WARNING - unethical, abhorrent, vile
WARNING - PLEASE READ ALL THE WAY THROUGH - WEDDING INSURANCE **EDITED AT THE REQUEST OF FAMILY**
We took out insurance with Wedinsure (White Horse Insurance Ireland) in May 2023 for our wedding in April 2024.
Putting it simply, our only concern was that of suppliers going bust or being unable to service our wedding and we wanted security.
Fast forward 10 months, 7 weeks away from our wedding and my dad collapsed, at home and passed away 6 days later 💔
We held his funeral this week 💔
He was 65, healthy, starting his 'gap year' (as he called it!) with my Mum, with holidays, motorbike road trips across Europe, cruises etc all booked.
And the insurance firm won't pay out because my dad had visited a GP in the 12 months PRIOR to us taking out insurance.
The professionals clearly state my dad's death had nothing to do with any current/ previous medical conditions and/ or conversations.
So does his death certificate.
BUT the insurance firm don't care about this. Won't listen to this. And are saying they believe it's indirectly linked!!!
My dad. A healthy 'young' man literally living his life and walking me down the aisle in weeks, gone. Myself and family going through hell, shock, utterly heartbroken. With additional trauma due to this situation.
Some suppliers have been incredible, some not so much. We are looking at a loss of £11,000. And no way of ever replacing that money now.
In comparison to losing my dad it's nothing. In comparison to never having him walk me down the aisle (childhood dream) it's nothing. BUT with 4 children and a wedding and/ or reception to rearrange, we won't ever have that money again anytime soon.
So...
Please, PLEASE look at your insurance. I never ever imagined I'd be in a position, cancelling or postponing my wedding because of my closest family passing away, I'd never ever have even considered it. But if it saves one person this hellish journey, the warning is worth it 💔💔
