Deadly swine flu virus in Mexico

Wow so much drama on here today...at least its not about the swine flu

 

On a brighter note since we canceled our site visit my WC has been giving me hourly updates about how nice it is down there

So sorry to hear that. I hope that you still go through with you wedding plans. It will still be the best because you will be marrying your FI. When are you planning on leaving?

I'm so sorry Sensatori Bride! *hugs*

 

Jillian-I am so sorry too! *hugs* to you as well

I'm sooo sorry. These are terrible things to happen during you wedding. But my TA said things would probably be changing in the next couple days so maybe you will get a couple more people to go!!!!

 

Thank you but its just a site visit I feel so bad for you and all the May weddings

i'm so very sorry. what does your FI think? does he still want to go through with the wedding there? he is truly the one who matters most. i am glad your parents will still come ... does FI have any family at all coming?

and please know that just because people have canceled, it doesn't mean they don't love you both. some people just scare easily, others have medical reasons, and still others will be kept out of work that they can't afford to miss. honestly if they are scared enough to cancel their own trip, they probably love you enough to *wish* you'd cancel yours to be safe. i know it is very hard not to be hurt and you must be so devastated.

WOW that was very well said!!!

i am wondering what the CDC *does* consider "essential?!"

Wow, I'm just going to ignore that post - thanks girls for defending me, glad it got straightened out already! I think people that know me here (I've been around for over 2 years) know that I am not one to cause drama, I was just backing Des up - sometimes we feel good about that (when someone has our back), we all kind of take care of each other around here. Lord knows we don't need more drama at a time like this! I'll just assume it was a misunderstanding and move on!

 

Oh gosh, I'm really sorry...

 

I had planned for hardly anyone to show up - it came to the point where we just needed to make a decision one way or another, stick with that, put out positive energy and just see where things go! Certain things are just out of our control. I'd actually prepared myself for my Grandparents not wanting to come (totally understandable because of their ages) - they are like my parents (my Mom died when I was young and I lived with them for a long time - they helped raise me ). I will admit I avoided my Grandma for 2 days because I just wasn't ready to face it, but yesterday when I turned my attitude around and started working on my Visionary Board everything seemed to change - it happens from the inside out, right?! Today she is on board!

 

I guess what I'm trying to say is do you think it will be OK for Y'ALL if it's just you and your parents?? Dig deep, and when you find the answer know that whatever you decide is OK. Maybe you can start working on your own visionary board? Just a suggestion... I know personally that has really helped me! Maybe cut out pics of your parents and you and FI and the amazing location.... I know I am feeling more and more grateful for each day and each happy moment.

 

I truly believe things happen for a reason and that there are some good lessons for us all to learn from this! I can't explain why... I just feel it.

 

We'll make it through, girls!!!

 

Agreed, well said. I'll share an email with y'all from my friend (and hairstylist/makeup artist). It was really sweet and gets to the point of all this marriage stuff :

Title: "I am here for you!"

So sweet! My sister whom I've not really spoken to in about 3-4 years (long story) also wrote me something similar about it just being a date on the calendar and it is what's truly in your heart that counts those many years later in a marriage. Very sweet of them both.

I know it still sucks, but I think it helps to hear this from women who have been married. SO many people care about each and every one of us! And if for whatever reason plans fall through, it definitely does not mean they do not love us. I think a lot of people really feel for us in this uncertain time!
