So my future in laws are freaking out that my fiance and I have chosen a friday wedding. They were okay with a fall wedding, in catholic church, the works, but at the last minute we realized everything we wanted was booked; unless we chose a friday, and then we could have it all! We didn't bother 'asking' them, we just did it. It think maybe they're hurt that we didn't ask their opinions first, but now they won't calm down about the fact that some people will need to take the day off from work, and find babysitters, etc...We see it as another way to also shrink our numbers a little, but didn't want to say that to them. And they don't seem to listen to the fact that my entire family will have the same issues (yet are remaining calm). Any suggestions on how to get them to relax? They are very traditional and European, and have never heard of such a thing. We've tried to explain we can't have EVERYONE, and this is what WE want, and it's CHEAPER, but they refuse to be happy about this. Any ideas would be very welcome!!
In the mean time, we're keeping our cool as best as we can.
