Hi Everyone,
I need help. I recently was engaged on Christmas Eve, with plans to get married in Nov 2024. One reason we wanted to do it in that time frame was because my dad had pancreatic cancer and was in remission and we wanted him there. Fast forward to January 2nd and he was hospitalized and later that week diagnosed with malignant pleural effusion, and given a life expectancy of June 2024.
I have no idea how to continue planning, do we stop everything and plan a family only wedding with hope he feels up to it? Do I continue planning for November 2024 knowing he likely won't be there? Do I stop planning all together? I feel selfish even thinking of a wedding without him, but I don't want to pressure him or make him a spectacle when he is in so much pain. Any advice is welcome.
