postponing our dftw

[stitchlet]

Only a few days short of the 8th month mark, we've had to postpone our Intimate/Escape wedding.

We recently found out that someone very dear to us has been diagnosed with lymphoma. The doctors have said that things are likely to get quite serious in approximately 8-12 months. As there will be a great deal sadness at that time, DF & I have decided to postpone. We're now hoping to be able to get married in November 2008.

Although we both absolutely believe that this is the right thing to do, we are still disappointed. 17 months just feels like such a long time.

Thank you all for listening.

I really sorry about your situation. One thing you can count on is a longer wedding planning process, and you know what they say--once it is over you miss it! I hope everything works out for you.

So sorry to hear that. My FMIL was diagnosed with non-hodgkins lymphoma a few days ago. They tell her she'll be fine after the treatments of chemo she'll go through, which she started this week. We hope she'll be ok for the wedding, which she isn't too concerned about it.

 

[stitchlet]

Thank you all Cinderella22, KStarfish82, Summer-Caitlin, and disneygirl_wdw for all of your support and kind words

disneygirl_wdw: DF & I wish you and your family the very best for your FMIL's treatments. Sending you and yours lots of pixie dust
