Ok so this is my second marriage (first one only lasted 14 mths he cheated) and this is also my fiances second marriage (his 11 yrs she cheated) and we are getting married at the end of July. We chose to have a destination wedding about 4 hours from where we live. We are going with something simple but what we want (i got married at the justice of the peace first and his mother planned his first one). He has 3 kids and I have 1, so we arent an endless pit of money, but we are doing wveryting ourselves (license, decorating, later reception etc) and I have encountered nothing but negativity about where we are doing our wedding. Everytime I talk to my mother she has to say "i wish ya'll would just get married somewhere around here" every 5 minutes! I am SICK OF HEARING IT! She says it's selfish for us to do it so far away. Am I wrong here, but this is our wedding! Then his mom says little things like "well I don't know about a bridal shower and what is acceptable, we've never had a second marriage in our family before" (she is helping me though) but it just feels like little jabs here and there. She even was saying " i didn't agree with the place ya'll were doing it but i thought if thats where brandon and (said his ex wifes name) want to get married then thats fine, it's their wedding". All of this is really starting to make the whole planning of what is actually my first wedding, not so enjoyable.....So what should I do different?
