I'm Justine, 22, getting married in less then two months!!! oct 28, 2011, FIs contract just ended ( 5 years Army), so now we are taking the next step. He is currently working as an independend contractor for homeland security but is considering taking a job with the DOD in Afganastan. I just finished my double major in psych and soc in Pa and now am heading into gradschool in Jan.
I posted that on the lurkers post but thought I would put it here before i ask for advice
So both our families are big Military families and we are getting married in my hometown. Fi is from across the country and ALL of his guest must travel at least 6 hours. Many of the people we invited are unable to make it because they are deployed or stationed to far away. His dad is traveling from Afganastan (he works for DOD) and many of his friends are traveling from upstate NY (Fort Drum). Best man and one of my brides maids are traveling from Germany. But we got some sad news about two months ago that his sister, brother in law and 2 nephiews cant make it. THey are stationed in Guam and where suppose to get plain tickets but it just didnt work out. And is old unit is deployed so many of his close buddies cant come. Is there anything I can do for my FI, and our friends and family that cant come? I just need some advice on how to deal with this? ANd if there is something i can/ should do for my FI and people that cant come? ( I am already paying for the plain ticket for best man in germany)
