Tragedy before the wedding

I'm so sorry for your loss! I'll be praying for you, your FH, and his family.

So sorry for your loss.

I'm so sorry for your loss. I'm sure that none of this is easy, and I hope that you can all find comfort with each other. Best wishes to you.

So, very sorry for your loss.

I'm so sorry for your loss! I think you have to look down in your hearts of hearts to figure out what is best for your family. Personally I wouldn't cancel anything. A nice party with might be a good thing to pick up people's spirits. But that's just me.

Sending hugs and prayers your way. I'm so sorry for your loss.

My friend got married in 2013... 2 months before the wedding, her now-husband's mom died suddenly. It was devastating. Yet, the wedding went on as planned including a beautiful reception, because she would have wanted them to celebrate their lives together. They honored her with many touches during the ceremony and reception.

I am so sorry for your loss. I also encourage you to grieve in the way that you need to, and am sending you lots of internet hugs!

My husband lost his brother in late April, not long before our wedding in June and this was something we had to think about also. I'm sorry for your loss, but I hope very much you and your fiance and his family can talk the plan over and be sure it's what everyone would want. I spent a lot of time discussing what to do with my husband and his mother, and they decided they needed something happy as a distraction and wanted to proceed with everything as normal. The only thing we altered was having a lantern lit for memorial of my brother in law during the evening. We were already having a pretty small wedding with about 50 in attendance, so I'm sure that factored in. But make sure that everyone involved wants to tone it down so much. It might hurt them more, to see a day that was supposed to be such a big event reduced to reflect their loss. Only you and they know the best choice in the end and it's great you are considering them when it comes to your wedding. I hope for your day everyone can feel a little better to know there is still hope and love in the world and not only pain and loss

I am so sorry for your loss.

I'm so sorry. I hope you are able to lean on each other and find some peace during this time.

So sorry for your loss!

Maybe sit on the decision for another week? You may decide you want to have a happy occasion to distract from the grief. I also feel like this would double the sorrow.

But again, do whats right for you and your FH. Sending you lots of strength, love, and prayers!

Sending you thoughts and prayers. So sorry for your loss.

I think it's incredibly brave of you two to go on with the wedding at all. When my grandfather died in January, I was convinced there was no way I would be able to have a wedding without him there (and I'm still not entirely sure I'm comfortable with it). Whatever you two feel is appropriate is perfect. If you choose to do a reception celebration later, maybe see if you can move your deposits for your vendors instead of cancelling altogether? It is short notice, but because of the circumstances I feel like at least some would be accommodating.

I'm so sorry for your loss. You and your loved ones are in my thoughts and prayers!

So terribly sorry for your loss

My uncle, who traveled from Sri Lanka to the USA for our wedding, passed the morning of the wedding. We still went on with it as that's what he would've wanted- he came to party and so we did. We included a moment of silence for him in the beginning of the ceremony and put his photo on the memorial table. I'm so so sorry for your loss. I hope your family will find comfort and peace. Have you asked yourselves what his brother would've wanted y'all to do? Was he pumped and excited? I'm sure you will do what's best and your FH is lucky to have you.

Very selfless of you. I'm so sorry for your loss.

I'm so sorry for your loss! I wouldn't know how to proceed either!

I'm so sorry for your loss I will suggest you do what's best for your family
