but I've been lurking I promise!
Congrats to the newly engaged ladies! Try not to let the planning process drive you too crazy
I've been MIA for a few reasons- my new job has been keeping me super busy, wedding planning is getting hectic and most importantly my father has been ill. He was diagnosed with throat cancer the week of Thanksgiving, and 2 weeks ago we found out it has spread to his liver, so his prognosis isn't great. He just started chemo last Thursday, and we're all hopeful that it goes well. With good results in treatment the Dr's think they can get him about 6-12 months. Its scary to think that he might only have a year left, but as I'm learning so many people are able to far out live what the Dr's initially think, so we are all trying to remain hopeful.
My FI and I have come up with a back up plan for the wedding. I'm doing all my dress fittings now, he's getting a snazzy new suit, we're ordering our rings, notified our photographer and our friend who is going to do the ceremony is at the ready, so if we have to push up the ceremony we will. It will be a smaller affair, just family and our very close friends with a lunch or a nice dinner after, then in Sept we will have a reception. No redo, no vow renewal, no PPD, just a party. But we're all praying that we won't need Plan B.
So if you have any vibes/prayers/good thoughts to spare for my Dad, and for Plan B not being needed I would appreciate them!!!
And I promise to try to be around more
