My fiancée and I decided neither of us are into a stuffy large wedding, with $$ being wasted on flowers & such. We booked a honeymoon & was offered the free wedding at Sandals. My parents are fully supportive of our Just-Us destination wedding. They eloped at a Sandals themselves. They asked if I wanted to change my mind, but I am not one for crowds, spotlight, tradition, or anxiety. They still support our decision. My best friend had a big wedding & I saw how miserable she was that "her big day" wasn't really hers, but a show for everyone else.
Now, I was just talking with my fiancées parents & they asked where it is, when, & how they can book their flight. Even said they never had a honeymoon so will take theirs 20 years late with us. I told them that we are going by ourselves & having a post-wedding party upon our return. They said "but we have to be there". My family is not coming, & no one has expressed displeasure at not being invited. Again, my own parents eloped 25 years ago, so they understand the aversion to traditional weddings.
How can we tell his parents that they cannot take a honeymoon with us? I'm just hoping they'll balk at the cost & decide for themselves not to come, but I don't know how to ensure this. Am I being Bridezilla? Thanks!
