well i went to a wedding on sunday (well what was ment to be a wedding)
traveled the hour car drive to get to the most beautiful venue... everyone was waiting around and then the toast master comes to the mic, explains that the bride has been rushed to hospital.... as she had 3 weeks left of her pregancy.
anyways an hour later the toast master comes back and the bride had her baby!! a little baby girl!!
now that was not how i was expecting the day to go.... i know this sounds strange but even though i was so happy that she had the baby and the baby was safe and sound and healthy i kept thinking oh my god thats over 20 grand on a day wasted! well not wasted but 20 thousand pounds that you didnt get to enjoy as the meal and the drinks and the whole wedding day! i dont know why i thought this but i think its because how much my wedding is costing and i would hate something i couldt control stop me having my day and spending all that money!!
would any of you think this too? x
CommentAuthorKaz
Strange to spend that much money that close to the expected date!
I'd be devastated, no way you could save that up again in a hurry eh?
WARNING:
I say the first thing I think of!
CommentAuthorWifey2be
i know whats what i thought! well she had it booked and paid for before she knew she was preggers!
and didnt want to cancel and lose all that money!!
i mean dont get me wrong having your child must be the best feeling in the world but i would be gutted losing all that money and my wedding day! lol xx
CommentAuthorKaz
Well, at least I won't have that particular problem!
i am sure they will get married soon but have a budget wedding this time!
so happy for them but sad at the same time¬! x
CommentAuthorkatielea100
i wouldnt even be botherd my daughter means more than any money any day infact anything in the world i loose anything for her!
CommentAuthorUnknown
congrats to her but i dont understand why they would spend so much on a wedding with the baby due so close x
CommentAuthorLinzi-jo
Would her wedding insurance not cover it as she had no control over it happening?
But I'm sure that she is just happy that she had a healthy little baby, no matter what day she decided to come! xxx

CommentAuthorMrsShaw
Insurance would not cover it. I work for an insurance company which covers weddings and pregnancy is a general exclusion. Something you don't have control over would include things like immediate members of the wedding party, including the bride and groom, being rushed to hospital etc. Pregnancy is something which you find out about in enough time to re arrange things.
Either way, I'm glad she had a healthy baby :) If that was me, I would have tried my damndest to get to the wedding as well! I read a story where a woman ended up giving birth on her wedding day, then turned up later with the baby and got married!

CommentAuthorWifey2be
trust me she tried to get to the wedding she was rushed out of the weddingn venue 20 mins before the wedding was due!!
she booked it all before she found out she was preggers and she thought 3 weeks before the due date!
think the stress of the wedding just brought the baby early!!
so happy the baby is healthy though!! xx
CommentAuthorNicsquared
You would think the venue would let her postpone or bring it forward a bit, I dont think I would go ahead so close to the due date, the stress cant be good for the baby!
There are so many people out there who will tell you
what you can't do.
What you have to do is turn around and say, "watch me"!!
CommentAuthorBrideInTraining

CommentAuthorJanie
aww bless that is so romantic in a way! you never know the venue may offer her a cheaper wedding, maybe just the ceremony or soemthing
Remember : To the world you may be just one person,
BUT to one person you may just be THE WORLD x x x
CommentAuthorPB
Janie LOL,giving birth is many things amazing,life changing but never thought of it as romantic before! Your right janie maybe the venue might give her discount like supermarkets that give you free nappies if your waters break whilst shopping there-its certainly worth her enquiring xxx
CommentAuthorloustew2012
aww lovely story, despite the wedding no taken place glad the baby is well and safe. xxx
All the ways of my life id rather be with you.
Theres no way without you.

CommentAuthormym72
I'd have definitely postponed the wedding til after the baby was born. Why waste all that money just in case something like that happened, as anything can happen in pregnancy.
CommentAuthorJoanneF
Aw no, did she try asking the venue if they could bring the date forward or postpone? Glad the baby is healthy and hope they get the wedding they want soon xx
CommentAuthorSaraC1
aww thats lovely that her baby came then.. did she not try to change the date of it as thats pushing it really with only 3weeks left before the wedding to be due.
CommentAuthorMrsSophieFoster
i have to agree with katielea100 i really wouldnt be bothered about losing the money myself as having a child is worth more than money but i also would have postponed on finding out i was pregnant if id already booked, just think she had 37 weeks of pregnancy so she couldnt have spent that much money to be worried to postpone it and lose a lot less than 20 grand, lovely story though. Like an episode of corrie...x

CommentAuthorMrsKisywisy
lol @ the corrie comment!!
she should go to lots of magazines to sell her story. that'll give her a little spare cash for the NEXT wedding, and you never know, maybe the venue will look at it as good publicity and slash the price??

