Has anyone postponed their wedding?

I have postponed my wedding because of factors out of our control.  It is not easy, but sometimes it is the right thing to do.  No one can tell you if he or she is the right man for you, but here is one question to start with: could you even imagine your life without him?  Is he the one that holds you up when you reach the roughest times? Do you know him well enough to commit the rest of your life here on Earth to him?  Don't plan the wedding until you know the answer to your question because marriage is meant to be a permanent sacred bond.

YES!  My husband and I both waited until our wedding night.  It was a wonderful decision.  I pray that my children do the same.\n\nYou will find a wonderful man who respects you and your values. Don't settle for anything less.

No, but I married my best friend.\n\nI think it's pretty special to have built a very strong friendship before we had any romantic interest in each other.\n\nWe've only been married for a little under 2 years and we are raising 4 children together - 3 of mine from my previous marriage & our baby. I am sure that it is our very strong relationship that helps us get through the difficult times.

As of 2/9/06..(subject to change)..I plan to just go to the courts this August to get married that way we can be sure to have a honeymoon wherever we like. \n1. We are 22 & 24 years old. I am a senior in college and he was a victim of Katrinia so we don't have a lot of money to spend.\n2. Also our families are 12 hours away from each other so which ever state we would choose to wed one of our families presence will be limited.\nSo we have decided to have a reception or party after we are married in each state for our family.\n\nHe actually was the one who wanted a big wedding but it didn't matter to me. I rather prepare for our future then to go in to debt because of one day. Some of my family and friends will be upset once they hear this news but unless they are paying for most of it this is how its gonna be. Besides, I have enough student loans!!

It depends.  I've been called 3 times in the past year.  The first time I asked for it to be postponed because I was planning my wedding.  The second time (the time I requested to be called) I never called, and my number was actually picked the first day so they called me and asked me why I wasn't there.  I told them I never received the letter, so I wasn't aware of the date & she asked me if I could come in the next day or if I required it to be postponed again.  I asked for it to be postponed and I received my jury summons last month and had to start calling sunday evening, and luckily my number was never called!  I guess if you evade long enough they will be a little more stern, but for the most part they were really nice to me & I'm glad I waited because I had a really high juror number this time!  Good Luck.

No.  This is the day you MUST look your best.  You need to have a trial with each one and see which one you like best.  I would do this about a month before the wedding.  That way, the one you cancel will have time to fill the space.

Depends on what you want really!\nI am planning mine at the moment, so we can learn together! I am having it at a register office. I had to call to book an appointment with the superintendant registrar. They asked me when I wanted to get married and booked it over the phone! Next week we have to take our passports and proof of address to the register office to prove we haven't been married before.\nWe are having the reception at a local pub owned by a friend, and the flowers I am doing. I am buying silk flowers I can keep forever. My friends are making food so we can have a big huge buffet!\nGood luck with your wedding, get in touch with your wedding date if you need any more help!!

We sent our A list 3 months before and told them they have to rsvp a month later.  Then after a month and a few days (because some forgot they needed to rsvp on time), we sent out our B list.  So far it went well and everyone is coming and not canceling at the last second.  Also all the seats we wanted filled are filled.\n\nAlso I've gotten save the date from other people who wanted to pre-announce.  They sent those out to us 6 months to 9 months ahead and then later sent us the actual invite.\n\nIf you do not want people to go make sure to tell them its a small intimate wedding, and I would keep it to family and really close friends only.  If your not sticking to that then its advised to throw a wedding where it is hard for everyone to go, such as another state, island, 200miles away, etc and still invite everyone.

We'd both been married before and definitely didn't want to have a big wedding.  We decided to go to New Orleans and leave everyone else behind.  My grown kids were kinda upset, but this wedding was for us.\n\nWe got married in a chapel a block from Bourbon Street and spent our honeymoon there for the next 3 days.  It was wonderful.  If I had it to do all over again, I'd do the same thing.  Not much expense and no headaches.  Wedding and honeymoon all in the same place.\n\nThis was 3 and half years ago, before the hurricane by the way.  I wanted a memorable wedding and it was.

My dear, if you are having second thoughts then DON'T GET MARRIED!! You don't have to call off the engagement but postpone the wedding. I was married the first time at 25, it lasted 5 years and ended painfully. I am now 32, remarried with a son. I am more mature, responsible, and ready for the committment. It is a life altering change and the "fun" you feel when getting engaged and having a big wedding, etc goes away once reality hits and bills start coming, kids, real life!! Marriage is a wonderful thing...when you are ready for it! Good Luck!!

Okay. You never have enough time for anything that dayand feel so stressed and rushed. I recently got married and was 20 minutes late for my hair appointment which made me 20 minutes late for my own wedding. So first advice, plan plenty of time between your hair/makeup/dressing and the time you need to be at the chapel. plan for any snafus and traffic. make sure everyone has directions to the chapel(another thing that made me late). Bring a "fix-it" kit with you. Include white chalk which can cover up any stains like makeup,pack a  sewing kit, tissues,deodorant,perfume, and I would pack some mints. Maybe some extra batteries if your family will be taking pics. And most importantly remember to eat something that day. I know its supposed to be bad luck to see your fiance before the wedding but my whole family and my now-husband went out to a huge lunch before the wedding and it really calmed my nerves to see him before all the hustling began with my hair and makeup appointments. Have fun! Its the best day of your life and no matter what goes wrong \n(and something will go wrong) when you look back it will be perfect. I promise.

Are you officially married?  Do you love the person your with? Were your guests your close friends and family?  If yes, then most likely, the guests were just happy to be there to share such a joyous event.  What the event looked like, or actually cost, or what the service was like, means nothing compared to the joy, happiness, friendship, and company that's shared on a wedding day.  If you still feel upset about the reception, invite some of your closest friends/relatives, and throw a backyard bbq or small dinner.  That way, you can share some special time with the people you care about without having to worry about everything working out perfectly.\n\nCongratulations! Best of luck with your new marriage!

I got hitched for 25 bucks in Alamogordo NM.  This was back in 2002.  I really never regret it because my husband and I were 21yrs old pregnant and poor.  Next year we are celebrating our 5 years.  We are going to renew our vows and going all out with our ceremony.  We are much more financially able, and I never regret eloping.  Good Luck on your decision.

Well I think any date you pick is going to be crowded you have plenty of time to plan if you start now so it shouldn't be a problem. I tried very hard to work around people/dates when I got married, You know birthdays anniversary's other weddings funerals etc... I found it is almost impossible especially if you have a big wedding in a good weather season. I would say try not to worry about it but do get started if you want the best!
