So, phew! So much excitement in so little time.
Here's the situation. My FH and i recently got engaged, although we have been talking about it for over a year. It was all very sweet and romantic and we began the wedding planning!..... Well, I did.... he just told me to go ahead, keep it under 5K and have fun! So after telling EVERYONE the date, finding the perfect venue, figuring out the catering, and buying a few core decor pieces and finish the budget at a WHOPPING $2,300 he has now decided that we are going to the courthouse.
Excuse me?
No. So, when I asked why he said because he didn't want so many people there and he only wanted to remember me, not how stressed he was by all the people (He is VERY shy.) So, okay. I scaled back from 120 guests to 30 and re budgeted the whole thing down to $600.00 - Still my dream wedding, but much smaller. Nope. Still not enough.... I am so hurt and confused because at this point he is saying its a "My way or the highway" situation and after all the 'milestones' I have missed out on/sacrificed.... This was the one day I always assumed I would have... I have no idea what to do... usually we are excellent at compromising... but lately.. not so much... Any idea how to approach this with him? thanks
