Weddingbee boards

My wedding was in June, and now it has been changed to September 1. My fiance's job is striking close to the time of the wedding, and all vacations are cancelled, otherwise termination can be a risk. He isn't striking, but because some of the affiliates of his company are striking, he works longer hours and more days of the week. It could possible go until the wedding, or it may not. My fiance' says that the strikes have gone between 2 weeks and 2 months. I rather change it now before anyone pays money that can't be refunded or re-appropriated.

I was able to change my date with wedding and reception venue without being negatively affected, but I am still so sad. In my head my anniversary has been in June. I have told many people, but not everyone. I am going to make the rest of the calls today. So far everyone has been supportive, and no one has done anything irreversible. A couple of people had to change their vacations. I am so sad, and I hope everyone understands. These calls are so hard to make...

Did you already send out the invitations? Im sure people will understand. Its better to play it safe, cause who knows what could happen. I really wanted to have mine in the summer, but with my FI's and my work it wasnt possible, so were having a sept wedding too!! Dont worry about the date, just think about how much fun you'll have!

Thank you everyone. I need all of the support I can get.

@Ashley_B:  I didn't send out the invites, but I did order them. That is a small fortune. I am primarily worried about my guests finances and ability to attend the new wedding date.

I always thought I would be an August bride, but that was two months away from when we got engaged, so it became November...the latest possible date we could do it (DH is Navy).

Thanks everyone. I certainly needed to hear about everyone else's experiences and support. I will definitely take the advise about keeping ourselves busy on our original wedding date.
