I've gotten so much backlash on other wedding forums and facebook groups. Being told I am sneaky and deceptive or just trying to mooch money from guests on a "fake wedding." My hubby and I married Feb 2023. Our son was born in 11/22 and he just legally adopted my daughter from another relationship. We were so excited to get married and wanted to plan it at all and do the big day. But my mom was just so against it. She's against everything I want to do in life. She had no issue when my brother and his wife did the same exact thing. Married at the courthouse then wedding two years later. In fact she funded the whole damn thing. He's always been the golden boy. ANYWAYS, that is why we ran off to the courthouse with our kids. I got sick of her being so negative about me wanting a wedding. But now, I really wished I had ignored her and just did what my hubby and I wanted to do. I missed out on the first dance, father daughter dance, father walking me down the aisle, bridal party, grooms party, ALL OF IT. Now we want to plan for a "wedding" for 2025. Am I in the wrong for doing this? Can my dad still walk me down the aisle? Can we still have our bridal and grooms party? How would I word the invites? Now, not everyone knows I am married. They just know he and I are still together. Just my parents and us know. How do I even begin planning a wedding that isn't "real" cause Im being told I am wasting money for a wedding sham.
