We got engaged in March and don't want to get married until we have bought a house and saved up - so are happy to wait a couple if years.
However, my darling nan has terminal cancer and has just been told she has 3-6 months to live . She has been so excited about the wedding but now won't be there - a thought that just kills me.
So we are thinking of having a quick wedding soon, then having Big White Dress Day in a few years as planned (we both really still want the whole shebang at some point).
I guess I'm just looking for opinions on whether it's the right thing to do, how to do it (she can't go for longer than a few hours), after ceremony ideas, and really if anyone has had any experience of it?
What I don't want is for people to think we are milking it or to be annoyed if they're not invited to the first one. We really would like close friends and family only.
