How will my family and friends feel if I cancel the wedding?
It won't look bad at all if you decide to cancel your wedding. Realistically, your family wants you to be happy. And if anyone tries to give you any flak for canceling a wedding, they're not a good friend, or they're not a good relative or what have you. It's a lot easier to cancel a wedding than file for divorce. And realistically, filing for divorce means that you've already mixed assets, you've already done things like that. So it's easier to just say, "Look, I was planning this party which happens to be a wedding, and I'm deciding to cancel."
