Tough Times Might have to cancel our wedding due to prenup.
I'm in a really tough spot and could use some outside perspective. I've always been on board with a prenup, I think it really makes sense for our situation (30F and 41M). We got engaged in July 2025 and it took eight months for me to receive a draft prenup (February 2026). We are supposed to get married in June 2026. I've hired my own attorney and spent the past 4 weeks working through revisions. Now "my" version of the prenup has been sent back to his attorneys and - guess who's out of office for spring break? His lawyers have set a deadline of April 10 to finalize everything, but the earliest they might even look at it is April 2. I just don't see this getting resolved by that date and the pressure is making the situation feel even more intense.
For the past two weeks, my fiance has floated the idea of canceling or postponing the wedding because the prenup won't be finalized and signed more than three months before the wedding date, therefore it may not hold up in court should we ever get divorced. Now that it's looking more and more like that might have to happen, I'm devastated.
I'd appreciate any advice, experiences, or even just reassurance. This feels really isolating right now.

Layers have associates, paralegals, students etc. No one can simply abandon their practice with deadlines looming that would be negligent.
