Wedding at home. Mother terminally ill

I am looking for some advice. My mummy has stage 4 cancer and has started to deteriorate very quickly. The nurses have told us that we need to be realistic and start to prepare for the worst. 

I am engaged to be married but know my mum is not likely to make the day. I want so much for her to be there so want to look into getting married at my parents house. Can anyone advise how I might go about this.

 

thank you 

  •  Hello there,  so sorry to hear about your mum. What a lovely idea.

    a friend of mine was in a very similar situation last year. Her father was terminally ill.  She and her fiance had a “Celebrant” come  and perform a non-religious wedding service in the garden.   They ordered  food from Marks & Spencer‘s, I think also the wedding cake came from M and S. Friends got involved with flowers and a couple of brothers did a barbecue . So her father got to see her in her wedding dress, surrounded by close family and friends , None of the stress of organising a huge affair, much quieter, much more intimate and much easier to organise -  I think they had it sorted within three weeks.

     I hope that helps

  • Hi

    thank you. That sounds like a lovely day. I am definitely going to look into it.

    our wedding is supposed to be in February so am going to see if any of the people we are using can bring it forward for us.
