Deadly swine flu virus in Mexico

Very well said Alyssa! I like that way of looking at things!

WOW Paul!!! Its so great to hear the vendors doing what they can to make this the best wedding ever for the brides who are sticking it out!

Thanks Alyssa for the input. Yael I'm soooo sorry to hear what you are going through, but there is definitely a light at the end of the tunnel. There are several girls who have had to go through last minute rebookings and there stories are on here and soon you will be one of those amazing brides who pulls off a FABULOUS wedding in such a short time.

I feel for you girls so much...These pregnancy hormones can't handle reading this thread anymore! I'm trying to stay calm, my wedding is still quite a ways away.. Still feel so sad for all of you who have had to cancel and be put under the pressure to plan something somewhere else in so little time!

I'm sure this will die down come December, but I just ordered my invitations last week and planned to send them out right away, now I want to wait. I'm having second thoughts about even sending them out, and maybe just having a wedding at home We are expecting a baby in six weeks, and I'm not sure I'm comfortable inviting people with the chance that this is still crazy like this and have them possibly lose that money. I'm also concerned about taking a six month old..if it's still a concern I won't want to be going because I can't leave my baby at home with anyone cause anyone I trust to leave a baby that young would be coming with us...I'm torn on if I should just change my plans now and save myself the last minute stress My FI is telling me I should wait and see...My TA recommended we wait to send out the invites for sure otherwise lots of people will say no for sure right now...

Summer - No reason to cause yourself extra stress with a baby on the way. December is a long way away. I guarantee your TA wants the business...just wait and see. That's what we're doing and we're supposed to be leaving on Wednesday! I'm sure it will all blow over in the next few weeks...it will be fine if your invitations go out then.

By the way, I've been trying to stay strong throughout this whole fiasco. So far we've only lost one couple and a toddler out of 56 guests. Everyone else is waiting until Sunday to make a final decision on canceling. I just got an email from a friend of a friend that is at the Royal now. She is freaking out since Canada implemented their travel ban. Apparently they are sending flights to pick everyone up and if they're not out by May 4th they may be stuck in Mexico until June. What if the US does this? I'm not necessarily worried about catching the SF, but I am worried about being quarantined in Mexico. I hope the US would do the same thing and give us a few days to get out. I mean, they have news in Mexico so we can stay updated. Any thoughts?

oh yael, i'm just so very sorry! this is heartbreaking news.

i have no doubt that you will be a beautiful bride and have a fabulous wedding, no matter when or where it may happen. most importantly, your relationship and your marriage will be stronger for having been through this together.
