Recently my mom was hospitalized and we found out FI's aunt breast cancer has not only came back but more aggressively. We figured since we don't know what the future holds and life is too short that we will wed on New Year's Eve (2 months!!). Of course we have deposits that were non-refundable but in the grand scheme of things wasn't a lot and we can deal with the loss. FI's uncle has graciously agreed to marry us in his church located in FI's hometown and we found a great restaurant for our reception. We were able to add a few more people but are still keeping it small with 40 guests (max. for private room at restaurant). Everything is coming together great and I'm so excited! I may hang out here on the May board because I ventured to Dec's and it's pretty much dead LoL
