Do it! What the heck. If everyone is happy, then so be it. It's a time to celebrate love, and babies are all about love- so keep your plans, get an adjustable dress, and party like there's no tomorrow!!
Congrats!
First of all congratulations! That is very exciting news.
Secondly, it's really something that depends on your personal family situation and what type of wedding you're planning. Personally, I would go through with it. But I'm having a pretty casual beach wedding, which would be easy to adjust to accomodate a pregnant bride. I guess some other weddings would be more difficult to alter. Either way, I'm sure your family and friends will be doubly thrilled for you.
Celebrate!!!!!!!!! Hopefully your pregnancy will go smoothly and you will feel up to partying at 6 months! I'm sure you will, just think positively! I think it will be so lovely that you have more than one milestone to honor at the party. :)
Congratulations!!!!!
Depends on you and your family. If it were me, I'd have to at *least* go to the courthouse right away, to keep it from being a huge scandal. My family's Southern Baptist and would freak out. My parents would also probably pull funding for the wedding. They would consider wedding pictures with me obviously pregnant horrifying. Obviously, your parents don't agree. If the rest of ya'll's families are the same, and won't be scandalized and make you feel really crappy about it, go for it! Totally agree with Alissa07, it's all about love!
Congrats! Wow, what a surprise! ^_^
If it were me, I'd go ahead with it. I would be too excited to put off getting married. One slightly unexpected little guest wouldn't put me off. ^_^
I know some people would feel uncomfortable, though, being visibly pregnant at their wedding, so of course I can't really judge from that point of view. It's great that your parents are supportive, which is always important with slightly touchy subjects like this.
You can still fly at 6 months, right? So you could still go on a nice relaxing pre-baby honeymoon, right?
Well, congrats again, no matter what you decide. ^_^
Have your wedding! Clearly, this was unexpected and a miracle for you! What's one more thing to celebrate?!
Congrats!
Congratulations! This is time for celebration! Get a dress that you will glow in and celebrate with your friends and families! If someone doesn't like it, they are free to stay home.
Congratulations! I say go ahead with the wedding! I certainly would if I was in the same situation!
Congratulations!
Although it sounds like your doctors didn't have it right in the first place, you may want to check with them to make sure that excitement/stress won't be a problem and that your pregnancy won't be high risk, due to whatever problems you were having before or may have in the future
If they OK it, go for it!!! I had a friend who got married recently at 8 months pregnant, and her pics and celebration were beautiful and all the more poignant because of the upcoming birth!
Definitely go for it. Sounds like everyone is on board! I have some beautiful pictures of pregnant brides that I will link to later!

DOO IT! My sis was 6 months preggers at her wedding and she looked adorable and they incorporated the baby in the photos and in their wedding vows. It was so nice and spe!cial!
I would definitely say go for it!! I know a girl who was in the exact same situation! She actually changed her date to earlier because her wedding was for after the birth of the baby ... but either way, if you and yoru family are happy and comfortable with it, do it!
*My friend had already sent her save the dates, so she sent her invitations a bit early with an extra card explaining why the change of date ... the card read something like "Life if full of unexpected bumps in the road that lead you in the right direction" ... and had an outline of a pregnant woman, it was so cute! Most, if not all, of the guests already knew she was pregnant and had changed the date but it was such a cute way to communicate/commemorate both the wedding and the birth of their baby!
Also, congratulations on your miracle!
Congratulations - Doctors told my mom the same thing and yet here I am and my brother too!
I saw this on a wedding show, the bride and groom had been trying to have a baby due to health resons prior to the wedding - fortunately she got pregnant! They were very unsure of how to let everyone know and she was skeptical about being a pregnant bride in a big white dress - This is what they ended up doing ... no one but their parents knew about the pregnancy, she chose a very flattering wedding dress to accomodate and camouflage her growing belly. At the recetion they placed an envelope under each guests plate and the bride ands groom thanked everyone for coming and asked them all to open their envelopes at the same time - inside was a sonogram picture of the baby! What a great suprise!
Definitely an interesting way to go!
I say go forward with your wedding, the baby is just one more reason to celebrate!
Hey congrats!! I say do it as planned, if you and your families are supportive. Its a great miracle, so fabulous to celebrate with everyone. Its not going to be a secret you got pregnant before you got married anyways, so go for it.
Congrats!
If you want to continue to keep your date- I say do it! I bet both of your families would LOVE to celebrate both your wedding, and your upcoming child with you. Depending on what you are doing, I bet it could work.
If you don't want photos of you being preggers, why not wear the dress I assume you've already bought, rent your future hubby a tux and have pictures taken of the two of you now. That way, you'll have two sets of photos- one now, and one when you're glowing and almost a mommy!! :)
Congrats!! I would definitely do it anyway, there is no better time for a celebration than the coming together of the two of you as well as the expansion of your new family!!
Oh and photographs -- you'd be amazed at what a nice bouquet can cover :) :) and what a good photographer can do! If you dont want to see your baby belly - you won't! :)
Good luck, let us know how things go!
I say go ahead with your wedding plans! What a wonderful miracle!!!
Congratulations!!!!
Congratulations! It sounds like this baby is a little miracle and its wonderful that your parents are supportive!
I think that you should still have your wedding if you are comfortable doing so. I recently attended a wedding where they announced their engagement in June and got married 2 months later. She was 4 months pregnant at the wedding and most of the guests knew. It was clear that they got engaged AFTER they found out they were pregnant, but no one saw it that they loved each other any less. They just wanted to get married before the baby was born, and they want to have a nice *regular* wedding. In your case, you were already planning your wedding when you got pregnant... :)
Perhaps is there any way to bump up your wedding 2 months? Vendors might let you do that without losing any money or paying any penalties, if they are all available on your new date. You might just feel more comfortable at 4 months than you would at 6 months.
Let us know what you decide to do! CONGRATULATIONS AGAIN!!!!

