I now understand why brides actually runaway.

My wedding was canceled.  The wedding I had planned for 4 days before Christmas.  The one nobody really wanted to plan or talk about, and yet were polite enough to keep their negative opinions to themselves.  I contact everyone to tell them it had been canceled, well almost everyone.  There were the return calls from the bridal shop just checking one last time.  There was the long uncomfortable phone call from the venue trying to explain for 20 minutes that they were doing me a favor by offering to let me keep my deposit if I rescheduled before March.  A proposition I did not ask them for.  Then I received the Facebook message, wishing me a good day, telling me what a beautiful princess I was going to be.  And today I received our first gift along with a note wishing us all the best in our new life.  So I'm done, I'm broken, and I can only hope I will make it through this week with running away myself and abandoning my family on Christmas.
