I've been reading different stories online. You may have heard of someone who planned to get married the following year. The person then find out that her Mom is sick and has only 6 months left to live. The person decides to move up wedding date so that her Mom can witness the special event.

It makes me wonder whether you would keep your wedding date or move up if you found someone was sick and had short time on Earth?
 
If you were going to get married anyway, it doesn't hurt to move it up if necessary to accommodate the sick person. This way the sick person can be part of the event and memories.
 
When I got married there was only my daughter , husband his two sons and the JP and me. So I there was be any reason to move my wedding date up. If someone has gotten sick I would had made it for a later date. A woman did move her wedding date up so her dad could 'walk' her down the aisle . The dad was very sick had to roller down in a bed .
 
I know someone who moved up her wedding date because her MIL had cancer and not long to live.

She died the day they got married, a few hours before they got married. It's been 7 years now I think for her and she's just now being able to look at her wedding day as a happy day.
 
I would move it up if I ever decided to get married, depending on who was sick I suppose. I mean, if I wanted someone at my wedding, of course I'd probably want to have them there and move it. Though I'd be sad.... because I've always told myself if I ever did get married, I would want a Halloween anniversary! :D
 
We started dating in January, were engaged in March, and married in May. It would be kinda hard to have moved it up any sooner. It was a very small, simple wedding, so if we had to reschedule for a family emergency, we could have.
 
The only reason it took me almost 9 months to get married was because I had to be in Britain 30 days first. Otherwise we'd have married at 7 months. It took a bit of planning with my husband's duty schedule and getting our mother's overseas or we would have been married at 8 months after meeting. No deaths though my MIL made my husband take some creepy graveyard photos the day we married to put up at his grandfather's funeral before he died, as we expected him to die within a month.
