Hi ladies.
When we first got engaged (feb) we talked about it a lot especially with his dad. Who decided we were going to get married this year even though we wanted to wait. He promised us a budget. Work has been pretty slow. He hasn’t mentioned it so neither have we. We have nothing done because we never got to put deposits down. Our wedding party is starting to ask tons of questions since wedding was supposed to be in December. My best friend has already bought mine and her dress. I’m starting to want now and also before just a small private wedding but both of our families are huge and I know it’s my day, my way, my decision etc .. but I don’t want to dissapoint. Also I don’t to regret not having an extravagant wedding. HELP

Hi! 😄 so I was in the same boat! My parents offered me a budget for my wedding and we picked a date and I had a big wedding in my mind but I couldn’t book anything bc I didn’t have the money for deposits yet(it took awhile to transfer). I’m so glad it took awhile for us to get the money because after waiting I finally realized I only wanted a small intimate wedding. Luckily for us though we both have small families so it was easier. I would say do what you want, if you want small then just invite immediate family and grandparents? Our wedding is only about 30 people, also no bridal party which means waaay less stress and drama.

Also smaller weddings mean less money! (Usually) we’re doing a garden ceremony at a beautiful golf course/park and then taking everyone out to dinner we still have an amazing photographer too!

This actually sounds so perfect. How much is this costing you? I’m starting to realize I want a big wedding for show and not because it’s what makes me comfortable.

Hi there Irma
This is a difficult decision, however, I would encourage you to be true to yourself and what you want. From this comment, I get the feeling you’re finding your way back to this.
How does your FS feel? Would your FS rather a smaller wedding also?

I think you need to start planning according to what you can afford to pay without help, if it come up and there is financial help then you can put it towards whatever will make you happiest but if work is slow and he just can't, then what else can you do? The bigger the wedding, the bigger the stress and also the faster that price goes up in absolutely everything. You know what makes your wedding extravagant, its your experience! The people you love dearly, good food and great memories, to be rich in good company, food and times. For as much as I planned down to the detail, all of those tiny details just evaporated into nothing once I walked down the aisle and nothing else mattered. Best of Luck!
