Postpone or cancel?

Rosie, 30 November, 2024 at 21:18 Posted on Planning 1 20
Hello, my fiancé and I were due to get married this year but due to a variety of reasons including financial, family issues and not getting on we postponed to next June.

Sadly things are still unsettled between us - we moved our suppliers to a new date next June but my question is - if we cancelled now would we have to pay the full price or should we postpone for another year? I'm not sure how many times suppliers let you postpone?!
I'm really hoping things will improve between us as we both love each other very much.
Any advice would be appreciated x

    It's going to depend on the contracts you have with your suppliers, so you really need to check the small print.

    Have you looked into getting relationship counselling to see if you can resolve your differences? I definitely wouldn't go ahead with the wedding until you have sorted this out - while it would be very sad to end up losing money or paying out for a wedding you didn't end up having, it would be a lot worse (and more expensive) to go ahead with the wedding and then end up splitting up.

    Sending best wishes - I hope you are able to sort things out very soon as it must be so stressful for you x

    Ah thank you for your reply and kind words. As we postponed it before, we haven't received new contracts from all the suppliers with our new date hmm, only the old date. Do you think its worth contacting our wedding planner for advice? X

    You could ask your wedding planner, but it might be easier just to contact the suppliers direct. I would do this as soon as possible to find out where you stand - you don't want to find out that while you have been debating what to do, you have passed a deadline on which the payments increase! Your wedding planning might be able to help liaise with suppliers, but do bear in mind that she is not a neutral party, so while it's fine to accept her help in negotiating with suppliers, I wouldn't take her advice on whether to cancel or postpone - because that is a decision that needs to be made solely by you and your OH based on the state of your relationship and how resolvable your issues are.

    Sorry one more question! Would you advise explaining the situation to the suppliers or keep it as brief as possible saying due to personal circumstances we would like to postpone or cancel the wedding?

    Personally, I would keep it brief. They don't need to know the details, so just saying 'personal circumstances' is fine, especially as you don't know when or if you will be going ahead.

    Many vendors allow you to reschedule the wedding 1-2 times, but it depends on their policy. It’s best to discuss it directly with them. If you decide to cancel, you may face fees or lose your deposit, but some companies might offer a partial refund. I hope everything works out for you both!Smiley ring

    My best advice is to call off all plans and work on your relationship before following through with a large commitment such as marriage as there seems to be some glaring issues that aren’t new, going by your previous posts. All the best

    It's a tough situation, but reaching out to your suppliers to discuss their policies on cancellations and postponements would be a good start. Many are understanding, but terms can vary. Communication with your fiancé is also key during this time. For more resources, visit Commercial Fire Safety in Portland.

    If an event faces unexpected challenges, the choice between postponing or canceling depends on the circumstances. Postponing allows for adjustments and future opportunities, while canceling might be necessary if continuation is impossible. For instance, when planning an Islamic study session, rescheduling ensures participants still benefit, especially if materials like Surah Yaseen with colored images are prepared for better understanding. Ultimately, the decision should consider feasibility, impact, and available alternatives.

    Whether to postpone or cancel depends on the situation and its urgency. If there’s a chance to reschedule without major inconvenience, postponing is the better option. However, if the event or task is no longer relevant or feasible, cancellation might be the right choice. For example, if a new version of Pikashow APK is expected soon, postponing the download could be wiser than using an outdated one.

    When facing unexpected situations, it’s important to consider your options carefully, whether to postpone or cancel. For those living in UH residences, it's essential to assess how your decision might impact your daily routine, including child care choices for UH residences . Sometimes, rescheduling can give you more flexibility, allowing you to prioritize such needs. Ultimately, making the right decision ensures that both personal and family commitments are effectively managed.

    My fiancé and I were supposed to get married this year, but due to financial difficulties, family issues, and not getting along, we decided to postpone the wedding to next June. It was a tough decision, but we felt it was best to give ourselves more time to resolve our differences and plan things properly. In the meantime, I’ve been distracting myself with hobbies like gaming and recently came across Minecraft Clone APK , which has been a fun way to relax.

    I understand how tough this situation must be, and it’s great that you’re giving yourselves time to reflect and work things out. Postponing can often be a wise decision when things are uncertain, as it provides space to resolve any issues before making such a big commitment. It might also help to lean on trusted friends and family for support during this time. Just like in matters of faith, where we take time to reflect and work on ourselves, sometimes relationships need that same care and attention. I’ve found that reciting Surah Yaseen brings peace and clarity during uncertain times, and maybe it could help provide some comfort and guidance as you navigate through this. I hope everything works out for you both, and whatever decision you make, I’m sure it will be the right one for you. Wishing you peace and clarity ahead!

    That sounds like a really tough situation, and I’m sorry you’re going through this. It might be best to check your contracts with the suppliers—some may allow another postponement, while others might have cancellation fees. If you’re still hopeful things will improve, postponing could buy you time, but only if it doesn’t add more stress. Just like choosing the right subway soßen for your meal, making the right decision here depends on what works best for both of you. Wishing you clarity and the best outcome for both of you. 💛
