She's been dating a young man for a little over a year now. They've been engaged since May and were planning on getting married in March. Last night, out of the blue, he broke up with her. She's devastated. This is her 2nd broken engagement. The last time she was the one who initiated the break up and it was the right thing to do. This was totally unexpected and he couldn't really give her a reason. She's in nursing school right now and has some tough classes. Please keep her in your prayers. She had bought almost everything needed for the wedding. There are 5 bridesmaids who had already bought their dresses also. He didn't offer to help with the money that was spent. All he did was email my sil and tell her he was sorry about the money. He shouldn't have let it go this far. Say a prayer for her please.

Location: Colorado		The knowing of the "whys" would be very emotionally helpful. He might not be able to articulate it now - ever. That has to be hard for your niece.

Better to have it stopped, even at this late date and money spent, then to get married and have things fall apart then. I had a dear friend who had her own doubts shortly before her wedding day. She decided to go through with the marriage as so much time and money were already invested and she didn't want to cause problems for anyone. We tried to tell her that, although uncomfortable, it was better to call off or postpone the wedding than to regret it later. Their marriage did not last the first year if I remember correctly. The concerns she had (and could not articulate clearly) became clear troubles - after the fact.

So many hurt hearts out there.

Sad situation for her now, but I'm thinking that she has been rescued from a wrong relationship. Of course I wouldn't say that to her just now. I'm sure that since her cousins were just married she might feel the sting even deeper. I am praying for God to heal her hurts and for her to be able to get some of the money that she has invested back.

You are a SWEET Aunt to care enough to post here!

Location: NE Central Texas		Praying she sees why God allowed this to happen. To me being only 20 is kinda young to get married. She has a long time to find the right man and to get her career started, that may be where she finds her true love and the man she is suppose to marry, God Knows what he is doing.
