    First take a deep breath!  :)  
    Second, congratulations, on both your upcoming wedding and the pregnancy!

    Life doesn't always go the way we planned, but I totally think you can make the best out of the situation, and still have your wedding in July!  Sure it will mean changing a couple of things, but if you have been trying to get pregnant then sounds like you just need to go get a dress that will work and rock the 6-month belly.  It might surprise and upset a few folks, but in the long run, they will likely get over it.  

    But go to the doctor, get checked out, and have a good talk with your FI and figure out what you both want to do.  Your wedding is just one day (as much of a big deal as we make of it around here).  Weigh all your choices and make the one that is going to be best for your family (you, FI, and future children) for the long term.

    Good luck --- you'll be fine!

    I second PP--CONGRATS!! False positives are very, very rare, so I wish you a healthy and happy nine months.

    First of all, nobody will dare be upset at you for being pregnant after being with your FI for ten years. If you were sixteen and had been with someone for 10 weeks or 10 months, it might be a different story. But you are a woman--a beautiful, happy woman--and this is such a wonderful time for you and your FI.

    Weddings don't go perfectly anyway. Its always something. I am glad for you that your "not perfect" is a joyful thing like a baby. You will look stunning, absolutely stunning in a wedding dress on that day. You'll find something you like and have a good excuse to wear comfy shoes.

    No worries :-) Congrats again!
