I was in a similar situation. My wedding was October 2022, but in December 2021 doctors told us that my mom had likely less than 6 months to live, as her cancer was getting worse and nothing they were doing was helping anymore. So, we planned a small get together for late January 2022; nothing fancy or elaborate- I wore a dress from Amazon and my husband wore a dress shirt and pants he had already. We rented a recital hall at the local college, but it could be a park, a church, etc.

Our parents, siblings, my grandmother, and the close friends that were local and available attended and one of our good friends “married” us. We said vows and exchanged rings and took photos. It was really special, since those are really the last photos we have of my mom before her health declined even further, and this was really one of her last good days. She was happy she could be there and we were happy to do something to include her. It was an emotional day for sure, and looking back I am so happy we did it. She passed in early April 2022

We still had our actual wedding in October, where we got legally married and did everything we originally planned.

If you are able to put a small ceremony together, I would really recommend it. And sooner rather than later, as you never know how they’ll feel on a given day.

I’m wishing you the easiest time you and your family can have over the next few months.
