Are there different rules for dealing with vendors if I cancel my wedding because of an emergency?
Cancellation for a death in the family or cancellation for something other than what we call, in the industry, a change of heart. Meaning you just decided that you're not getting married, you don't love that person anymore, whatever it is that you've decided, those type of things are always negotiable. And vendors will have a much easier time giving you the benefit of the doubt if you have someone pass or if you had a huge issue with something like that, or you personally got sick, than just saying, "I've decided not to get married."
