Hi Courtney,

People in the wedding business must see this every week. Is there any way to get any money back? Start there if you haven’t already.

So I was in a house fire years ago and was left with probably the same amount of stuff! What I tell people after going through losing “everything” (see the quotes there? LOL) is the bright side is… You get to start over with brand new stuff!! Everything (eventually) will be new. You get to pick out your style, no compromises. Always wanted a color scheme? Now you can do it without worrying how it “goes” with everything else. Also, all the new stuff will replace the old stuff which is memories of him.

This guy: His personality flaws finally came out, and thank God! What if you had kids, a mortgage, and were God forbid dying of cancer? What if he did this stunt then?? You dodged a bullet!! I bet people on your side AND his side are secretly relieved. There was a called off wedding in our family. It was embarrassing for the couple. Some of the older generation was angry. But guess what? It was a blessing for everyone.

Hang in There,

Inky
