Hey y’all! It’s been a LONG road and I am FINALLY down to ONE month until my wedding and I am FREAKING OUT!!!!! I pretty much have everything and everything is planned. My fiancé & I decided because of COVID and our families that we would elope just the two of us. We went with a very romantic package in the Hocking Hills where we will have 2 nights in a cabin following a beautiful private wedding in a log chapel with flowers, a cake & pictures following with just the two of us. Everyone is pretty much supporting us but I have not told my dad yet. I do plan on telling him but not until 2-3 weeks before the wedding. I feel kinda selfish doing so but he is never supportive of my decisions. If it’s not his way he doesn’t like it. He is very set in his ways and he knows it hurts me. He doesn’t like anything I do pretty much because it’s not “his” way and he’s not in control. This year I am working on putting MY happiness first and worrying about myself. Do you think I am selfish or a bad daughter? All feedback is definitely wanted! Thanks

Hi! I just wanted to let you know that you are very brave and strong for doing exactly what you want to do. My FH and I are getting married in a little less than three weeks and I have not yet told my parents about it. My family is the same way that you have described your dad, very set in their ways. I plan on telling my family this weekend, 2 weeks before. I don't think that you are being selfish at all. I understand the stress and disappointment that comes with speaking to a person set in their ways can be, when you are so excited and sure about something. Hold your head up high and keep that excitement! You deserve it

I totally understand where you are coming from rn. I'm actually dealing with a similar problem, except its with my mom.
I told my FH we will just book the day, then tell my family a couple weeks before so they stay out of our business. I still live with my parents too. If you need someone to talk to, feel free to message me.
