BODY. HER EMOTIONS. She's allowed to own her feelings. Back the fuck up with this "oh it's offensive."

    Sorry no. You're offensive for trying to control what someone else feels about their own situation.

    No one cared when Britney Spears said, "Oops, I did it again"

    Came back because I was curious how this post generated so many comments.

    OP your post is fine! The sensitivity anymore is ridiculous, people who WANT to find offense will find it anyway they can

    Congratulations! That is amazing news! I recently found out that I will be a pregnant bride as well. I am not canceling/ moving my wedding as it is in only 45 days or so. I already had my dress bought and altered by the time I found out so I'm hoping I still fit into it! Good luck to you and your growing family!

    EVERYTHING @AMW SAID.

    Seriously guys. Four letters. She gets to feel however she wants to feel about her own body. You absolutely cannot tell her how to feel about that. Jesus.

    @OP, double congratulations to you!! I will agree you should move your wedding one way or another!

    Congratulations!!! Since you will be so close to your due date near your current wedding date (and with twins!) I would definitely move the date up. Especially with a multiples pregnancy, there could be unforeseen circumstances that would put you on bedrest and you will likely have the babies before your due date.

    Congratulations OP! If you're still reading this I think it's better to postpone your day instead of pushing up. Depending on how high in demand your vendors are, it may be easier to delay.

    Congratulations!!

    I have suffered 3 miscarriages, I'm also being told to prepare for the possibility of no more children at 26 years old. I have some health issues.

    I in no way found the "oops" to be offensive. I see "oops" as something unplanned occurring. Like oops I dropped my car keys or oops I misplaced my glasses.

    Not oops I just chopped my finger off.

    I am very sorry for those on this thread also dealing with infertility. It is hard and clearly a trigger for you.

    The op clearly didn't have malicious intentions.

    Congrats again to the OP!!

    I would recommend moving your date. Congratulations on twins! I have 12yr old twin girls, they are the best! Twins do come early and with me, i was in and out of the hospital all the time for precautions/bed rest and such. Good luck!

    Congratulations!

    I have had two miscarriages and am approaching 40, so.... yeah. I didn't take your "Oops" as offensive. Now, if you said, "Fuck, I'm pregnant," then that's a whole different story.

    Awwww. Twins are great. God knew I couldn't handle it but he knew I could as an aunt. Lol. I have twin nieces 2 years old. They're amazing. Congrats. I'm with the others...can you move your date up or down? My nieces came early & I heard it's common.
