May 2009 Brides

so I went from a wedding of 42 to a wedding of maybe 18. I have cried the entire day. Pretty much besides myself-fiance doesn't get it-I keep telling him that i have wanted this wedding since I was a child and now it might not happen because of this flu situation. I literally have hired a DJ, a photographer, a videogapher-and will now only have 18 people if i am lucky. UGH. I really dont know what to do now

Here is my dress finally!!!

This flu sucks!!!!! I am sorry for everyone hope it works out!!!!

Here are some pics from my bachleorette party!!!

 

 

the dress looks great.. and ur bach party looked like tons of fun!! thanks for the posts!

It was a HUGE moment of "let's just keep the peace" Not that I am not looking forward to the mexico wedding...it just wasn't what I originally envisioned.

Thanks so much ladies for your support. Have tried to be positive through this whole thing and I kinda feel like kitty from that 70's show "oh everything is swell" everytime something crappy happens...and I just cracked...
Feeling a bit better. We will be married somewhere and hopefully my dress will not be clumped up all around my waist!

Oh you are going to be there with me?? How exciting...when do you arrive? We have to have a drink...I will need one!

Hang in there!
I am so sorry this is happening to you. I wish people would do some research before they panic. Jax was right..something like 36000-40000 people die of the regular flu every year...there is absolutely no reason to panic and you have to be in CLOSE contact to get it.
I'm so sorry...I don't think anyone knows how much of ourselves we put into these events.

MAY BRIDES UNITE AGAINST SWINE FLU!!!!!!

 

I really hope that i dont hear anymore people backing out of weddings because of this darn flu!! I cannot believe what is happening ... BLKATZ.. im thinking about u !!! just know that those 18 guests that do show up... are showing up beacuse they really really care about you and ur FI... it may seem like a terrible tragedy (i would look at it like that too) but keep your head up and make the best out of the situation... those people are coming for a reason and that reason is YOU and FI!!!! ... they love you we love you and you will have a wonderful wedding!!

 

Now, to all those people cancelling flights and trips, GROW UP!!!!!

i am SO sorry this has happened to you ... i can't believe so many of your guests have backed out. but your wedding WILL happen, you will still be a beautiful bride, you'll still have amazing photos ... it will just be a smaller crowd. when all this blows over and you return home happily married (and perfectly HEALTHY) the people who panicked and canceled last minute will be positively kicking themselves.

all the best to you, your FI, and the family and friends who are sticking by you through all of this.
