Parents moving to another state in the middle of wedding planning

I’m sick to my stomach my anxiety is high and I just want to cry. Due to my dads job they are moving to Florida. We are currently in Ohio.
I am already stressed because Covid. So clearly we haven’t seen each other much and hoildays have been cancelled but now my parents are needing to move by August to another state. I’m a huge family person and I already was put anxiety medication when my fiancé and I moved into our house because it was just a lot but now this.... I know I need to grow up but to plan a wedding alone and not have my parents just a simple drive anymore just hurts....

My parents just dropped a phone call bomb on me last week and than this past weekend told me they sold our vacation home that we’ve stayed most summer weekends for the last 10 years.... my heart is broken.

I’m sorry!! That’s hard. My family is moving to Germany this summer because of the military. We had to postpone our wedding to June, which was when they were supposed to move. Then the military pushed back their move until July. I’m worried if we will have to push our wedding back again and if they’ll be able to be there

I'm Sorry , Being Away From Family Is Hard. My Family Is In Ohio, I Currently Live In Virginia With My FH . Before Here We Were In Japan Since 2015. Covid Has Messed Up Our Plans To Go Visit My Family. My FH Is On Deployment So I'm Planning Our Wedding Entirely Alone. It Sucks BUT Always Call Them When You Need Them! It Will Be An Adjustment. Goodluck

I couldn’t image your situation. I’m sorry you haven’t seen your family in awhile. It just simply sucks.

I'm sorry. That's rough. However, if this quarantine has taught us anything, it's that there are many ways we can stay connected with each other. You can have regular Zoom calls with your parents. It's not quite the same as being able to see them in person, but it's still great that we have this kind of technology. You are not planning your wedding alone. First off, your fiance should absolutely be helping out. And your mom can still be with you every step of the way through calls/video chats/text. The vacation home part must be very upsetting, but the memories you created there over the last 10 years aren't going anywhere!

I'm sorry! This is tough. We live in Texas and after college, my FH and I moved to Houston. My parents live in central Texas which is 5.5 hours away and between jobs and life, we don't see much of each other. I've planned the entire wedding by myself with little input from FH. It will definitely be tough at first, but this is definitely an opportunity for you and your fiance to lean on one another and grow closer. Change is hard but definitely try to support your parents decision. I'm sure they're having a tough time leaving you also
