So I come from a family that is all very religious and conservative (they are LDS if you know anything about the religion) and while I have complete respect for the church and their values, it isn’t what I believe/follow. This is extremely difficult for my family-particularly my mom-to accept in the first place but especially with my wedding decisions. Things like choosing to not get married in a church/temple or wanting alcohol at the wedding, or wearing any sort of revealing dress are causing major tension with my family. At the end of the day, my parents respect that it’s my decision but I don’t want to disregard their beliefs and disrespect them. Any advice on this? Should I compromise and meet half way or just do it the way me and my fiancé want it to be. (Fiancé doesn’t have an opinion about these decisions, he just wants me to be happy ya know).
Keep in mind that majority of my wedding budget is coming from my own savings. Parents are only pitching in a small amount.
Any advice? Do you guys have any family/value disagreements in your planning?? How do you compromise??
