POLL: What would you do?

schayer · November 13, 2010

If I put myself in your shoes and would have to make that type of decision.(tough one!) I would probably go ahead with the wedding as planned. We all know that when you do a destination wedding, not everyone can attend and sometimes that's one of the reason we are doing it. You were probably already expecting that a person very important to you won't be able to attend.

As someone else said, You are (and your fiance) the only one who can make this decision. But if you ask for advice, I'd say: Go for it, get married abroad and get the wedding you always dreamed of!

Hope this help, best wishes to your dad and congratulations!

He said medically there is no reason he can't travel and in fact had even recommended my Dad go to the Dominican!!!

Woohoo! Looks like it all worked out in the end! My mom is now calling around to get quotes (travel insurance will still be high, but they will pay whatever they have to). She has an issue with my Travel Agent, but I'm trying to talk her into using the same one so that they'll be part of the group and hopefully they're room will be in the same area and not on the other side of the hotel. They are doing some number crunching and deciding if they will come down for 4 days (thurs-sun) or the full week with everyone else!
