Eloping because of family issues

Chelsey, on February 6, 2019 at 2:36 AM Posted in Family and Relationships 0 5
My FH and I want to get married either late 2020 or early 2021, by that time we will have been together for two years. I am 26 and he is 22 and we are ready to start our lives together but we have had nothing but issues with his side of the family since we’ve been together, his father and step mom treating him like he’s still a child and his mother is a moocher, she only wanted money from him. He’s met my mom and step dad and they like him, but I’m not sure if he’ll ever meet the rest of my moms side of the family mostly because of my racist grandmother and my FH is mixed. He met almost all of my dads side on Christmas Eve, but the only people that spoke to him were my Dad and one of my uncles. My step mom didn’t speak to him at all much less me, including my step sister who was giving him the meanest mug possible the entire time. I am just over family at this point and do not care who is offended when we get married and we don’t invite anyone, that’s just how I feel right now about the situation. Right now I’m feeling having a few friends and his brother and my mom and step dad as witnesses and no one else. He knows how I feel about the situation and he just wants us to be happy. I just needed a place to vent, let me know what you guys think!

    It seems like your mind is pretty much already made up. Your wedding day should be a positive day filled with love and support, if that’s not what your families are giving you.. you definitely should follow your heart and make it small or elope. You’ll save money and drama. Hope all goes well for you!

    A nice option could be a private destination wedding/honeymoon just you and FH. I know a couple that did that, and had no regrets. They went to a tropical place, got married there just them, and enjoyed a week honeymoon while they were there. Came home, and everyone was happy for them.

    I agree! A wedding is a lot of stress & money. No way I’d do it again if we had that much family drama or unhappy family members.

    Buy a beautiful dress, get a great photographer and choose an epic location to stay “I do” and enjoy the first step in your new journey. Smiley ring

    I agree with everyone above. Sounds like you two would benefit from a nice location, just the two of you, without the negativity.

    Do what makes you happy! You only need a marriage license and two witnesses to get married. You can do a destination wedding or a court wedding with the reception at a restaurant after.
