Stacey Becker was set to marry her best friend. They'd been together for a long time and everything was booked for the wedding. Months from the wedding, they discovered they were no longer on the same page about being married.
They called it off.
What if it happens to you?
You need people to rally around you, especially if you're the one who is heartbroken. Enlist these folks to help inform people the wedding is off. Your emotions are too raw to deal with responses from invited guests. You might not feel like recounting the tale of being dumped just yet.
Dealing with the vendors is tough. Review your contracts. It may be easier to get out of a contract with a larger company that will have an easier time filling the date. Pay attention to the cancellation dates and fees.
Keep in mind that this isn't the end of your personal love story. Stay busy. Keep on a schedule. Exercise and eat. Put yourself out there, because you may just meet someone who is ready to share life with you.
Listen in as Stacey shares her story, as well as tips on moving forward after the cancellation.
