Wheelchair brides, any advice?

Hi! I’m getting married on October 10th but I have a degenerative bone disease. When I was engaged to, I was at a point where I hadn’t walked for a year and we decided to wait the two years hoping it would let me relearn how to walk again. I am getting married in 5 1/2 months and all of a sudden my hip isn’t working again. I have a beautiful ball gown, and was a ballet dancer and have a beautiful dance planned but now am wondering how to reframe my plan for the day. I knew it was a possibility but I need some help figuring out the logistics. Any advice?

    Is there any opportunity to take some of your choreography and modify it for either sitting or standing so you can be comfortable on your special day? Also, are there any stretches/exercises you can do perhaps to help with your hip strengthening over the next few months? Sorry I'm no expert, just some thoughts that came to mind. Best to you and your marriage 😊 stay strong!

    Hi Cordelia! I'm so sorry to hear about this recent setback with your hip. Are you working still actively working with a doctor or physical therapist? I would definitely focus on strengthening exercises like Chelsea mentioned!

    You can also work on choregraphing a first dance that includes your wheelchair - I've seen some really creative and beautiful first dances on youtube!! Smiley heart

    Thank you guys! I’m working on it but I have to wait for the office to open due to the virus in order to do the operation for my hip Smiley sad hoping they will open soon. I just got my dress yesterday and it’s gorgeous but is definitely too poofy for a wheelchair
