We have only been engaged for about three weeks so naturally we are excited to get planning. I've found a venue,photographer,etc,etc. My family said they would pay and after telling them this and the prices they say "I don't have the money. You wedding is in a year I don't know why you need to book them now." They don't understand things fill up.
I even suggested getting married at a local park, but then they say they want somewhere nicer. They also keep saying i'm caring too much about impressing my fiance's family...
My fiance and I are just over it. As of now, I don't even want to plan a wedding anymore. I'd be fine just going to the court house... I just want to be married to my fiance.... But I guess we will just save up the money the next couple of years and do it ourselves when we can afford it...
Re: Wedding is put on hold most likely.. :(

These are both good options. Counting on people who are already balking at the cost, not so much. I've seen these stories here, and they tend not to end well.
They also HATE my fiance's family and are upset they are not helping pay for anything.. and keep saying i'm trying to impress them..
I find it very contradictory that they don't like that you're "trying to impress" your FI's family (according to them), yet they don't want you to have a "cheap" wedding. Who's trying to impress whom?
At this point, if I were you, I'd just go ahead with your FI and plan the wedding you want and can afford, and politely refuse help or input from your family. If they bring up wedding talk, change the subject.
