Hi Girls....!

Well a few weeks ago I had to say good-bye for a little so I could work on my relationship....well after trying all that I could- Daniel made the decision this was not what he wanted anymore and broke off the engagement. This is the most difficult thing I have had to face- we were together for 7 years and I didn't know this was going to happen.

I have missed you guys so much in the past 2 weeks but will have to get past that being that I am no longer a future bride.

Thank you for all of your support you all gave me in the past- I wish you all the best in your upcoming weddings.

It's my time to go....

-Danielle

I am soooo soooo sorry.

Everything happens for a reason, it must have not been meant to be!

Be strong! Something better will come along soon.

I am SO sorry you are going through this but I feel the need to tell you a story about one of my friends because it's almost like a story to lift you up and help you heal. A girlfriend of mine was with the same guy for almost 10 years! They FINALLY got engaged last March 2008. We were all excited because she was the first one of us to get engaged! She started planning right away for October 2009 and a little while into the relationship (August 2008) after most of the things were booked and deposits were put down she found out he was cheating on her. I mean cheating is never ok but he was having a full on relationship with someone else (flowers, dinners, lunches, late night talks for hours, etc). My friend became crushed! A week after she found out she FINALLY spoke to him. She agreed to go to therapy with him to try and work through their problems. Late in September my girlfriend got a phone call that she never thought would happen! Her fiance was walking down the street (my girlfriends friend saw him) WITH THE OTHER WOMAN! He swore up and down for over a month that he wasn't talking to her or seeing her since all of this happened and he wanted everything to be better but here he was walking down the street, holding hands with this girl! FINALLY my friend made the decision to call off the wedding a year to the day (October 2, 2008) of their wedding date.

Anyway, she was distroyed! She was depressed. She wouldn't eat or sleep. FINALLY we all decided that this wasn't healthy and we started taking her out. Well one of her friends decided she had the perfect guy for her, so in late November she went on a blind date and on the 2nd date they both knew it was too good to be true! My old friend came back twice over! She had a glow and a bounce in her step. At the end of May she got engaged to this new guy and she coudn't be happier.

It might not be what you want to hear right now but it's something to help you realize that no matter what, everything happens for a reason and you don't have to get off the board because it's not your time yet. You are eventually be a bride and it will be magical. I see no reason for you to leave just yet. We're all here to help you through this!
