I am writing this post with the hopes that it won't come to pass...
Our wedding is just a little over two months away. All the vendors are lined up, everything paid, and ready to go. My fiancé and I discovered that there is a slim (VERY slim) chance we may not be able to get our marriage license in time for the wedding, as his divorce is taking longer than we had hoped.
It's that small chance of it not being okay that has me worried. If worse came to worse, this is what we were thinking:
1. Get all dressed up since I have my dress and he has his suit.
2. The bridesmaids can wear those dresses.
3. Call the guests ahead of time and truthfully explain what has happened. Tell them that the invitations they received were for a wedding that was unfortunately postponed, but that the reception will go on as planned.
4. Cut the cake, etc, and give the speeches with wording altered for the situation.
Like I said, there is a bit of leeway here as far as the time we need, but I'm a worrywart and I need a Plan B. Is this a breach of etiquette????

Especially if the soon-to-be ex knows about it. Planning a wedding before a divorce is finalized screams "Please take all of my money/assets in our divorce"
"Love is the one thing we're capable of perceiving that transcends time and space."
I also don't understand why there was such a huge rush to plan a wedding when there had been no rush to get divorced. Sounds like your BF (I won't call him your FI) and his wife are both SUPER lazy. How did that never bother you?
Why didn't you have a problem dating a married man? I can see if he was in the divorce process, but staying married to another woman out of laziness? And if he thinks being married to someone is not a big deal, why would he want to get married again?
