5 months out from the date, is doable, just be glad it wasn’t within a month of.
So who cheated? Him or her?
I cancelled my wedding too,sometimes Is the better for boths
I canceled my wedding a month before our date… so traumatic I barely had time to greave
Thank you.
You dodged a bullet. If you married this guy, it would've probably ended in a nasty divorce. Just go talk to other people, form new relationships, and you will find someone better.
I had to cancel my wedding and find a place to live. I was also starting a new career! It was so overwhelming I’m happy I’m still alive! Lbvs I know I can go to hell and come out breathing. 💪🏽
Never too late to make a courageous decision.
I’m going through this right now… thank you for this advice 😞
Thank you for being so open and honest!
Can you do a hair tutorial your hair is beautiful! My sister canceled her wedding and she is happy now:)
Awwww we had the same experience. I was also engaged but I didn't push through with the wedding and I am happy with my decision but it was a very hard decision though. I feel you.
Thank you for this video. I was supposed to get married on 19/10/19. Six days before (after weeks of issues with his family) my fiancé decided he couldn’t do it and cancelled it. Almost a year later I still struggle with it, and it does really help to know other people have been through this. The complicating factor in our scenario is that we are still together and trying to make it work. That is the part I haven’t been able to find any advice for. One day at a time!
My parents were supposed to get married and a few months before the wedding my father told mum that he had met someone and he didn't love her anymore.
Mum said when her wedding day came along she was devastated but then after than she realized that she wasn't meant to be with him and that she was lucky that she didn't get married and that he was honest with her so she was able to find someone who loves her and makes her happy. She said looking at it as a good thing and a bullet dodged helped make it easier and the next year the day came and went and she didn't even realize it.
Just saying that's something crazy to go through and anyone who does is crazy strong and incredible
How i wish I saw this video before I made the worse decision and married my now ex husband.
But now we've been broken up nearly a year and im so happy.
You're awesome and strong
Thank you so much. My wedding isn't cancelled but is postponed now until next year … I've had ups and downs about this and though I know it'll happen I am still sad that it won't happen in less than a month's time … This has really helped Xxx
Katie, loves this video! Can you pretty please with a cherry on top, make an in-depth story time of your first few dates with G, and how your relationship blossomed and the dates you had before him? I am 28 and still single. I hope to meet someone like you did 🙂 can you please give us some tips on how to do it…thank you and love watching your Chanel and following you on insta. My names Becky O’Malley bec_nz_ on insta. 💕
This video has come at such a good time for people who are having to cancel/postpone weddings due to covid too. Albeit without the break up side of things.
Isn’t it crazy just the deposits are ~ £10K? Why do we feel the pressure or urge to contribute to this material madness?
My wedding was called off 10 days before I was supposed to move over to America and marry him. Two years later, I’m now with the man of my dreams, and a baby on the way 💞
I don't think I've ever heard the specifics of someone cancelling a wedding before! Thanks for being so open 💖
Very brave of you Katie, I do not know how I would have managed through something like this but I am so pleased that you got through this with the help of your very supportive family. I listened to your podcast interview with it cosmetics and found it very good listening 👍
Aww I remember watching all of that unfolding and being so sad for u but hey isn’t the saying ..Everything happens for a reason!! Sooooo true go u girl u might be tiny but ur definitely mighty 😂🥰
I haven't cancelled my wedding but had to postpone due to covid 19 and I'm dreading the date coming as it was really special to me
You always make such helpful videos and you're always thinking of ways you can use your experience to provide guidance and support to others. Its so nice. I found your frankness to be very relatable at the time and my heart broke for you. I'm so encouraged to see how content you are now and how you're able to put your past to good use. Although – maybe I'm oblivious and this is a common thing but I was a little perplexed at the venue offering to transfer your deposit to a new date. That to me seems very tasteless and insensitive. Obviously you'd have imagined your day there with a specific person and settled on it together, so will have that association. How is it appropriate to offer that to a former bride to be who is processing a breakup? I still haven't completely found peace after a 3 year relationship that I thought was "it". You gave me hope for the future and I'm sure that applies to a lot of people who have struggled with similar periods of grief, then found solace here. X
where is your dress from? would also love to read the template email 🙂 xx
Such a brilliant video and I think this will help a lot of people…!! xx
It’s so amazing to see you with someone so perfect for you now, knowing you’d got through this and seeing you so happy. It’s so inspiring to see & it really keeps me going,
Thank you for this video. I had to cancel my wedding also 3 years ago and I remember watching your videos at the same time. Loads of love xx
I so, so value you speaking out about this. Last year, I was due to move back to Australia (I'm from the UK, but had lived there before) to be with my partner; we'd found our dream house and I was desperate for marriage and babies. He broke up with me a month before I was due to fly back and a week before my birthday. I'd love to say that my life is markedly better now, but I'm still doing a lot of mending and repair work on myself. Still, "The right one won't pass you by", as a good friend once told me.
Omg I thought you and G broke up, I’m so glad that is not the case! Love you both
such an amazing video, adore your honestly. big big love x
I'm so glad you're so much happier now! I've been following you well before your engagement and was so sad when you broke up but you also seem so much happier/yourself with G! If isn't a really rude/personal question to ask (I'm really sorry if it is) do you think you will get engaged again or is it something you're sort of a bit scared of now? Lots of love xxx
This video is not relevant to me at all but I am still going to watch because I love your videos 😊
This was a video I didn’t know I needed. My relationship of two years ended unexpectedly a week ago, and I truly thought he was the love of my life. We had a very positive relationship, then it ended when he felt he needed to be alone for a while. I’ve been afraid to come to grips with the breakup and worry about finding that happiness again. This video made me feel even just a little bit more hopeful ❤️
I’ve never even been engaged or in a serious relationship, but I remember watching you during that period and it’s so empowering and insightful to see how much you’ve grown and dealt with an upsetting situation 💖🙏🏼
My relationship ended suddenly 3 weeks before our wedding. I was in bits and didn’t really have the time to take a breath before having to cancel everything. The worst was having to pick up my dress, which I did on my own because having anyone else there would have been awful. I also had to deal with the actual day which was meant to be at a family party in my parents back yard. The party still happened and I was there. Not going to lie – it was awful. Fast forward 12 years and I am happily married and have been for 7 years. Thank you for this video. No one talks about these things and yet they are far more common that people realise.
