and just got some bad news

so one of my really good friends just told me they can't come to the wedding... they live in NC (FH proposed there while we were visiting them, they helped set up the proposal and everything) I had asked her to be a BM, she said yes, but then once their son was born she stepped out.

well their son might need surgery (not sure yet) and basically this is how it would work:

doctors appointment on a thursday.. if yes to surgery he goes for blood work on friday.. recheck monday.. surgery wednesday.

um.. my wedding being the saturday after blood work.
so they won't know until thursday, they can't book a flight and stuff for friday afternoon then leave sunday.. its just too much for them, plus the surgery is expensive.

I just really wanted them there, but I totally understand. I mean its their son... its surgery, its not like they can't come because the car needs an inspection. it just really hurts (esp because my mother is going to pull the whole 'i told you so' bullshiit when she finds out)


WHY can't anything with this wedding be easy or go right!?

eta- the baby is fine, as much as i want to say the surgery is no big deal... i can't. like its a minor surgery, lets just say that. his parents are fine with the idea of surgery, they want it sooner rather than later so the problem will be fixed before he can remember anything. but thanks for your thoughts.... we're kinda praying that there's a cancellation so his surgery will be earlier and they'll be able to make it up here. (her words, not mine.. I just want him to be okay)

Hope her son is alright, first and foremost.

Sorry this happend, it sounds like you are taking it as good as expected and if your mom says 'told you so' say 'so you knew the baby was going to need surgery, what are you a psychic?'

I can't imagine the stress the parents have waiting for their baby to have surgery..ugh. I will keep good thoughts for a speedy recovery... It is obvious they are good friends to help in the proposal... So after the honeymoon and settling in stage and the baby is better, you guys can get together and show video and pics and enjoy the memories together..

i hope the baby is ok and doesn't need this surgery ...

just take it one step at a time ... if they can't make your wedding, you can always plan to meet them and do a post-wedding celebration somewhere. like you said, they don't want to back out, but it's their son ... and his health is more important than your wedding



and for their son!
