Wedding has been cancelled ;-(

kentishbride, 29 April, 2009 at 21:37 Posted on Planning 0 30

I cancelled my wedding today - things were just not working as they were between by partner and I - and when we traced it back we realised it was the wedding that was ruining the relationship we had - mainly due to finances and not being able to meet the rising costs. It has all been cancelled and we are lucky in that as the wedding wasn't til next year all we have lost are our deposits.

Am totally gutted - but hopeful that with just us to concentrate on - we can salvage our relationship and maybe look at a wedding when financial situations improve.

Thanks for the help i got from you guys whilst planning the weding - and I wish you all very happy wedding days and successful maraiges x

    Awww so sorry to hear this, but it sounds like everyone else says its for the best. If things are a little difficult now, they would have been worse if married, take some time out and re-ignite and re-coup xx

    Kentish, I'm very sorry to hear this. It sounds like a brave and wise move to cancel or postpone.

    I hope you rediscover what made you both want to get married in the first place, and have fun along the way.

    If it's not too hard, do pop back from time to time to let us know how you are getting on.

    Kentish, I am so sorry but at least you still have each other ?...you both know that marriage is still on the cards and when you are both ready and finances are in control you can concentrate on the wedding that you both want ?

    I hope you still feel welcome here ?

    God KB, I'm so sorry that it's come to this. You've both been very brave and wise in taking such a scary decision.

    Please, please, don't disappear. I'll miss you and will quite likely stalk you or summat if you do!

    Sorry really that you've had to cancel but it takes a stronger couple to cancel at times than going ahead without it being 100% right so you have been very brave. I hope your relationship gets back on track now and you can have the wedding you both want in time to come or possibly not have the wedding but have a perfect relationship as I believe there doesn't need to be a marriage to live happily ever after.

    Really sorry to hear you've cancelled the wedding. It sounds like you've both made the right decision though. I hope you can both still make your relationship work and eventually have your wedding, although I know there's a lot of couples who find that they are better as a couple not being married.

    I hope it all works out x

    Hi Kentish,

    (((((HUG))))))) You seem like a v v v sensible laydee, you have put your relationship first and put the wedding on a back burner, I think you are both very brave and that you have done the right thing, H and I went through a rough patch a few months ago and we talked about cancelling ?, I was too selfish to even contemplate it at the time , luckily we made it through the dark bit and are v happy now, I hope the same is true for you guys. ❤️

    Please please take Sarah up on her offer, you are both going through similar things, you could bounce off each other and be a beacon of support. Also - jus cos our not a "bride" doesnt mean we dont need your resourcefulness or ideas, so you see.... you have to stick around on hitched cose we need you!!

    So sorry to hear this Kentishbride. Really happy that you still have each other though and that you can work on things and move forward, also that you've not lost a huge amount of cash from this.

    All the best to you and your OH, I am sure you will get through this and it will make you stronger than ever ?

    That must have been a very difficult but very brave decision to make. I think it's wonderful that you've recognised what is going wrong in your relationship and trying to sort it out, rather than just continuing.

    I really hope things will work out for you both - and don't be a stranger.

    Thanks for the support - to be honest all i have done since the cancellation is wonder whether i have done the right thing - but i know we would never have lasted if things didn't change x

    Speaking as someone who let it get too far down the line, you have done the most sensible thing. You are still at a point where you want to work for your relationship. I sadly went passed that point.

    Kb - weddings can be rescheduled, the repairation of a relationship can't. If something is causing severe problems, remove it from the equation so you can see clearly if there is a deeper underlying cause. You have absolutely done the right thing.

    ? So glad you didn't disappear.