A woman will never be as beautiful as she was when she was pregnant, so take advantage of this little miracle and have an extra special story to share later on. Just please, please, please, please let other people worry about the wedding plans- don't get too stressed out. The baby is the most important thing right now.
There are really cute dresses for pregant women too- show off that body!
congrats congrats congrats!
don't let a pregnancy stop you from your wedding! BUT, if you feel like it's too much to handle with the pregnancy, work, planning a wedding, etc, then don't. you should enjoy your wedding!
we personally waited (and are still waiting, august 21, 2009!) because of my pregnancy, and work, and we were planning a big move across country. it was a huge scandal, being my father is a traditional chinese father, and we are all Christians- and a child out of wedlock was huge drama. but we wanted it to still be special and the event we had dreamed about. we also wanted to save some money too.
so so with whatever YOU think. whatever YOU feel comfortable with- considering in your family, beliefs, and circumstances- but it ultimately being you and your fiancee's decision.
congrats on the news!!! it's the best thing in the world- being a mom. i love it!

If it's not going to bother you, than go ahead and do it. If you're worried about offending family members or friends; they will know the baby was conceived before the wedding anyway, so why not celebrate it!? 
Go ahead and celebrate! You're lucky - you'll have TWO things to celebrate that day. GO FOR IT!! There's absolutely no reason to postpone a wedding and lose deposits because of it - embrace it
Oh, & CONGRATS!
Congratulations! What an exciting time for you and your FI! I would go for it! What touching photos you will have to share with your baby in the future!

Oh my gosh, congratulations!!!! Definitely, definitely go ahead with it!!!! :)
Congratulations! And I'll second everyone else and say go for it!
I think it would be really beautiful. Just think of how loved your child will feel when you tell him/her about the ways you incorporated them into the ceremony!
Here is a link to some great pregnant bride pictures. It's midway down the page under Yevett and Dave. The last picture in their series is gorgeous!!! (Though they all are in my opinion).
Congrats. That is a lot of excitement. If everything is going well, go for it. there are a lot of beautiful dresses. When I was pregnant at six months, the first time, I was barely showing. Good luck.
CONGRATS!!! I'm going to have to say go for it! You'll be glowing and most of the yucky stuff settles down after the 3rd month so you'll be feeling good too. Apparently this little baby was meant to be - so have fun, enjoy your day and all the hard work you've put into it. Plus after the wedding you can focus all yor attention on your family. :) What a wonderful miracle!
Also - on a side note: Buy the book "A Girlfriend's Guide to Pregnancy" by Vicki Iovine. It saved my life

That's fantasitc!! Congratualtions! It must be great to have so many things to celebrate!
Honestly, I'd say go for it! If you check with doctor and he gives you the go ahead, then why not! What a great thing to celebrate!
If the only reason you're debating is because of tradition/finding a dress, don't worry about it! Many women get married pregnant these days, and its not even a big deal.
And ,really, I've been reading plenty of wedding books and I've learned that pregnant weddings are uncommon, and they do make wedding dresses for it too.
Congratulations again!
I say go with it! If everyone is happy then be happy and celebrate two milestones in your life! you might even get some really great pics like Mrs. Dumpling!
What'd you decide to go with? It's so great that you got pregnant and you weren't even *supposed* to be. What a cause for a celebration! Everyone's ok with it, so just roll with it! I'd make a cute little note about it though in our programs or something on the back page. You can't really hide 6 months of a belly as wlel as a 4 month bump

Create the honeymoon of your dreams.
My doctors were wrong. I've been told my no fewer than 4 ob/gyns that I will probably never have children. I've even had exploratory surgery and a laproscopy in the process, and they all stand by their word.
Well, we're pregnant.
The wedding is about 4 months away, and we are about 2 months pregnant (our parents know and seem to be thrilled, we're 28 and 29).
So, what do we do? Lose the deposits and postpone the wedding? Or just go ahead with it and celebrate with our family and friends?
We have over 100 people anticipating and planning on attending in June, so...
I just don't know what to do and look forward to your advice, ladies!
Thanks! Jessa Belle
