I'm pretty devastated right now. My fiancé and I learned a few weeks ago that my FIL is very sick. He will have to undergo treatment over the next year or so and his chances of surviving aren't very good. I'm so sad. My fiancé is very close to him and I'm very close to his parents. They live in a rural area very far from us so we're having a hard time figuring out how we'll help during his treatments. I may go spend a month or so at the end of the semester to help his mom. My fiancé will also try to get compassionate leave for a month or so (he's in the military). Beyond that, I don't know how we can help and spend as much as as we can with them. I'm sorry for writing this, it really has nothing to do with weddings, but I'm pretty devastated right now.
As for wedding things after the initial shock of everything, I realized that this may really affect our wedding plans. We're supposed to get married in one year in our city. I don't know if he,ll be well enough to travel, I don't know if his condition will take a turn for the worst between now and then, in which case it would be completely inappropriate to have a wedding (we wouldn't be in the frame of mind at all to celebrate). What do we do? Do we stop planning the wedding and just wait? That seems like the right thing to do.
