Like Martha, I will be pregnant at my wedding. 5 months to be exact. It was a surprise to us as well, since we were avoiding for our wedding. I morned the idea of not being the traditional bride for about a day and then have not thought about it since. I am so thrilled to be lucky enough to be carrying the child of the man that I am so in love with. I believe god has a plan for everyone and god wanted Hannah to be a guest at our wedding. :-)
I think that everyone should do things on "their" own schedule. Most young couples want to have time on their own to become established and enjoy the honeymoon phase. FI and I both already have children from previous marriages who live with us and we have lived together for 2 years . So we are already not the typical young couple. FI is in his late 40's and time is ticking if you know what I mean!! :-) We are blessed to be educated, live in a big home in a great neighborhood and are more than capable of supporting this child as well as our previous two. Our children have everything they need emotionally and financially. So, for us, the time was right. We had already planned to start trying immediately after the wedding, thus the reason I was not on BC. It can take a few cycles to get back to normal and we didn't want to waste anytime.
I have a beautiful, expensive gown that I bought and prepaid for before I found out I was pregnant and could not return, so it will probably need about $500 in alterations, but is it worth it to have the most amazing year of my life heck YEAH and I wouldn't change it for the world!!!
