Our wedding is in February of this upcoming year. We’ve been booked at our venue and planning it since September 2020. Since December of last year, my fiancé’s family has undergone some major changes in their lives. He lost both his grandparents (my MIL’s parents) due to complications of covid between end of December and very beginning of January. Fast forward to just a little over a month ago & 4 months away from the big day, my fiancé suddenly loses his father at what most of would consider a young age. We had no notice, preparation, or awareness that this would happen. Of course, my MIL, fiancé, and I are devastated from so much loss so quickly, especially with a loss like the one of my FIL. We have now left our first home together to live with my MIL for a while so she is not alone. Just to add: my FIL was so so so excited for this wedding. It was all he spoke about since his only child is finally getting married.
Our bachelor and bachelorette weekend was supposed to be this coming weekend. My fiancé wanted to cancel it because he is just not in the mood for it, and I can understand. I went ahead and canceled mine because I just couldn’t be getting ready to go have this amazing weekend while my fiancé and MIL are at home hurting. However, part of me is feeling really down because had none of this happened, wouldn’t even be writing this discussion. Am I selfish feeling down about the fact that I just couldn’t do my bach weekend? I just wish I could’ve done something. I am now just planning the wedding, with little motivation because of what feels like this never ending roller coaster. Having a lot of mixed emotions at the moment. Asking for a friend and some advice🤍
