Should i postpone the wedding?

i thought we are a perfect match. He promised noone will make me as happy as he can.

Everything went on smoothly ultil after we both declared our coming wedding and sent out invitations. the preparation aroused many arguments and sadness, even silence.

Now I am so confused and unsecured. the questions like is this decision a right one? are we meant for each other? should we reconsider this marriage? how to deal with all the set wedding arrangements? how to deal with family, colleagues, friends.... keep coming up and chasing my mind

what should i do?

Just ask yourself is this the man you want to spend the rest of your life with.

Or even better, ask yourself do you want to spend the rest of your life without him.

You will know what to do then if you follow your gut feelings.

Most couples bicker about wedding planning, because it is a pressurised fuss all about one day.

Think about being married...not the wedding day.
Thank you Mollybaby, we passed the wedding planning, now we argue about future life together. less smiles, less happy moments, replaced with arguments, sadness, silence and confusion. he never mentioned about rethinking the marriage but i did 3 times. i dont know how to stabilize my feelings ...
LastStrike ...sorry you are in this dilemma.
Not sure I can provide any advice ...
Get some time to think about it, no one knows yourself better than you ....a quiet place and time for yourself....

Good luckhug
What have Americans got to do with a post about an upcoming wedding in Asia ? confused
LastStrike, wanna Skype? hug comfort
Hmmmm.....Ziggy, I find your last statement a bit unfair?

I know coz I've been with one, albeit long distance, for the past two years?
Coz LastStrike's fiancé happens to be a Yank?


Molly reunion
A marriage is a marriage in any part of the world , be it Asia , America ,England it do not matter . marriage is a very serious union . there is a saying , measure ( 10 ) times cut once . think long and hard as long and as much time as you need . if it have to happen it will.
Thank you Cachuchi
That's what i m worried too ziggy
Mollybaby, my fiance is American but you are right, i guess it is not about nationality. We are talking about our issues now. I guess i woke him up with a request to rethink the marriage and he is not sleeping tonight to talk about it.... maybe it's because of the communication...
Mimi i m going out soon. See you when i get home and hopefully you are awake.
Ok, leave me a message when you get home and you're not too tired xx
Anlee. I agree. But i have been thinking over last 10 years and still not able to make up my mind to get married yet. This time I just follow my feelings but the issue is that it keeps changing defending on how well we get along...
Mimi. Yes sis. Have a good evening
Hi Laststrike, wave
Before you do anything hash, talk to your fiancé; open your heart about your doubts at a time when you are both calm enough to listen to each other. I think the only way to reach an agreement and go back to the harmony state you're lacking is through talking. After you do that, you can decide what is best for you to do. I hope for the best.bouquet
Hello Last,

Your look stunning in your dress.

I know I am a Yankee and probably don't have any right to speak here. :) After reading your blog closely, it sounds like the issue may lie within yourself. It sounds like you may be having second thoughts? I Anna's suggestion of communication. I was never a women about to get married, so I cannot tell how one would feel about that. It is a huge life decision, so I can speculate on the intensity of the feelings that come with such.

Should you postpone the wedding, do you want to?

Wish you the best.

If marriage is what you wish for, no one but you can decide on it.
The Wedding Promise,or vow is not going to be your contract
..it is God's. Otherwise you can only view it as a legality.

The hearts that put each other first needn't think twice.
Love,Honor and Respect is an every.day decision.
I think Molly got it right. Premarital jitters had sunk many a promising union. Sit down with him and talk it out. If you cannot talk this one out, it is unlikely that you'd be able to sort out future problems. Just my view of it and I might be wrong.
hug
I'm wondering if this is a foreshadow of things to come. Its awful early to be arguing.

Think about this carefully.
If you were married before then you should have some experience . the ball is in your court , if he loves you and you love him then some extended time would make the love grow stronger . hurry birds do not build good nest but at the end of the day it is all up to the both of you .. i want to wish you all the best and if you believe in God , putting it in God's hands is the best solution .
I think some women want Congratulations for getting a man to
the Altar,to begin their reign.The Princess lifestyle.

