I have a chronic illness. My wedding was going to be 100 people, outdoors and in December. Thanks to being integrated into the community, we pulled things off cheap and everything was set to go. But with an early winter and being a graduate student, my illness has come on hard. After much agonizing my fiancé and I decided to forgo the big wedding and marry a day earlier than planned at my family’s house. We explained my situation to my vendors and all were able to accommodate except the wedding planner.
The house wedding will have only immediate family and my 2 close friends (my parents are both only children and my grandmother cannot travel).
My question is, how do I gracefully bow out of my big wedding? People in my community have expressed excitement, some helped pay for my dress, own the venue we got a discount on, and many other favors that helped my fiancé and I pull off a big wedding at 6k. Then there’s my fiancé’s big family that purchased plane tickets and hotel rooms to see us. So - SOS, diplomacy?
