Dw Wedding After Postponing But I Am Ok. Introducing Me.

[ValentineMrs2Be]

Hi everyone.  I am planning to marry my sweetheart of a whole lot of years (lol) on 2/14/16 in Puerto Rico.  We were to have married this Saturday, 9/5/15 here in Maryland but had to postpone while my FH deals with a medical issue.  This past month has been so emotionally difficult for us both and our families.  We went from a 30 day countdown to no countdown at all.  This was after planning for 1.5 years.    But it is OK.  What matters the most is my FH's health. I mean we can always choose another day for a wedding but without my man there's no wedding, right?  The good news is that he is responding well to treatment and has an excellent prognosis for a complete recovery.  

 

Since having to postpone our wedding my FH has talked nonstop about wanting to marry me ASAP after he gets through with his treatment.  We got a lot of people suggesting that we go to the JOP but we really wanted to have a ceremony.  My DH suggested going to an island with just immediately family and the closest of friends and to do it early in 2016 and then have a big reception.  So here I am planning a DW.  I am super excited and can't wait for our BIG DAY.  

 

I look forward to planning with you all and reading all about your wedding day.

I'm so glad your FH is recovering. You have such a beautiful love story. Best wishes for a lifetime of happiness together.

 

Thank you.  I see you are fairly new yourself.  How's everything going?

Thank you.  My FH went there for work earlier this year and fell in love with PR.  When the idea of a DW came up PR was his immediate choice.  :-)

So glad to hear your fiancé is recovering well! It sounds like a DW is the way to go Something beautiful with just your closest family and friends surrounding you is ALWAYS a wonderful idea -- as a wedding photographer, I absolutely LOVE small intimate affairs because they are much more personal and they are fueled with so much emotion and love for the couple. My husband and I actually got married on the 10th anniversary of our first date, so I know what it means to have to wait LOL. But remember, good things come to those who wait -- I think your celebration is going to be amazing. Wishing you both the very best as your journey toward your Big Day
