We are completely changing....

Everything!!

FI and I have decided to cancel everything we currently have planned/booked and get married on an island instead! We also plan to have a big party to celebrate with friends and family about a month or two after we get back. We hope to be able to keep the same date which will allow people time to save money to come with us if they wish to do so.

The wedding as we were planning it seemed to be taking on a life of it's own and I was starting to feel like it was about everyone but us. So we have talked about it for weeks now and decided that we needed to look at what is important to us, not what everyone else wants. At the end of the day, all that matters is my daughter and the man I love. We both spoke to our parents and they were surprisingly supportive and willing to fly to wherever we end up!

Thankfully we will be able to get most of our deposits back and we are hoping to be able to keep the dj and the cake for our party.

I am so super excited! I have been feeling like I am on cloud nine since we have made the decision to be true to who we are. Now...time to start planning all over!
Anniversary

    Congratulations and good for you for standing up.  Things have gone in so many nasty crazy directions for my wedding that my FBIL and his nasty wife threatened to not come to the wedding last night and he wrote some nasty stuff on facebook to top it off.

    I agree that weddings are too much about what everyone else wants.  Yes in the end you have to deal with your in laws and "new family" for the rest of your life, but if they can't be decent enough people to want you to save money then they're not worth your time.

    Which island are you guys going too?

    Congrats!!! You're supposed to do whatever makes you happy, its your wedding!  If going to an island does that, then do it!

    Thanks ladies. We have decided on the Majestic Resorts in the Dominican Republic. It is gorgeous!! I am not sure what we are doing for the actual wedding yet. The resort has a package, but I want to look around to see what our options are as far as old churches or on the beach...

    I am so excited!!
