African American Weddings

Updates

Hey sisters
Wedding is off. I'm in md as of an hour ago. A friend of mine drive me down, she was up for the wedding. She came anyway to support me. We got in now and I'll see fi in the am. I miss him so much. I just want to be there for him.

As far as the venue. They gave 100 credit. So did photag. The venue has an opening Saturday and we may just do it then. Else, we'll just say our vows anywhere and do ceremony later not what I want but special circumstances.

We are both so impatient to become husband and wife. We've grown so much through this. I know he's my husband and he calls me his wife. I've never felt as connected to him or anyone else. Funny how that is. All the glitz was ripped and we are left just wanting each other. I love him so much. I feel so blessed

  • Mere I really am sad to hear this but it sounds like you are taking it well. Your vendors are awesome for giving you a credit. I really hope you get to have your dream wedding? So did something worse happen with FMIL or FI just decided he didn't want to leave her?

    Wedding Countdown Ticker Simply Fabulous!
  • It seems as if you both have found peace with all of this.  That peace is what you both need now.  I know this is hard to deal with but there is a reason for it and God will reveal it soon.  Love conquers all and that is all that matters.  Prayers for your FH's mother and for the both of you. 



    Love is the ultimate superpower.   
    It can make you weak and strong simultaneously.

  • Sorry your day what go as expected, but this is just a test to show you how strong your love is for one another that no matter what you guys are going through you will be there for each other. Your day will come, may not be in the form that you expected, but its was for the best. All prayers are with the fam going through this difficult time and the strength for his mother.
  • Meredith,
     
    I admire you! You clearly exhibit what it means to have JOY despite unhappy circumstances. I will be in prayer for you, FI and FMIL. At the very least I'm sure that nothing can break your future marriage, because you and FI understand what marriage is truly about: loving another person wholeheartedly. It is a ministry, not to the self, but to the other. Thanks for being a model WIFE already. May God's best be yours! ::HUGS::
