    Hey Bees!

    As some of you know FI lost his job about a month ago and was sanctioned by his union which prevents him from working for 90 days. Between the financial stresses coming from that, moving and the emotional terrorism of certain family members we've decided to cancel our big May 5 wedding, and elope in style where we got engaged instead (probably in January/February).

    We've received a lot of resistance from FI's side about cancelling, so we tried to figure out how to make it work, but it boiled over last night to the point where I was having stress induced palpatations (the triage nurse on the phone was less than impressed with me for not going to the hospital) and crying to FI uncontrollably about how much I hate the wedding at this point and want it to go away. Thankfully FI and I have agreed to tell everyone we're eloping because it's far too much considering everything going on within both sides of the family (FI's brother killed himself a year ago, his niece died earlier this month, and I'm not speaking to my mother anymore).

    So while I'm happy we're eloping and can have our own fantastic first day of the rest of our lives together, and without all the external pressures- I choked up a little today cancelling our wedding cake. What a bittersweet day Bees- and in the middle of a 12 hour workday no less!

    P.S. Our baker (Bliss Co. Cupcakes in Calgary, AB) is so amazing. She's agreed to give us all our money back against the cake, and has been really accomodating throughout the whole process. If you're looking for an awesome company to work with in Calgary and Area, they're fantastic!

    Sorry to hear that! That is sad. :-( 

    But it sounds like you're ok with your decision, and that is what matters!

    You must be so heartbroken, however it sounds that you made the best decision. If you are getting stress and resistance now, closer to the date it will only get worse. Have your vacation with your hubby to be and have an amazing time together, and for the rest of your lives. The fact that you guys can get through something as hard as a job loss right in the middle of wedding planning pretty much means you guys are gonna be great and get through anything....together. Don't be sad, have a wonderful time together and make sure to snap a couple pics for us bees. No one loves a wedding more than us!!!!!

    Thanks Bees, it's always nice to know that the Hive is there when you need it. Thankfully there's a really good photography package with the elopement, so I'll definitely let you Bees take a peak!

    (((hugs to you))) You have had to deal with a lot. I'm sorry you had to make the decision to elope but It sounds like that's what's best for you right now. Please take care of yourself and get medical attention when needed! ;) sorry that's the mom in me talking.

    Thanks all, it's nice to have support from you guys and my IL's, because my mother is very unsupportive of essentially every choice I make on a daily basis.

    Suxs that you have to cancel, but most people that elope are so happy with the stressfree results. Maybe you can get a little mini-cake from the baker on the day you were suppose to get married. Just because your familiy is being difficult doesn't mean you should miss out on great cake!

    So sorry you've had to deal with all that. I hope you and your fiance have a happy life together, and create your OWN wonderful family someday. Wedding cake will be the least of your concerns then ;-)

    You sound like a case for David Tutera and his show. Ultimately as long as you are married right? It is about you and him anyway and if you cant afford it, you cant start your new life off in debt!