Others simply want to be needed,and also expect children
He must fulfill this need after marriage.It is her only role.

Others want it all and find a go getter,whether they both
share the gains 50/50 remains to be seen.

Marriage can be seen as a lifestyle - be it an advantage
or adventure ....or a fairy tale. She'll pretend he is charming?
maybe too much focus has been put on the wedding and the people involved in it. Also the future planning, maybe it is time to just talk while you are in the moment. Try just having some casual conversation, maybe a few jokes.
Cancel the wedding
We weren't invited moping here gift bouquet
And if that was like a kick in the gut -

change your profile - which says, apart from the first sentence, that you are still looking
ask yourself if all those wedding preparations that you want are really important enough to fight over

what do you really want? a wedding, or a marriage?
a bridegroom, or a husband?

I stressed so much before my wedding that I was sedated on the day and barely remember a thing about what should have been the happiest day of my life doh

He was a nice man but the wrong man, we should never have got married and it didn't last. I don't regret it, if only because we had a kid and I think I would be unhappy now if I thought I had missed out on motherhood. But I didn't marry for the right reasons, and I subconsciously knew it. So if you want a fairytale wedding and a Prince Charming and he was in the right place at the right time, think about what you really want.

It may still be him - but once you've worked that out and you know for sure, you'll stop fretting. If being in a team of two with him for 50 years turns you cold, you should probably go with my first suggestion, and cancel.

dunno
is not best place to seek advice I thinks ...is a serious thing marriage maybe if your religious talk with a preist or a councillor is how I would see your best thing to do hope you see is a big step and you have to be certain you wants
It sounds as though you have already made up your mind or at least have subconsciously.

relationships are work and at times can be hard work.

You haven't mentioned if the issues the both of you cannot agree upon. Are they little issues or serious issues? I hope you know the difference between the two.

I wish you the best and can only offer that you at minimum postpone the wedding until you work out your issues.
Thank you all for your sharing. he stayed up all night to clear the misunderstanding and reach agreement. i know i was wrong in the ways i approached things and we failed to find harmonized ways to communicate clearly and gently too. We are good now. I feel more touched and firm about his love for me. Long distance relationship is hard but hope we will make it til the day we are together under the same roof hug
Swami, for us marriage is something sacred, not just a piece of paper though. But there are always ways out when things do not go right. However, we will try our best

Ashlander, Oregon is neighbor of California sis, we can meet anytime we can make time dancing
Marry thst man mija
Wwdding planning can be very stressful but the end result should be well worth it if you really love each other.
If things become to stressful just elope, its less drama
I love the idea of eloping, Jada!!applause

:laugh
Ms laststrike, " He promised noone will make me as happy as he can."

Both people should be happy when going into a marriage, and should indeed be thinking of how they can offer their future spouse their unconditional love and support. However, ultimately each partner is responsible for his or her own happiness. Certainly your partner should be a positive element that contributes to your happiness, but he or she is not responsible for it. That’s a weighty responsibility to unload onto someone! No one is responsible for your happiness, but you! If you’re not thinking about your own happiness, how are you going to be aware of all that your spouse does to try to make you happy? Best of Luck
have a good chat with him and see if he is the one you want to break up with.

this goes both ways.

but a contract is a contract.
contracts can be broken, how will you proceed?
I was happy about that too LastStrike.
Robert and I might crash your Wedding.laugh

Meaning show up and surprise you.wave
Also Abby,LJ and Cappy ? wink
Sounds like those pre-wedding nerves and a lot of pressure on both of you. Sometimes people are in love with the ceremony of the wedding more than the feelings of the people involved. If there are arguments and sadness about what should be the happiest day of your life, maybe it's all too much too soon and you should slow down and talk it through again. It's about you and him, not all the relatives and friends. Hope things work out. purple heart
wink happy anniversary?
