Hi all,
My FH and I made a small deposit on a venue and set the date. My parents claimed they would help with the next deposit and also committed to a number that they would contribute anyway, but my parents are really bad with money and I know they won't even have the next deposit amount which is not a lot at all. We went into this relying on them because they were insistent that they would contribute, but I just don't see it happening.
Now, my FH and I are about to start the conversation about eloping. Aside from other issues with my parents not being okay with my venue's 100 person limit (big Italian family), this is turning into something that doesn't feel like my FH's or my vision.
I'm not sure if eloping is the best option, but I'm not sure that continuing with the venue we've already selected is either. I would love some input if anyone has faced this issue before with their parents and how they resolved it.
