How to deal when girlfriends becoming pregnant and can't come to my wedding!

KJ Shea · December 29, 2009

We are going through the same thing. My FI's brother and his wife just announced that they are pregnant (he is the best man) and they are due in June. Now my own brother and his wife (who are both in the wedding party) are going to start trying for a baby in January. We are getting married in October or November. Ugh. So we are thinking of moving everything back to June but then all of the teachers in our group cannot come. This is crazy.

Destination weddings make things like this all the more difficult when it comes to traveling and especially babies! I can totally relate!

Everytime I would even talk about a date or even a season in the year, somebody is talking babies. Eventually I was came to the conclusion that it was my special day and I had to do it at a time that worked well for me. They'll be there in spirit! Have someone film the ceremony if you don't have a videographer. Best wishes to you!

THANK YOU ALYSSA! You receive a standing ovation from me!!

I understand that we all get caught up in "OUR DAY". Fine. But, also realize that people have their own lives and if they decide not to come to our DW then that is their choice. People and their circumstances are unpredictable. And quite frankly, I am NOT interested in flying with a baby. Been there, done that. It was a 2 hour flight from Seattle to San Francisco and that was one of the longest two hours I have ever experienced in my life! And being pregnant and traveling.. yep, sounds like a blast. Hope that I don't go in to premature labor and get stuck where ever I happen to be. Sounds memorable.
