I feel like I've been engaged forever without a date set, and it somehow feels like the engagement is not confirmed because of it. I'm starting to feel sick about it. I don't know if it's because of not having a date or the whole situation in general. After my future Sister-in-Law got engaged, my future mother-in-law somehow got it in her head that we need to have a double wedding. We thought she was joking at first, but she got real f-ing serious about it and when we told her we didn't want to do that, she flipped out! She told my fiance to send her a post card from our honeymoon since she won't be at the wedding. He asked her what the heck that meant and she said that since we obviously don't want her feedback, there's no reason for her to attend. Um, all we did was tell her that we didn't want the same wedding as his sister. That's it.
So now we're trying to figure out everything and we don't have a lot of money. At one of the venues we are looking at (it's a restaurant really), they have a really great deal at the end of February if we have it on a Sunday. They are basically waiving all of the site fees and just charging us a minimum food order of $1,000. I think we can manage it if we save a lot and skimp on things like a limo and dj etc... but we wouldn't be able to do our honeymoon right away. I don't know how I feel about that.. Additionally, it's not the fancy places that his mother was looking at for us. She has trashed every place that was on our list. I feel like she's going to keep harping until we give in.
Do you think there is enough time to get everything done in 7 months? I don't have a dress or anything yet. Would you wait? Would you even give her opinions the time of day?
