Hello... I need to ask a question, and this is the only place I knew to ask. I am getting married again at the age of 34. It is the second wedding for both of us. When we announced our engagement, we let everyone know that we planned to go to Las Vegas alone and get married. This, we said, would alleviate the need of everyone to make a big fuss. My first wedding turned into a mess due to feuding families and a lack of enthusium from my mother about my groom. Everyone (our friends AND families) protested and insisted that they wanted to be included. We felt bad and decided to host a wedding at our home. We are already living together and are comfortable financially. As I began to plan the wedding, I noticed that no one wanted to step up and participate. My bridesmaids and maid of honor all disappeared into the wood work. As the deadline for them to order their dresses neared, two of them cut off all contact completely and still haven't resurfaced. My mother avoids all wedding related topics. The grooms family isn't stepping up. My friends are no help. 6 weeks till the wedding, I called it off. I sent an email telling them all we were going to just go to Vegas due to "circumstances". My one remaining bridesmaid insisted on throwing me a shower. She invited all of the women on the original wedding guest list. 8 people showed up including me, the hostess, and our moms. I opened 2, count them, 2 gifts and received 2 gift cards to starbucks for 10 bucks each. My question is this... am I being a baby and unreasonable in thinking that this sucks? I feel like I'm worthless to all involved! What happened to celebrating my marriage plans?
