Did you say “I do” when you wanted to scream “I don’t!”?

We’ve talked to hundreds of women who said “I do” when they really wanted to scream “no, no, I don’t!”  Why do they go through with it? There are a lot of reasons. Here are a few samples from our interviews:

  • “It was too late to call it off!”
  • “I wanted to get married–and it seemed like a good idea at the time.”
  • “We had been dating for seven years and I didn’t want to throw away that time.”
  • “I thought he would change.”

We’d love to hear your reasons…and any advice you can offer other June brides who are struggling with cold feet.

Here is some advice from two of our wise facebook fans:

  • If you really don’t want to marry him, please don’t. It’s better to cancel now then to walk down the aisle and regret it later. It’s never easy to walk away, but it would be easier before than later.
  • Listen to your gut and chalk up the lost deposits as being cheaper and less costly emotionally than a divorce.

We interviewed hundreds of women for our book. The women who canceled their weddings had no regrets… but the  women who got married anyway had plenty. Saying “I don’t” is difficult, but it’s a lot easier than being married to the wrong guy! What do you think?
