I am just curious what the most common reaction to this situation would be ...

You are in the middle of planning the wedding of your dreams and you find out you are pregnant; what do you do?

*poll coming*

ETA - Guys opinions welcome too :)

I would be SO excited I wouldn't be able to stand it!!!! I wouldn't change a thing about my wedding if I found out I were pregnant. (I would have just bought a bigger dress that's all) hehe ;)

If I got pregnant while planning our wedding, I'd want to put our wedding on hold because I'd want to plan out everything for our baby and learn all I could about having a baby. I just know I'd be even more stressed planning our wedding AND having a baby.

I was just thinking about this the other day! I'd continue planning. Although, if I were going to be around 9 months I'd maybe consider pushing it back a few weeks, just in case.

I guess I picked the wrong answer. Oops! I picked that I would continue with the plans and wear a maternity dress. But thats not really true. LOL

If I got pregnant now I would just continue with my plans & wear the dress I have. If I had gotten pregnant when I first started planning, I probably would have bumped the wedding up if possible so I wouldn't have to wear a maternity dress.

If it was even remotely possible to be pregnant. I'm with Elizabeth on this. I'd die of shock too. :bbeek:

But My answer would be to continue with the Plans and wear a different Dress.

Maybe wear a little badge that points to the "Bump" that says "Page Boy Inside" or "Flower Girl Inside" depending on the scans. :rofl:

I actually had a pregnancy scare while planning the wedding, and I was fully prepared to cancel dates with all of my vendors, grab a snazzy blue skirted suit and a hat, gloves, purse, and pumps in a nice color that would coordinate well and rush down to the courthouse ASAP.

I just... really wouldn't want to wear a white bride dress while knocked up, or have people see me getting married while visibly pregnant. I'd feel silly.

In all honesty, I'd put the wedding off until after the baby. Not saying there's nothing wrong with the pregnant body, but I've seen my body pregnant before and I would not want to be in a wedding dress looking like that! That and a corset wedding dress over a bump is just too funny.

That's kinda funny...

Since I'm already married, I would probably just forego my dream wedding entirely. I mean, at that point I'd feel like I really shouldn't bother.

However, that won't happen. My husband's not here, therefore making that an impossibility.

I choose "Continue with plans as is, just get a maternity dress " ... but it would depend really. I would want the wedding before the baby was born, so if my date didn't allow for that I would move it up if possible.

Maybe I marked the wrong one I don't know.:purplex: lol

I would bump the wedding up asap, I would be afraid that I would never actually have a wedding and just end up going to the JOP. The money is usually spent on baby, etc.

What I would like to do is be pregnant while getting married. There is this serene thought I have of a man, wife and child up at the alter wearing off-white of course. But I would never go thru with something like that. There are way too many beliefs and too much drama for me.

I definitely wouldn't wait until after the baby is born. Imagine how long it would take to actually have the wedding....and how are you going to leave your new baby for a HM? It depends on how far off the wedding was supposed to be. If I found out I was preggo now, I'd just continue like normal because my wedding is so soon. If I was going to be big as a tick for the wedding, I'd probably push it forward some. :)

Same here... one side of my family is kind of judgmental when it comes to stuff like that, I'd be the scandal of the family for awhile. I don't have the patience to put up with that.

That, and planning a wedding AND for a new baby? It would be too much at once.

I voted continue with current plans, but I wouldn't get a maternity dress, at least if it happened right this second since the baby would be 9 months old at the wedding.

If it was timed so I would be pregnant at the wedding I would still continue with my current plans and wear a maternity dress. Heck my parents never got married and have 5 children together, so they can't be judgmental. lol

I probably just would have dropped everything, gotten married at the courthouse, and switched from wedding mode to baby mode!

We're already married from a JOP service, so I'd assume we'd just drop the wedding altogether and plan for the baby instead. Babies are expensive and I don't think there would be anyway for us to afford both without going into serious debt! :ooh:

I voted other. I would probably run away and try to hunt down a scientist to build me a time machine to go back to the moment of conception so I could scream "PULL OUT!" Sorry, too graphic?

I wouldn't change a thing.. as long as i wasn't 9 months pregnant. Although.. i think i would kill FH because i told him.. no working on #2 until i can loose some of this baby weight from #1!!! lol

Bwah, I just sprayed my breakfast all over the computer from laughing!

My wedding is in 71 days (!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!AAARRRRRRRGGGGGGGH!!!!!!!!!!!! !) so I would just continue as planned, minus all the champagne I plan on drinking. I've lost a lot of weight since I bought my dress, so I probably wouldn't even need a new one.

In all honesty, if I found out I was pregnant right now, I dont know if I'd be so excited I wouldn't be able to wait to get married or if I would want to hold off on the wedding until after the baby.

Most likely though, I would step up the planning and get married ASAP.
