Thank you ALL so much for the support, prayers, hugs, and pixie dust for my dad and my family. I am sorry I brought this up here, but I am also so grateful to all of you. I deeply appreciate everything you have all written. I know I don't know any of you really, but you have all been so amazing to me! So thank you! grouphug:
I kind of just don't know how to feel. I mean last monday was absolutely the best day of my life so far and then five days later I got the worst news of my life so far. So I go back and forth between being ecstatic and sad. I keep putting some of our wedding pictures up at work because they make me smile, but then take them down 5 minutes later, when I start crying because I am thinking of my dad. I am at work and I'm fighting back tears, so I think I should write about some happy stuff! I am definitely going to take the advice you all have given me.
Nikki - all your pictures are beautiful! Classic questions and actions from your ringbearer! Our wedding should be a true circus!
So, so sorry about your Dad!
Sending hugs and prayers for many happy moments together...for years to come

Keep the TR coming
That's part of why I can't wait to see your pics. They will have so much fun. And you and James will have so much fun!
Nikki,
I'm so sorry about your dad
Your floral was actually really pretty, even if it wasn't exactly what you asked for. I know how frustrating that can be though when you are paying so much money you just want what you asked for! Did you tell them how disappointed in the flowers you were?
I told my planner, about the flowers, but I haven't told Rose yet. But I will!
You and your girls are gorgeous! Can't wait to see Misty's pictures...
And I agree with Carrie... your hubby is a cutie.
Glad to hear you like Rev. Knox. He seems so at ease with everyone.
And I'm sorry about your dad...
I'm sure it's really hard to think about it now, just keep on praying and enjoy your time with him.
Honestly I can't imagine having to go through this. Think about how much he must love you to hold off this information until after your big day.
I'll keep your family in my prayers...
Thank you Cynthia! Cute hubbies rock! There are so many cute hubbies on this board. Shane is a cutie too. You two are going to have gorgeous babies (if that's on the agenda).
I'm so sorry about your dad. I hope they can come up with a treatment for his soon, so he can enjoy your new life.
As for contacting Disney Floral, I would. Sure you didn't have a planning session, but not every bride can afford the trip down there. I'm sure they do lots of weddings with no PS. And you sent her the same pic you posted here, right? even if the bouquet didn't match perfectly, the ribbon wasn't correct, and what was up with all the goo all over the flowers?? That alone would make me complain! I'm sure it was all over your hands and on some dresses! ICK!
Yep, I sent her a four page word file with tons of pics and very detailed descriptions and went over it all during a phone session. I will complain, nicely though!
I'm so sorry about your Dad, my Dad past away when I was only 19 years old and my Mother also had Breast Cancer. So I can't definitely relate. You are in my thoughts and prayers.
Congrats on your wedding. Everything was just beautiful! Can't wait to see more photos!
Thank you! I am sorry about your parents too!
Oh I am sooooo sorry to hear that about your father
Cancer is tough and that is how I lost my grandfather. I hope everything turns out ok. If it helps, my grandfather was diagnosed with cancer and told he only had six months to live but he ended up living 13 years. I hope your dad goes past 13 years!!!
That is so encouraging, a few other people have told me similar things. I do pray that he will have the same experience.
Nikki,
I haven't had a chance to read through your entire TR yet (I am waiting for a free min to do so!!! can't wait!!!), but I am so sorry to hear about your dad. My heart is heavy with sadness for you. Please know that everyone here will be praying for your family, for your dad, and for you. I wish you all the luck in the world as you start your new life with your DH, and as your family goes through this troubling time.
Thank you so much!
Meg, Thank you so much. this is wonderful advice and I will do it. I am going to call him tonight.
My father passed away from cancer . It has been a number of years now, but I can understand your feelings. My thoughts are with you and your family. Cherish the times you have had those will always be with you and enjoy the now. Its hard not to dwell on what could be etc.... but you could miss so much now. best wishes
Thank you so much
Nikki -- My thoughts and prayers are with your family, sweetie!
Thank you so much! I am starting to cry again, from reading all of your posts.
I totally agree with Megan's comments. Seize each opportunity to talk and listen. And remember, when you need someone to talk to. We'll be here to listen to you.
Thank you so much. You guys are so wonderful!
But, you are in our thoughts and prayers.
