Monogamy Monday: N.Ireland wedding cancelled

this image source has been lost somewhere in the black hole that is tumblr, let me know if you have the proper source.

Ok so THIS is definitely my most dramatic post title,

and there have been far too many my friends.

I don't even really know what to say,

so let me begin by saying Stephen and I are FINE.

We are together.

We are in love.

We are amazing.

We are a strong team.

I love that man like crazy.

However,

due to unfortunate circumstances,

we have had to cancel our wedding in Northern Ireland.

The decision was a heartbreaking one to come to,

but it was completely necessary and we feel peace about it,

even amidst the many tears we have both shed.

I cannot go into the personal details of the situation here on this very public blog,

but some of you probably have an idea already what has happened.

So I will just leave it at that on here.

Moving forward,

Stephen and I WILL be getting married,

because it is about the marriage, and not the wedding.

We are planning a very VERY small, private ceremony through the registrars office 

(like a courthouse wedding)

and will have a larger reception in California this summer 

when we move back.

A welcome home AND a wedding reception.

You can all come.

Our hearts are sad,

but we are remaining optimistic and hopeful,

thanks mainly to the incredible support that has been pouring in from our friends.

You know you have good friends when your bridesmaids who have already booked flights,

 are only concerned about you and your happiness instead of the money spent.

The silver lining 

(if you can make one in this situation)

is that we will be able to move back to the USA even sooner than originally planned.

Thank you for all of your love and support,

it means the world (seriously) to Stephen and I.
