My fiance and I were planning to get married next June but 3 weeks ago he was diagnosed with inoperable lung cancer and given a prognosis of 6-12 months.

My fiance and I were planning to get married next June but 3 weeks ago he was diagnosed with inoperable lung cancer and given a prognosis of 6-12 months. He had his first chemo yesterday and although we know the cancer is terminal we are hoping that the chemo will give us more time and allieviate some of his symptoms.

We have booked a wedding at our local register office in Cambridge and bought the wedding forward to 3rd November. We are trying to get the reception at our local pub or hotel in Cambourne Cambridge but so far have not heard from either of them.

Any tips or help would be much appreciated for planning a wedding in 2 weeks.....

Su

    Su, I hope you have a truly amazing day and that the chemo gives you and OH some extra time together. This thread has shown just how fantastic Hitched can be, some amazing offers from Hitchers and suppliers. It's nice to know that so many are willing to help.

    My SIL is a florist and would be a lot less than a shop florist as she does them at home if that helps? We're quite local to you so could deliver no probs. Let me know x

    Hi Su So sorry to hear about your Fiance's diagnosis. Have you tried Star radio, to see if they can give you a shout out for venue assistance at all? I remember that they have done something similar in the past. Hope you get all sorted for your date in November.

    Hi su, I'm really sorry to hear such sad news about your H2B. It sounds as though you've had loads of offers of support on here, if there is anything else you need then give a shout out on hitched. I hope you get your day sorted, and it's a day for you to treasure forever.

    I cannot believe I didn't see this.

    Su, I hope things are going as well as possible under such awful circumstances.

    Don't be worried about asking for help- people only offer because they want to and they are a good bunch on here Smiley smile

    It is heartwarming to see all the offers of help in such circumstances.

    I know you've had an offer of a free pro photographer but if I can help with prints or albums, I will do my best.

    All the best for your wedding day.

    A hairdressers posted in this thread offering to help, look back through and find her, if not start a new thread asking. Failing that call a hairdressers and explain the situation , ask if they'd be prepared to come out to your house xxx

    Hi Mandie

    I had already got m hair sorted and my H2B was going to go to barber this week but taken ill on tuesday and is now on oxygen so very short of breath, He would really appreciate it if you could come and give him a trim we are in Cambourne. He is determined to get to the ceremony but is stressing out about where and when he will be able to get his hair cut.

    Please let me know asap.

    Su
