Hi everyone. I am a long time lurker finally posting to get an unbiased opinion about a situation.
I just got engaged last Saturday after 3 years of dating. Although we made it official last weekend, we have been talking openly to family and friends about getting married on the Saturday of Easter Weekend 2012 in Disneyworld. We have had a hold on a location for a few months. Nothing paid or definite, but definitely brought up in conversation. Our families are spread all over the country, and we are on the West Coast, so we picked a weekend that would be convenient with kids spring break, vacations, etc. We are headed out to Orlando this weekend, something we had already planned in advance. While out there, we were going to finalize the date, place, etc. and meet with a preliminary wedding planner.
Last night, my brother and future sister-in-law ask us to log into Skype because they have something to tell us. To make a long story short, my sister-in-law is 5 weeks pregnant and due a few weeks before Easter weekend. They were calling because they knew we were headed to Orlando this weekend and they want us to change the wedding date. I had so many emotions at that moment, it sort of left me speechless. I didn't give an answer one way or another, but in between being obviously super excited for them, I am a little disappointed and confused. Not only is it extremely early to be telling people or determining an accurate due date, but if the baby is already born and my sister in law is feeling well, couldn't they work out a plan to just attend the wedding for a few days.
I am just wondering what everyone's thoughts were. I really want to keep my original plan and my fiance can't even believe she would ask us such a thing. Am I being insensitive? Thanks for your help.
