My fiancée and I are hoping to get married sometime in late 2025 or more likely 2026. We got engaged in June 2022. Two months later, my fiancée was injured in a diving accident that caused a high level spinal cord injury that left paralyzed from the neck down and dependent on a ventilator. After being released from a rehab facility, she lived in her parents' home for close to a year before I was able to buy/close on a home that is accessible and modified for her needs. She along with her mom moved in this past August. Her mom along with home care nurses and attendants care for her during the day. I work from home and am able to help at times during the day. On the weekends and nights I'm pretty much her primary caregiver.
We have debated about having a small wedding, but both of us still dream about having the big wedding we envisioned when he got engaged. Before the accident, we were working out dates and had started to contact vendors and venues. I know the wedding planning will mostly fall on me because of the severity of my fiancée's disability. My fiancee's mom wants us to have a small wedding, but is fine with whatever we decide. She said that she doesn't feel she would be great at wedding planning because she and her husband had a small courthouse wedding back in the late 70s. My fiancee's best friend who will be her maid of honor is willing to help us a bit and my mom had a career in event planning years ago and did work some weddings. I know it will be odd for me a man to do be doing most of the planning on my own. I'm curious if there are brides or grooms on this site who have been in similar situations.
