Did you at any point feel like the best thing to do was elope? I'm so ready to just stop everything, tell everyone we eloped, have a small ceremony and then have a small dinner with our parents and siblings. I'm just so over the whole thing at this point. Originally this is what we wanted to do-but my parents wanted to give us a traditional wedding.
I'm sick of talking abotu who doesnt want to make a speech, who doesnt like their dress, my mom hasnt even bought a dress, my sisters aren't letting the other bridesmaids help with the shower, the amount of money a friggin bouquet of flowers cost, my dad's working overtime-it's just all too much-it doesnt seem practical at all...for a 5 hour party!
I feel like all the money they're spending could be put to better use. My fiance supports me either way.
At this point the most important thing is just being married. I hate to have to inconvenience so many people (from Canada, florida, north carolina, out of the country etc.) and put my parents through this kind of stress financially when we can have an intimate ceremony and really nice dinner-and they can either make their home safe or work on getting out of there. I know they'll say absolutely not-have the wedding but I'm being realistic here.
We can use the money we were going to put towards it to either go away or towards our condo.
I dont know what to do.
