Family and plan changes

Hi everyone! We’re having some issues planning the wedding. Every time we try to make a big plan, it seems to cause friction because everyone is trying to get involved. There’s a lot of family drama on both sides and we’re not really big event people anyways. My new plan is just to take our parents up to the spot where he scattered his dad’s ashes and have someone marry us there, so that way all our parents are there. I’m just wondering how not to offend people and tell them our plan won’t involve guests. Family and plan changes 1

It isn’t offensive - and people shouldn’t make you feel guilty about having just an intimate ceremony- I think that’s beautiful

Do what makes you most comfortable. It is best to make a decision alone as a couple and then inform your families of your decision. Everyone will have an opinion and it gets difficult and stressful trying to keep everyone happy. If you want an intimate ceremony and no party then that's it. My fiancé and I aren't big party people either so we compromised on a intimate ceremony/dinner for our parents and siblings only and will be holding a larger reception later on for everyone else.

Just say you want a very private vow exchange and you didn't want to spend money on a wedding.

Just tell people you are having an intimate, family-only wedding! Especially right now with all that is going on in the world people will understand. They may assume your choice is due to COVID and you can let them believe that if that's easier than having to explain any other reason I hope you enjoy your intimate wedding!
