Hello,
I am starting to get overwhelmed and annoyed with this whole wedding planning thing because I feel like everything is wrong and inconvenient for my family. I apologize for the long post and it is mainly a venting situation. We have been together for almost 7 years and have been engaged for a year and a month. Our date is 3/10/19 and I just sent out things and am gettin backlash on our wedding date. It is only my family, the bride, causing issues. So we first started planning and thinking we would do it in December of this year but then everyone said no because of the holidays, my dad takes his vacations, my brother is having a baby, and more. So we finally decided on March and are still getting backlash about it. Now I understand that my family has to travel to another state because my dad and brothers live in a completely different state so I understand their frustration. I am just extremely annoyed that I feel that no one is being supportive. My brothers, dad, and mom all think that we are rushing it. I don’t think that we are. We have been together for 7 years and engaged over a year. I feel like it’s time. My parents marriage didn’t work out and so they are both against marriage but I still want to get married. How do I deal with this? Today my dad said he might not be able to make it because he was planning a 2 week vacation during that time. I had no idea but I already sent out the save the date cards. I’m extremely hurt and over it already. We wanted a very small wedding of 15 people and there is still drama starting. I feel that my parents are not being supportive at all and are just trying to find a way for me to not get married even though they like my fiancé. I mean he’s not a doctor but he has a job, treats me well, and doesn’t do the stuff my dad did to my mom. I just don’t get it. Why do they think we are rushing? Why is it inconvenient for them? I mean if they can’t come they can’t come. I am just having a hard time dealing with this. Please help me. If anyone has advice or has dealt with this in the past? Thank you.
