She had "Cold Feet"

[Steverino]

Good Lord willing, I'm planning on being wed this October in Mexico with close friends and family. When we began pricing the reception packages, (I have had some experience in this area having been engaged previously and like you Fab's, broke it off but for different reasons-she was essentially more in love with the idea of getting married than with me) we discovered that for essentially the same price of throwing a shin-dig for one day, we could invite and pay for our immediate family to come down to an all-inclusive get-away in Mexico for several days.

Also..(and this is the important part ) both of our families are dysfunctional so we can skip alot of the family BS by skooching off.

When we come back, we're planning on throwing a big backyard Oktoberfest bash with all of our friends and family that couldn't make it down to Mexico.

Everything id essentially lined up and done and has been wonderfully stress-free. I'd personally recommend it to anyone. Now we'll see how stuff turns out.

I can't help but wonder if the stress of this big wedding reception is what pushed this gal over the edge (personally, I think that she may have have had some other issues going on as well. )

What kind od swaray have you got planned in July Fabs? Sounds like you've had alot of stuff going on with your home projects as well. How've you been coping?
