I have been planning my wedding for 6 months now and the wedding is october 2011, i recently lost my dad on nov 5 and now I have no desire to pull out any of my wedding stuff and i can't even make desicions. I never thought I would be walking down the aisle without my dad. Does anyone have any suggestions on how I can move on and get excited about my wedding again. I know he wouldn't want me to feel like this but that doesn't seem to be helping me. thank you girls didn't quite know where to post this.

    I'm very sorry for your loss. 

    You do need to give yourself time to grieve and heal from such a loss.   I would definitely put the wedding aside.  Have you thought about grief counseling?  It could help you tremendously.

    Thankfully, in your situation time IS on your side.  Weddings really don't take that long to plan. 

    Take care of yourself and everything else will resolve itself.

    First, I'm really sorry for your loss.

    Second, from your post it sounds like you need time to grieve.  If I felt the way you do, I would take some time off from wedding planning.  I don't think trying to force it will work.  It usually doesn't.  You can always return to the planning when you're ready.

    I'm sorry for your loss.  Grieve.  It's a natural process that you need to go through.  If you think a counselor will help seek one out.

    I would set the wedding stuff aside - you have the time - and just process the loss of your father. I am sorry for your loss and agree with the others. Take the time to mourn his loss and grieve properly.

    In time you will begin to get excited about your wedding again. Don't rush it.
