I'm Back!

Brittany, on September 23, 2021 at 10:54 Posted in Plan a wedding 0 11

So a lot has happened!

We had our wedding booked for December 2022 in Mexico and of course, as we start rolling things all of the sudden everyone has a problem. A lot of drama came up that completely changed our mind about getting married in Mexico, others who said they were interested, fell through the moment we had rates from a travel agent and plenty of family drama made me call it off completely. I was really sad because it was finally something we agreed on but in the end, everything fell through and looking at it did not make us happy anymore. An other thing that affected it is in the military, it is tour season again and people start leaving in January 2022 - October 2023 and all of the groom's guest who he wanted to invite won't even be around. So why make him have a wedding with none of his guests if we cancelled Mexico in the first place because none of my guest wanted/could show up (relates to the drama mentioned above)? I had to delete my old profile because I got rid of so much thinking I didn't need it because we were going to Mexico, but now that we aren't I need everything back to make sure I plan accordingly.

This has been so stressful, and not even 6 months of wedding planning we have changed places like 3 times and dates like 100000 times it feels like.


Sorry to vent, I have been MIA for a few weeks because of everything going on and I needed to really think about what are options are. After going out for a few hours just the two of us we finally decided. Yes its a little far, but we gotta make sacrifices. I don't want to start our marriage with one of us resenting the other because of this.

    Wedding time is the worse, some people are so rude with their opinions and what not, it just got too much. Also, thank you I appreciate it Smiley smile Now we are looking pretty much anywhere in Alberta. So far I like a ceremony and then a reception place in Edmonton and 2 places each in Canmore, Calgary and Red Deer area.

    Sorry to hear about your change of plans. Family drama is the worst and for some reason, weddings is when things tend to explode. If you want to go on a private rant, feel free to DM me lol.

    What kind of place are you looking for now that you're keeping things closer to home?

    Thanks for the words of encouragement. I have been extremely off from this and didn't even want to make a new account but this website is the best and it really helps. Also because dates in 2023 have already been getting booked - so I need to at least get a venue down!

    Hi Brittany, do whats best for you and your future husband. Like my mother in law said people who wants to me there will be there. Maybe if you choose destination wedding, make it close family only. Or if not just the two of you and treat it as a honeymoon!😁😁😍😍😍🤞🏽

    Yeah a lot of things just started coming up, so it was a good decision. We are already on planning on going on our honeymoon there because it was a beautiful resort.

    I am more upset because it was something we finally agreed on for cost wise and location and it was not feasible unfortunately.

    Your family seems to be happy for you both though they seem to put their travel issues on you for what you want to do destination wedding wise. Its not the greatest feeling of getting put down this way. My sister (grown up as kids) is getting married in Cancun in April 2022 and no issues as whoever can travel will do so. Those who can't may wait for the second reception if held in town once returned. Its terrible to hear the fiance's side can't make it due to the military active season. I do hope they come for the date not in operation.

    Though the difficulties did come down on you both, it seems the cancellation of the destination wedding may be a blessing and make it a vacation/honeymoon after the wedding. This will give you the time to enjoy together alone.

    That sounds like a big headache but in the end you'll get to where you want to be. And...