Mrs Shaw to be, my friend's niece had her baby on her wedding day and her story was in a mag about two years ago, wonder whether it was her!
Crikey anyway I'm glad I won't possibly be in that situation!
CommentAuthorhugsmore84
Wow, I know children are exspensive. I don't blame your thoughts mine would have been the same.
I may have even tried to get through the wedding before having her if it was me
I asked him if he liked me on 20thMarch 2005, he said yes
He asked me to marry him on 20th December 2010

CommentAuthorBex89
Wow - what a shock! Hope they get another day sorted out ok... how torn would you feel - so happy you have a beautiful baby but rather annoyed it had to be that day of all days! lol... I do have to agree with other ladies though, changing the date would ahve been wise..
Been with my gorgeous 5years :)
Can't wait to become Mrs Ellery
CommentAuthorClareS
now that's a plus 1 you wouldn't mind having! :) I personally would've moved the date. Did the photographer pack up and go home or did he do birth pictures instead lol ;) x
CommentAuthorMorgsysGirl(kempy)
I think if people read the whole thing, the bride and paid and organised everything BEFORE she found out she was pregnant and there was still THREE weeks between the wedding date and the babys due date. There for the bride was thinking she didnt have to change anthing and loose money by postponing/moving the wedding. Three weeks at the end of pregnancy really is enough time to do anything and everything needed. Baby must have decided she wanted to be their on her parents special day. Hopefully the hotel will be kind enough to do the same kind of wedding at a highly discounted price for them. Also tell your friend congratulations on the birth of her daughter from everyone at UKB x

So glad I'm finally a Morgan!
CommentAuthorClareS
I understand what your saying that she thought she'd have enough time between due dates/wedding etc but she still made a consious decision all those months ago chose not to move her wedding date. Playing devils advocate here thinking from the venue point of view - If they were willing to supply everything they were contracted to on the actual day, why should they offer a new date with huge discounts and loose lots of money for someones bad planning? I see it as a risk she took and she'll have to cough up the cash for another day. If her insurance wont cover it, why should the venue? If she does get a discount then she should think herself extremely lucky indeed x

Oh, thanks for the tip. Sorry! xx
CommentAuthormym72
I agree with you fully ClareE - she knew what she was taking on when she planned the wedding then found the baby was due so close to the date. The venue doesn't owe them anything - it's their own inability to plan properly that they haven't had their wedding day.
CommentAuthorsussie
I feel sorry for this friend, wifey2be has said nothing about her friend trying to get discounts from the venue for her next wedding, yet its coming across like she has and she is in the wrong. I must admit, i was made homeless 3 weeks before my baby was due, and if thats not as stressful as getting married, and he was 5 days late. So her continuing with plans made before she found out she was pregnant and still with 3 weeks to go, wasnt necessary a bad planning idea. Just bubba had other ideas,
she was unfortunate, but life is a bit unpredicatable like that, she could have moved the wedding and it may still have happened.
Congratulations to your friend Wifey2be
CommentAuthorWifey2be
thank you.. yeah it was a shock but a great shock and yes the wedding was already paid for and moving the date would of cost her more and as it was her first child she fought why not risk it as first children are usually late!!
i am so happy for her! i just put it on here to get your thoughts on it all and if any of you find out your pregger prospond the date haha!! x
i was not talking about discounts or claiming on insurance just wanted to share the joy of the baby and the sort of sadness about the wedding day not going as planned!
i just said i thought it must be guttering to lose that money but great joy at the same time to have a baby!!!
xx
CommentAuthornicole85
My wedding was all booked & paid for then i found out i was pregnant. Im due 3 weeks before my wedding date. I am not putting my wedding back because im pregnant, i'll still be able to enjoy the day but just means we will have an extra special present on the day :-) xx

CommentAuthorJill
Aww it's one thing you wouldnt mind losing the money for - anything else would be a bummer! That would be my luck though. Thankfully not pregnant (yet) so wont happen on my day but I did read the story about the girl who had her baby on her wedding day... did she manage to get through the ceremony but didnt get to enjoy the party? Either way - such a lovely story for the grandkids! tbh I doubt I'd have changed my date - esp with first! I thought I was invincible and arranged to go to see the kaiser chiefs at 8 months pregnant. Dont get me wrong, it got to the date and I didnt go - was bloated, sore and fed up - but when I booked that, even in early pregnancy, I thought I'd manage it no bother so I think if I'd been in that situation Id have thought the wedding would have fitted in nicely just before baba arrived lol x

Congratulations to your friend! I would've had to have postponed the wedding. I was huge when I was pregnant, but when it's your first baby you don't realise how big and uncomfy you can get. Like Jill was saying you think you'll be alright x
