All the work and effort you’ve put in to making this a successful event is being challenged right now during this crazy time. I’m sorry. If all else fails………don’t ever forget you have me for the rest of your life and no matter what happens………we’re going to be together. We’re not the only ones going through this right now. There are thousands more. I’m optimistic things will improve and if they don’t- we’ll come up with a plan B that will be equally as nice. Hang in there. This is completely out of our control and we just have to trust it will work itself out. I love you more because of all of this. You will be my wife regardless and we will make our plans accordingly to go celebrate.

VERY sweet! I think we can all read it and imagine that's what our FIs are thinking (even if they can't word it that well - lol ). Thanks for sharing

ajs, your fiance is the sweetest.

 

jaimelynne, your friend mentioned she could tell you which masks were best ... has she? i'm looking for ones that are not only effective, but that also will photograph well in bright sunlight, LOL! (ok come on, anyone who doesn't take advantage of that photo op is crazy. we will all remember this for the rest of our lives, and the true story of our weddings wouldn't be complete without a nod to the swine flu. i'm actually considering a pig bride and groom cake topper now! LOL)

So just keep in mind if you do go to Mexico still, that your insurance will do absolutely nothing if God forbid someone does get sick. I am not trying to scare people, I just think as much as this may be a hyped up disease, that this is just another thing to keep in mind.

that is ridiculous and is like saying they won't cover you for lung cancer if you smoked despite the warning labels on cigarette packs. i find it hard to believe. could you please post a link to at least one reliable source where you've seen this?

I will try find the link, I was reading about it this morning and just saw it on the news now...let me try look. It is kind of ridiculous, but insurance companies sometimes make stupid decisions. ok I am off to find a link to this

I cant seem to find it right now, there are so many articles about swine flu out that its crazy to try find one about the insurance companies, but I am not making it up, it was on the news and was said by a top health official in Canada.

Oh my laughs Lisa, I love you (whoops, is it too soon). I was thinking of something similar, maybe some nice pics of us all washing our hands together, miming a cough while everyone backs away... so many possibilities.

BTW ~Some countries are being affected differently b/c they have universal health care or a different health care systems.... As we remember that there are many people on here from different countries.
In the US insurance companies can't "choose" to arbitrarily stop covering you for something without notice. If you have out of network coverage you have it unless they expressly tell you that they are removing the coverage from your benefits package. They still cover you when you engage in an illegal activity and get hurt (i.e. a DUI that results in an accident)...

exactly what i was thinking, but cabobride said in canada AND the US. although i can totally see not covering us IN mexico as a possibility. i guess i should look into that with my provider.

glad i could provide a few laughs. i was really strong until today (i guess because i didn't think there was any way i'd be effected with my wedding still a whole month away), but i kinda unraveled today and needed to laugh badly.
