Hello there... please be considerate, as this is a very difficult time for us. Long story short, FI and I have a wedding date set for June 18th, 2011. The bridal shower is this Saturday. While I've been having doubts for a while, things escalated this weekend, and as heartbroken as I am, I can't see going through with this. I feel horrible and I just don't know how to go about everything... I feel like I am letting everyone down, and they are all trying to convince me to stay. First of all, how do you know when you are making the right decision? I feel like a huge weight has been lifted off of me, but I also feel scared for a future without him (we've been together 6 years.) I feel like I love him and he is my best friend, but I am not in love anymore. There are also some other issues with control and alcohol going on that we have been trying to address for years, with only mild success.
Practically, what logistics need to be taken care of? How do we go about cancelling the bridal shower, and whose responsibility is that? Also, we have sent out save the dates, but not the actual invites, so do we need to send cancellation notices? What about the purchases already made by the bridal party?
Any advice you can give me would be greatly appreciated.
