Just the two of us....a beach in Mombassa...a safari honeymoon....but things didn't work out, I am heart broken and dreading friday...it will be all I can think about.
Any suggestions on what I should do to take my mind off it!!

Don't take your mind off it. Spend the day thinking about it and mourning it, and then on Saturday Start again. Begin your new life. You never know what the future will bring, and you have the rest of your life to find out.
A broken heart will not stay broken forever!
Thinking of you.

You have loads of answers so choose something you would want to do or spend time with person/people you would be comfortable with. However, in my previous line of work various situation caused people to feel just like you about a particular day or season coming up, could be all sorts of things, being let down and hartbroken as you are or anniversary perhaps of a child. Others had addiction problems and after being good for so long dreaded for example Christmas. When the particular day came I can honestly say they all said (not saying it was easy for them) that the build up knowing the day was coming, thinking all eyes, throughts would be on them was so much worse that the actual day itself. Wishing you all the very best and hope this helps if even a little.

Have a "Me Day!"
Call in sick or just take the day off work! Make an appointment at a spa. Invite a few of your best gal pals or even your mom and just relax. Stay all day if ya like. Or end the night with shipping and dinner and a movie. Try to do things that you and the guy didn't do a lot when you were together. This will keep your mind off of him. Get your nails done, hair done, anything you want done, heck - even your boobs - if you feel like it!!! But do whatever is is you want to do for yourself to make yourself feel better. Whatever you do, do not sulk in your own sorrow. That will make you feel worse. Dont' stay home to yourself!
My sister did this in 2003. She was heartbroken and didn't know what to do. So we all went to a Spa and just had a blast.
Hope this helped ya some!!!
And enjoy your Friday!

Go out on a shopping trip with your mum or best friends... Shop from early morning til early evening, only break off for lunch. Then get yourself ready, go out for some good food, eye up as many fella's as you can then go on to a bar or something. Drink enough so that when you get home at night you fall straight asleep!
Then hey presto before you know it, the day is over and you haven't had any time to think about it at all xx

How awful for you, I am sorry you are faced with this situation. My mother has a saying that what doesn't kill you makes you stronger, so try to turn the situation into a positive thing and prove to yourself you are strong enough to get through it. Make arrangements in advance so that you are busy all day, ask some of your friends to meet you for lunch, treat yourself to a shopping trip in the afternoon or go to have your hair done and have an aromatherapy massage, then go and watch a movie at night, if you are with people who care about you they can help you by talking to you about it if you want to talk, or just keeping you busy if you do not want to talk.

Been there love. I called my wedding off 6wks before it was supposed to be. I realised better to be 6wks before than 6wks after. Of course you're sad, you're going thru a grieving period. It will get better, given time, but no-one knows just how much time it will take. BUT you now have an obligation to yourself to get back into living a normal life again. I'm sure if you are really miserable on Friday your family and friends will understand. Have a weepy half hour to yourself, then get dressed up and go out or round to a friends house or the pictures. You will survive!

Oh I'm so sorry to hear that it didn't work out, that must be tough. I don't think that anything you do will make you forget, but maybe one of these two will help take your mind off it...either 1. pamper day with your best friend with your fave activity afterwards, or 2. night in with your best friends watching great films and eating whatever the hell you want...up to you

A few years back I met a young woman at the airport on what was supposed to be her wedding day and she was on her way to Spain to go backpacking and we also ran into another girl who had family in Spain and they were going to hang out together. If you're adventerous, you could take a trip if you think you could manage on your own. Go somewhere, you've always wanted to. If that doesn't sound appealing, you should stay with family. But whatever you do, DON'T stay at home weeping. Go to a sporting event and please stay away from places that remind you of your ex. Which is why taking a trip somewhere could be appealing.

my friend was meant to get married in June last year and just after valentines he dumped her. She was in peices.
When it came round to the day they should have got married, she went away with her family. although she was dreading it, it really wasn't as bad she thought it would be though.
Think you need to do whatever you feel will make you feel better. If its going to be on your mind, maybe not go into work that day,and get your friends around for nice girly afternoon, or see your family and think of how lucky you are to have found out it wouldn't have worked out before the wedding, and that you don;t have to deal with the hassle and expense of divorce.
Basically surround yourself with people who do love you for who you are and realise you don't need him, the loser.

Why don't you take a cruise? my sister had the same problem! she broke up with her fiancee few days before the wedding because he is Bisexual.... she went on Carnival for a week (they are the cheapest and one of the best) and she joined a group of singles and met someone she's seeing for about 5 months. Try it! and remember that things happen for a reason!... good luck and all the best
