Farewell Ladies

I am no longer having my renewal of vows ceremony or any type of celebration. No more planning or buying wedding magazines or wedding related chat boards.There is just so much that my DH and I have to deal with first. It's not us we have to deal with, it is everyone else. I set my date far in advance and it seems that his step sister liked the date too so she chose the same date. And my SIL is the maid of honor, so there is no way we are competing with family members. His whole family will be there and it is just pointless to have a ceremony anyways. We both realize that this is the best decision for us and it will save us a lot of money. We're married already and that is all that counts.

I just wanted to say thanks for the great discussions and advice and just the company of other women who are experiencing this wonderful event. I wish you all the best in the planning of your weddings!

Good Luck!

Oh, I'm so sorry to hear that! But I do agree too that the marriage is the most important part, and you have the most important priorities straight. I say take a bit of the money you were planning to spend on the ceremony & reception and take a honeymoon/trip with your husband. You could even renew your vows with each other wherever you go. And don't feel like you need to leave us just because you're not still planning!!

Sok,
Bummer, I enjoy reading your posts. But, hey you do have your priorities straight. I agree with Cara M, go ahead and take a little trip with your husband (don't tell anyone about it) but renew your vows in private. How romantic! And you won't have to worry about the limelight being stolen away, or stepping on anyone else's toes. But keep posting, you have great ideas!

Sok,
I am so sorry that he have to cancel your plans that you were so excited about. The worst part about it was that it was because the step sister did that. That was really cruel in my opinion and I hope that you will plan a special event for you and your hubby again. Take care and the best of luck to you.

Sok,

I am so sorry to hear about your decision. It seemed like the celebration meant a lot to you. How sad that someone in your own family took your day.

You are right that your marriage is the most important thing. You should at the very least take some time to celebrate the two of you. Take the money and go on a great vacation, renew your vows.

Good luck and don't be a stranger to this board.
