Church weddding and already pregnant

by Iris
(Twickenham)

Help! I'm having a church wedding and already pregnant. I'm panicking a bit about what to do.

Our wedding has been booked for more than a year and my family have spent so much money already - I really don't want to change anything. They don't know yet about the baby.

Do I have to tell the vicar that we're going to be having a baby and that I'll now be a rather pregnant bride? How does this change things?

Both of us have guests coming from overseas and pretty conservative families, so a non church wedding would really upset them...

Planning a church wedding and already pregnant
by: Janie

First - congratulations on your forthcoming wedding and your baby news!

I think you should talk to your priest / vicar about your pregnancy and hope that they will be understanding. It's 2011 after all!

I wouldn't want to start married life with lying to my vicar. If and if he/she is so conservative that your church wedding has to be cancelled or booked elsewhere, I believe that is better than living a lie. It would also be very stressful for you to keep this a secret - which won't be good for you or your baby.

As for the family and friends, you can choose whether to tell them or not before the wedding. I recommend coming clean with your parents as a minimum - it usually only creates bad feeling if these things are hidden, and at 5 months, you may well be showing anyway. But - you know your families best...

Good luck to you whatever you decide. Wishing you a wonderful wedding day and a happy life together as a new family.
