I have booked a wedding for September 16th. Everything is turning out, A-Okay, just untill last night I found out I was pregnant. I did the math myself, so around November I should have this baby with my husband. No one in the family knows yet but the wedding must go on! Regardless, pregnant or not. Although, I refuse to have the wedding with such a big belly. I was thinking of fast pacing the wedding for the next 2-3 months. Fortunately, the recpetion manager is letting us do that (without taking our deposit). So we decided to have the wedding sooner than usual. However, I don't think I want to do in August or July, since it's so hot and I will be cranky as hell. Then I figured, June, but not, May.. my mom's identical twin sister passed away in May. So all I have left is, April and June. What are you suggestions, ideas, comments and recommendations. I need help and advice, ASAP!

Oh hun' I was like you!! Really, except I was planning my wedding in Italy and I was 5 months along as I walked down the isle in my church wedding. No one noticed and had to ask me 2x if I was really pregnant. Seeing as how you don't want to show too much April is nice, but it might be a little rushed and not how you want it, so go with early June that would be lovely and it won't be so rushed. You will glow on your day and I wish you the best!:)

Honey, no. Push the wedding BACK, not forward. You do not want to be a pregnant bride in the summer heat if you can avoid it. You will be uncomfortable and you won't be able to kick back and relax the way you should at your own wedding. April or June is not much time; you'd end up rushing the rest of the plans just to get married before the baby is born. Why?
Plan the wedding for one or two months after the baby is born. You'll be more comfortable physically, and you'll be able to have a good time.

I think the end of april to early may would be your best bet, I understand how may is not always a good month, but do you think the person who died would want that month full of sadness every month? Or would they want it to be about life happyness etc. You can respect your aunt and still have a wedding in the same month i think its a little unfair to jinx a month like that. But if your uncomfortable I would do it at the end of april, june wouldnt be a good month since alot of people get married around that time!

Girl, skip the fancy planned wedding, get yourself and your man down to the town hall or jp - wherever - and just get married with your family there. Circumstances have changed, and so must the two of you. Time to think about your baby now, and giving him or her a proper family. Turn all the money and the time over to getting ready for the baby. You need to not be selfish at this time, because things didn't turn out the way you wanted.

go with april! its a good month!! my one year wedding anniversery is april first (yes april fools, no it wasnt a joke). your lucky in the sence that the reception site is letting you change the date. most wont do that. people might figure it out that your pregnant since your moving the wedding up so fast. spring weddings are always a good idea. you better get started planning now, tough because april is right around the corner. good luck, and congrats on the wedding and baby!! (we are ttc, and hoping it will happen soon)

Pick a day and go for it. May would be nice. Who cares that your aunt died in that month, she's gone and perhaps your mom would like something happy in that month to remember. Everyone is going to assume you're pregnant anyway and were forced to move the wedding up.
Or, you can stick with your original date and get a maternity wedding dress. There are some very nice, classy ones out there.

Well june is the "most weddings" month. If you already have deposits with everyone, flowers, food, place for ceremony and all that they may work with you but if not it's probably too late. So I would shoot for april and just hope you can get it done.

April is too soon. Not enough time to send invites.
Make it a June wedding. Not too hot and plenty of time to plan, decorate, get a dress and send invitations.
Congrats baby and wedding!
Good luck

well, just don't do it the weekend closest to the date your moms sis passed away and you are ok, I am gettin married march 24 and my moms sis died march 17, so we just didn't pick that weekend. any later than that and I fear you will start showing, if not, go for EARLY june, but I think april is too soon, you would only have like a month and a half, which means invites should have gone out like yesterday!

I think you would be better off postponing the wedding versus moving it up. you will still be showing (somewhat). that way you have a chance at making your waist small for your big day and you can look just the way you want to look (instead of working around your pregnancy).
