Engaged for just over a year. Have lived together for years and own a house together.
We have been in no big rush but since the one year engaged mark we have been getting more serious about planning. He has been so amazingly supportive of everything but we have such big dreams and a pretty tight budget. We have set but not announced a date for 2019 but I want to have all of my vendors set by January 2018. (Yes everything here is already taking reservations for 2019 and filling up fast)
Ok so my problem. I am stressing and struggling and worrying because we are doing it all on our own. No one is supporting us financially and yet every freaking family member has an opinion on how we should do it! I am so tired of being told my extensive research and planning is so very flawed like why don't I just serve pulled pork! Really my mother the mother of the bride thinks she's just gonna stay in the kitchen serving pulled pork all night! Ugh is anyone else having opinionated family problem
