I Will Be 6mos Pregnant Walking Down The Isle

I can`t say that I have been in this situation, but my mother is doing the same since my hubby-to-be already has a kid. It`s really difficult having your parents not understand, but they love you and will do what they think is right. I`m sure you wont have a problem as it is their grandchild you will be carying down the isle with you. Just continue to express how you feel about it and go from there.

Good luck sweetie!

Don`t let ANYONE rain on your parade. They should all be thrilled that you`re getting married at all. The plans were already moving along when the baby appeared into them, oh well!

Have a great time, and be proud of all the love you have between you. It`s a time of festive excitement, and it`s not a time to be expressing morality issues. They need to get on with the program, tastefully and respectfully of you and your husband`s to be`s wishes and feelings.

I had a client who had an "oops" before their wedding. She was in the same situation as you in the sense that they wanted this child and had been together for over 5 years and had been planning a wedding when she got pregnant. She was worried about people talking etc. My advice: have the best man (bride`s bro.) announce the pregnancy at the reception. This allowed people to talk about it openly and to..... CONGRATULATE the happy couple on the impending birth! and that`s what they did. How wonderful is that?

People know that you love each other and that this child will enter the world with parents who wanted him/her.

Congrats!

Congrats on the baby! I am 6 months pregnant too and my fiance and I will be getting married in a few weeks due to him being in the Army. Dont let anyone stand in our way on your special day. A baby is a precious gift from God dont be ashamed!

Congrats! you roped a guy into marrying you....

I am getting married in September. I have a 2 year old and I am not marrying the father. Of course, when my parents learned I was pregnat they weren`t happy of the situation because we are Catholic and I was unmarried but I have had their backing since. My daughter`s father is a different story and doesn`t really help with her at all. My engagement came on rather quickly with my fiancee and my parents couldn`t be happier. I think it is great and now adays more couples are extended the dating time before marriage and things can happen that aren`t optimal. But you are in love and a baby is the most precious gift. Enjoy!!! Perhaps in a few years you can renew your vows with a small party and have a dress to die for and have your child as part of the wedding.

Don`t mind thoughtless comments as far as being roped, you clearly state above how long you had been planning your marriage and things happen. It doesn`t mean women are all deceitful and I am upset to read that someone could be thoughtless as you are planning your big day

Hopefully your parents will come around. Have a great time and Congrats for all your delights.

HOW WAS THE WEDDING !!!
MINE WAS ELEGANT, MOST HAPPIEST DAY EVER,
WE GOT MARRIED THE SAME DAY
APRIL 26TH 2003

Layla,
You are a f&*^%$# B*t&^. Cut it out, why are you so rude? If you don`t have anything nice to say, don`t say it at all.

Layla, dear ... These chatboards are NOT intended for unkind or crass remarks. Just because someone else`s party may not be YOUR cup of tea does not give YOU carte blanche to take a slice at them.
These boards ARE for constructive help, giving brides support and WARNINGS where necessary, as in the case of a vendor who was taking the $$$ and running off with it, and not supplying merchandise. And they are a place for sharing positive ideas to overcome obstacles, and perhaps pointing out some "oops" that might have occurred at a wedding someone attended, so that we ALL benefit, both brides and coordinators alike. What you do to and for others ALWAYS comes back around .. Why let it be something to bite you, rather than caress you? Thoughtlessness is never received well. Wise up, not off, honey. Towards a gentler, kinder day ... Wishing you all more of them ... With kindest regards from Linda at thebridalconnection@yahoo.com, Syracuse, NY.

Also, I am not a good reader. This seems to be an older message and the wedding already passed, so let us hope all went well and maybe we can get an update

I think it`s silly that people react so horribly about a pregnant bride! Like most people don`t have sex before they are married, or something! If you remain positive and think of this child as a total blessing, and nothing else, then your attitude will rub off. If your parents refuse to be happy, then sit them down and let them know that their attitude is not appreciated and if they can not be happy for you on your big day, then they may want to look into why they are being so selfish and self-centered. You are an adult and your parents should treat you as such, so don`t let them not treat you as an adult!

I just got married in January and was 36wks along! It was my first wedding (I have kids from previous relationships, though). Since it was my first wedding I did a very formal catholic wedding and wore white. I think that it is common now to do that. Over 2/3 of couple live together first anyway so what difference does it make?
