You can always find a proxy husband.... ;) Just kidding. :) Anyway, sorry to hear your wedding was called off. But my advice is this: sometimes things just don't work out because they aren't meant to be. When it is meant to be, you'll know it and feel it in your heart. You also should give back all the presents and send out letters of regret to the people you've invited. Also, please don't feel so bad. Things didn't work out this time but it doesn't matter they won't ever work out. You'll find someone new. You'll see. :) :)

I broke off an engagement when I was much younger ... less than 2 weeks to the wedding. It was definitely the right decision but it really was devastating for both of us. I think we were pushing too hard to have a wedding rather than just taking our time and enjoying our relationship. Years later, I saw her married with 4 kids. I was still attracted to her as always and happy to see her doing well. It was just bad timing for us ... we were too immature at the time to handle that kind of love.
Marriage only magnifies the problems you have in a relationship. It is much better to be single wishing you were married than married wishing you were single. Give your soul some time to heal. You are still a beautiful woman and your best years are still ahead of you. Hope springs eternal. You may be in the ashes today but you will learn a lot from this experience that will make you a better person and better suited for a long-term relationship.

I'm sorry you had to go through that, whatever the circumstance I'm sure it wasn't an easy decision. But everything happens for a reason. Whatever the reason, this just wasn't right at this time. But I don't doubt that those who love you will back you up without a question. Hang in there, my Pop always says "everything passes". So there's my advice for what it's worth, and you have my sympathy. I hope for your heart to heal and strengthen from this.

Thank God it happened now and not later!
I was totally and completely dumped 3 weeks before a grand wedding. Even had to send out announcements stating "The marriage between so&so and so&so" will not take place."
I look back and thank God he was strong enough to call it off because I wasn't. My life would SUCK if I were married to him now. I can't even explain it all!
I am so sorry this happened to you. Just realize that something better must obviously be waiting for you down the road.

If the timing and/or guy wasn't right, then you did the right thing. It is hard to cancle just a big event, im sure all your closest family and friends were very excited for you. Now they probablly don't know exactly how to react. I am sure they support you 100% but are unsure how to handle the less than exciting news.

What to do, is return the gifts and re-imburse your bridesmaids and groomsmen for thier dresses and tuxes. I'm sorry you called the wedding off though, my condolences

Everything happens for a reason.
