Hi everyone! So I feel like I have a lot to say and idk who to talk to so I just wanted to get some different opinions.
My fiancé and I were supposed to be getting married on March 20th. The date couldn’t be any more perfect as far as timing goes. I live across the country from my parents and that date was perfect for my family to be able to fly over to Utah (currently where my fiancé, his family, and I live). My fiancé is a pilot that got furloughed (thanks a lot COVID!) and he finally got an email saying he was to start training again. We were so happy and excited for that until we found out his start date is Feb. 18.
He is unable to request time off and either he goes through training from start to finish or he loses his pilot job. We’re so grateful that he can start again but at the same time the timing feels so terrible because now the wedding we’ve been planning has to get rescheduled. His training is anywhere between 6-8 weeks. We were thinking about waiting til after his training but we don’t want to wait that long and even if we did it’s going to be very tricky to plan a wedding at that point because aviation careers mean a lot of time away from home. So we are now thinking about moving the wedding to February 11th (which happens to be my grandpa’s birthday but he passed away a few years ago) or some day before February 18. I feel that’s so soon but I also feel like we don’t have many options left at this point. COVID also ruined our honeymoon plans so now we have to do something small in the states. Idk, it feels like it’s just one thing after another. I’ve been feeling so discouraged and stressed out lately and I know it’s just a date but I just really don’t know what to do. Is anyone experiencing something somewhat similar to this?
P.S. thank you so much if you made it this far and for any advice you can give me. I really appreciate it and sorry for the rambling.
