Send help! i can’t make decisions!

Emma, on November 10, 2019 at 7:26 PM Posted in Etiquette and Advice 0 17
Hi everyone! My fiancé and I have been together for 13 years. We always knew this day would come and we would get married but never really pictures how. Needless to say we have partially planned our wedding, save the dates in hand, stamped and ready to go. But I cannot bring myself to send them out. I’m beginning to think a “wedding” isn’t for me. Most of what we have booked is things that have been canceled. I’m saying all of this to get to the point of it being about the love for us, not all the expensive wedding things. I’ve put all wedding plans to a hault and I’m waiting for finalized details from our travel agent because we are thinking about getting married in St. Lucia (where our honeymoon is already planned) with our closest friends and family. I know it sounds totally selfish but I just want us to go get married & unfortunately I don’t care if it makes anyone upset. I should include that we wanted to elope or just take our parents and siblings down to a scenic spot to begin with but things snowballed with all wedding plans. HELP, feel free to tell me I’m being a horrible person.

    I think it’s great that you are doing what YOU want to do and not letting others pressure you. You will be much happier! Congratulations!

    I’ve also been with fh for 13 years strong and I think he would rather do the elope thing but I wanted/want the wedding. But I’m the type that’s always wanted a wedding and that’s why in the last 13 years we never went to the court house to get married. I’m keeping it at a budget around 5-6000. Which is a lot of money but not as much as most weddings. That all being said, you do what you want in a wedding because it’s yours. If you both want to do the elope thing then do that, make yourselves happy.

    I think this is great. You're thinking about it in a practical way. The sentiment is still there but there's no bells and whistles and that's ok.

    Fiance wants the whole shebang and would have had 300 guests had I not reeled that in. Compromise is a Sunday max 100 guest wedding with lots of the non-traditional stuff nixed.

    Before you lose a LOT of money on deposits you can't get back and send out STDs you can't unmail, stop and breathe.

    People will get over it. Do what makes you happy.

    You're not being a horrible person! If eloping if for you, then it's for you - don't let anyone else decide for you!
