Hi All,
Please help! My mom is paying for our wedding. My fiancee and I own a small home in CA. We want to travel and so have registered at Traveler's Joy for 2 trips, one to Africa after the wedding and a 2nd on our anniversary next year. My mom and step father are appalled at the registry and think asking $7k in gifts is rude when our current home is small and doesn't have alot of kitchen space so we don't have nice dishes, glassware etc. They think we are not taking the right steps to save for a bigger home and a proper future. I feel she has judged every decision we have made thus far. She's obviously entitled to her opinon especially because she is footing the bill but I'm lying awake stressed at night b/c I don't feel I'm disappointing her. But if I choose her route, I'm unhappy. The only thing she likes is my dress. I don't know how to keep her happy while moving forward with what we want. Are we asking too much with the honeymoon registry? The only other place we are registered is Walmart for 6 small items. Please help!!
