I have a friend who has her wedding planned for September. They just recently found out that his father doesn't have long to live. They are considering moving the wedding up. I am also getting married but in April of this year and agreed to help her-which i Have a tremendous amount to do for myself yet. I understand why they would want to do this - I lost my mom also a few years ago. My questions is- What would be some options for them to have a small ceremony now and still keep there date for September and have there big wedding. I just think that if they change everything the day won't be remembered as there day but they day they had to move up the wedding so his father could be there. I am just looking for some advice to give to her.

I would move the wedding, ceremony and reception, up as close to the present as she can. I am sure she and her groom will want his dad to be present at all of the festivities. This doesn't have to cast a sad shadow over their day, in fact, I think her husband may be more sad, maybe even resentful, if they waited and dad passed before seeing them marrie and there to celebrate the event with them.
