Extended family complaining!

So FH and I changed our wedding date from 10/26/19 to 2/29/20 (due to venue issues, not being able to find a new venue in a short time frame and just wanting a different/unique date lol). When we changed the date nothing was sent out (no STDs or invites). Well my mom called alot of extended family...
So FH and I changed our wedding date from 10/26/19 to 2/29/20 (due to venue issues, not being able to find a new venue in a short time frame and just wanting a different/unique date lol). When we changed the date nothing was sent out (no STDs or invites). Well my mom called alot of extended family because she was excited that her baby was getting married (like legit I'm youngest and last one to leave the house 😂😂) and told everyone the October date! Mind you, not one extended family member had my number or checked up on me. They are literally only being invited because they are my dad's siblings and side. Well I spoke to some of them because my parents gave them my number *hard eye roll* and they called me to see how planning was going! I told them fine now that we have more time to plan and told them the new date (no one said anything to me or act like they were shocked). Now, everyone is calling my parents because February is an inconvenient month to them to travel because they may be snowed in as they have to travel from NJ/NY. They call them every week to see if I changed the date back to October as its warmer here in GA and the weather from North to South will be fine to travel. My parents told them that FH and I are the one's paying and it's our day and if they have anything to say then to call me! Well no one has called me but apparently my family from the North is complaining to the family in the South about the new date and to tell me to change it. I really dont know why its bothering me so much. Just last year my cousin got married on Christmas eve and not one family member from the north complained and they all showed up for her wedding!

Anyone else have difficult or complaining family or is it just me??!?!

Also we are not changing the date!

    That's what I told my parent to tell them lol. We will be glad to change back to October as long as we are fully reimbursed and they take over planning from here! Lol

    Girllll I feel your pain. My fiancé’s dad complained about everything under the sun. Including our date in which he said “that’s hurricane season” to. Alright thanks dude, we live on the east coast hurricane season runs June to October what am I to do??? Sadly there is nothing you can do about these people except ignore them and hope
    they show up, or don’t depending on how you feel about them. I’m sorry you have to deal with this tho! Don’t let it ruin anything!
