Welcome

This site is for couples facing extraordinary health challenges during the engagement period. The illness may be your own, or that of a family member; regardless, it is devastating and can throw all wedding plans into question. Please consider this a place to talk to fellow engaged couples about the unique concerns you share. We'll also provide advice, both emotional and logistical. If you'd like information you don't see here, please contact me at Antonia@modernbride.com and use the subject line "BeMyRock."
