Mother Of The Groom Is Ill And May Not Be Able To Make The Wedding.?
Okay so my fiance’s dad is in a wheel chair and his mom has now been hospitalized for the second time this year. This time for blood clots in her lungs and is now at a rehab facility for a few weeks only hopefully. Our wedding is in October so it’s a ways out. However we’re getting married on the Disney cruise. Our families rooms are already booked. My parents are paying for his to go because with their health problems the don’t have the extra money to do it. This wouldn’t be a problem if we didn’t already have about 15 guest who have booked the cruise already. They have until the middle of July to cancell without penalty. She may be just fine and more the able and willing to go.
My question is would it be wrong to ask people who booked to cancel if she isn’t? Of course before they’d face a penalty, they get the money the reserved back. We wouldn’t feel right getting married without her there.
I think people that were willing to put forth that much money to see you get married would understand. This isn’t some random 3rd cousin twice removed stranger – it is your fiance’s MOTHER. I think it’s really sweet of you to consider the financial investment of your guests, but for someone as important as your fiance’s mother, I think postponing the wedding is a decent option and that everyone will understand.
I hope your mother-in-law regains her health, and that you all have a wonderful time! Congratulations!
