Everyone's bringing me down

Becca, on August 4, 2019 at 7:42 PM Posted in Planning 0 10
Throughout this planning process, I've been told I put too much consideration into other's thoughts & feelings. Tried picking a date not too close to any major holidays or birthdays, putting kids in the bridal party, and such... So when I chose my venue, I chose for me. What I felt was beautiful and where I had a special feeling that it was perfect. My fiance felt it too. Plus, the price is perfect for our budget.

But now, out of state guests are trying to make plans and everyone is complaining that it is too far, it's in the middle of nowhere, there's nothing to do, etc. They talk amongst eachother and say the distance is such an issue. It really just has me feeling down.

    The way I see it, they don’t have to attend.

    Don’t worry about them. The day is about you two. You love the venue and that’s all that matters. If it’s too far for them, that’s their loss.

    Yeah I can relate to this. I didn't want to pick a venue that was out of state or too far because I was thinking of others. My fiance on the other hand does not care lol. We did find a venue that we loved that was actually in our city. We made it SUPER CONVENIENT for others, it's in the city, we have velet service, open bar and it's on a Saturday so no one should complain right? WRONG!!!! My cousin said oh no that's my birthday weekend. So I say all this to say, if they love you, they will be there no matter the day, time or distance. I have taken off of work, traveld to different states, spent $$$ on hotels, special attire and other things for many weddings; and I did it because I enjoy that person and they invited me so I made it happen. It's about you. This is your day, you keep pushing and let them toss and turn about if they're coming or not and you party and make it the best day ever with the people who are there! Good luck! Remember you'll be fine either way!

    She's right. Straight up, people will move mountains to make it to your wedding if they actually care about you.

    One of the problems with having a wedding in the city (or by a major airport) is noise, expense, and traffic. So you can't win either way. Might as well go with the venue you love.

    Don't worry about them !! They don't have to come if they don't want to -_- I hate guests like that. It's like we invite you to come to our event, not making the event catered to you, ya know ? It's your wedding day, have what you want. Guests are there to support and celebrate with you. So if they don't want to do that then they don't have to.

    Awww hugs to you. Your wedding should be what you want and where.
    I agree, those that love you most will be there.
    The most important thing is that you are getting married in order to share your life together.

    It doesn't matter what opinions are being expressed. I think it would be so much fun to travel to a wedding and enjoy rest and relaxation afterwards. Nothing to do??? Music to my ears.
    Hold your head up and enjoy your day! Forget the naysayers!
    You've got this! ❤

    The way I see it..if it's too much if a hassle for them..youre better off without those people. Lessens the guest list/expenses. Like someone else said, if someone cares about you they'll be there.
