I just need to vent. FH and I are on a really tight budget. The church we go to is letting us use the venue for free and that's really the only reason we can afford something other than JOP/courthouse wedding. We went to plan out the reception set up today and discovered that the space is tighter than we thought. Waaay tighter. Our original guest list had about 110 people on it (His family is huge. Dad is one of 6 mom is one of 4) and this was after I cut most of my friends so we wouldn't offend any family members. After playing with the space we discovered that if we want to have dancing, then we are going to have to cut our guest list down to about 70 people. Like I said I've already cut pretty much all of my friends from the guest list and now I'm looking at having to start drama by cutting family. I just want my friends and family to celebrate my new life with my new husband. But now I feel like in order to have people there that I really want to celebrate with we have to sacrifice dance space. And even then I couldn't invite more than a handful of people. I've been through so much with my family regarding this marriage. I was raised Mormon and left the church right around the time I met FH, so of course my family blames him. I'm sorry this is so long and rambling. I feel like this is another slap in the face. I just needed to vent to other brides.
