I think we are calling off the wedding! :(

Okay, here's another suggestion. What about eloping and just doing a Justice of the Peace when you get back. Let everyone think you didn't have any sort of ceremony so they won't have anything to get upset about. Then, if you want to next Oct 2009 do a big thing in San Antonio for the family - if they are willing to help with expenses. I know a lot of families these days are very supportive of just going to the Justice of the Peace and saving money. It's just a thought.

Thanks again for all of your suggestions!

Fi and I returned yesterday from a quick visit to Las Vegas. My younger brother had his 30th bday so FI and I flew to Phoenix to surprise him. As soon as we got to his home I handed him his bday card that read, "The best way to celebrate your 30th Bday is to take a trip to Las Vegas! So pack your bags we need to be at the airport in 1 hour!!"

He was soo excited & we had a wonderful time!

I think that the change of scenery was good for FI and I too!!!

As far as an update with our situation, I don't really have one. We kinda took a break from all of our "talking". I've noticed that I'm not really stressing anymore. This is the man of my life. We are in love. Things will work out. Maybe I won't have the lavish wedding I envisioned but I'll have the man I envisioned and I'll take that!

Vegas must have been a blast. I am glad that you are not so stressed now. The talking will get better as it usually rough to adjust to the idea of changes in the planning. Just remember that this your day and do what you feel is right for you and your fiance.

I'm really sorry to hear that, I hope things get better for you.

It is really inspiring to read your thread, and even though you have been through some really tough times, at no point did you mention wanting to end your relationship - it shows how much you 2 are meant to be, and if you need to call of the wedding at this point, it isn't going to weaken your relationship!

good luck with whatever you decide
