cancelled wedding

Original post by Brielle

I have been on this bored for awhile now, but have been more of a reader than a poster. You all always have great advice and I am hoping someone has some for me right now. My June 7, 2003 wedding has been called off tonight. I have so many things going through my mind right now I don't know where to begin. I did a search and found the proper way to notify everyone, but I am not sure what I do with the gifts I recieved at my Bridal shower. I assume I give them back...but how? It's so humilating.

I'm sorry that one of my few posts had to be such a depressing one...but I don't even know where to begin right now.

Thanks so much, any advice is appreciated.

I'm so sorry to hear it. Take good care of you and don't worry about anything else right now. You have time to take care of the other details.

I'm very sorry for the turn of events in your life, especially since the wedding was so close but I've been where you are and as bad as things are right now, they will get better in time.

My thoughts are with you

Re: cancelled wedding

I can't begin to imagine how you feel right now.

Give yourself some time and allow your family to help you with the gift situation. I agree with the others who stated that famliy and friends will be thinking of you more than the gifts. Take care of yourself for now.

Re: cancelled wedding

I'm so sorry about your troubles...but it is probably for the best...its a difficult decision to make...i cannot believe that you did it in haste...

write the notes like richsbride suggested...and give the gifts from exFI's side to him or his mom to deal with...if its amicable...

good luck...what a tough situation you are going through

Re: cancelled wedding

I'm so sorry to hear this! But if it's for the right reason you are very brave to make this decision. It's got to be very tough to make a decision like that. Good luck and we are here for you.

Kaylasparents. so sorry to hear about you too.

Re: cancelled wedding

to kayla'sparents and brielle.
i am so sorry to hear about each of you. you always think everyone is going to live happily ever after. But you did the right thing, i know, i got married and regretted it six months later. it took me six years to get out, i always wished i had had the foresight to call it off. Good luck to both of you, things will be better in the long run.
and

Hugs to you sweetie that's all I can offer right now. After all is calm you can concern yourself with the gifts but for right now take care of yourself.
