I am getting married in Estes Park in November 2023, and our save-the-dates have already gone out to 175+ people. Unfortunately, my dad's health has been declining rapidly over the past couple of months, and after a discussion with my sisters and my fiance, we are looking at having a small ceremony with just our immediate families, and then still having our larger ceremony we have booked in November.
My fiance is ok with this, for the most part - he has never been married, and I am divorced, and he would really like to have our ceremony in November to be when we officially become mr & mrs - I feel that we should make it official at the smaller ceremony since we don't know how long my dad (or even my mom at this point) may have. We are still discussing it, but I'm curious if/how anyone has encountered this and how you settled it.
TIA. JK
