Wedding called off
Canceled wedding, Left at the altar, Calling off a wedding
The dress is ready, the guests are seated, and then someone announces the wedding won't happen. A called-off wedding in a dream rarely has anything to do with the real relationship. It's more likely to appear when a big commitment of any kind, like a move, a business partnership or a new job, is approaching and you'd like to be sure. Who stopped it matters. If you called it off, you may be hearing doubts you haven't voiced. If your partner did, the dream is playing out a fear of being disappointed, not reporting a fact. Relief in the dream can be just as telling as sadness.
