Update: may have to change our date :(

dordtgrl4

Ok, well awhile back I made a post about having to possibly change my date because of my FFIL.

He is really upset still and now claims that "the only couples to get married on a weekday are the ones who go to vegas and elope". Well, all of us should know that is NOT correct at all. I was seriously offended by this because this was his way of saying it would be tacky. FI says we should just avoid all the drama his father will cause and just change our date.

That being said, our new date is May 19. I'm stressed and slightly upset because it is going to cost us more money but I guess at the end of the day, I have to remember that being married to my FI is all that matters. My FFIL is happy and is offering to pay the difference but it still irks me beyond belief.

I just needed to vent. I'm going to go on a long walk to see if it helps clear my mind. Thanks for listening ladies and all the support you've given me in the past.

I'm sorry you had to change to a different day.

There are definitely ways you can still keep costs down.  I would try to DIY as much as you can (at least the STDs, invites, etc).  Check the DIY and Budget boards, they've been a lot of help to me!

I think you're doing the right thing. I know the previous date was special to you, but it will still be a special day to you because it's always been special. KWIM?

It sucks that you had to change your date, I'm sure it was VERY stressful...but I guess the good news is that you don't have to pay for the date change...however I know that that's not much comfort.

Aw that stinks you had to change it, I had to change mine too for other reasons, I was being the bigger person. It's good he's going to help you pay the difference now and there are lots of ways to save money so you can stay close to your budget.

Thanks! We loved it too.

Thanks ladies. No matter what, I'm not going to let this minor bump in the road get me truly upset. FFIL is paying for the difference and at the end of my wedding day, I'll be married, whether it's 5 days earlier or not. And like many of you said, there are great resources for DIY and budget weddings so we can still manage to save somewhat.
