Kinda need to rant a little. Sorry if you guys don't like these type posts. Have you been in the planning process of your wedding where you are so frustrated with your families that you almost don't want to have the large wedding you want? My family isn't paying for anything or involved in the planning process but has been doing some sketchy things not wedding related that is making me want to not speak to them again. (family as in mom dad and sister not my entire family). Because of all the drama I've been pretty frustrated at the thought of having a wedding when I wanted to originally. Both sets of parents have been making it really hard for us to talk to them and my FH and I really don't know what to do about the wedding. We wanted to have a larger wedding, a nice party to celebrate with family and friends for all the support but honestly now they have made me not want to have something I want. its kinda of weird. We would elope but we have already put so much money down and we really want to have this wedding the way we envisioned. But whats the point if your immediate family doesn't come/ you almost don't want them to come anymore? (disclaimer: I'm not uninviting anyone, I just don't know what to do) Anyone have their immediate family not come to your wedding?


I guess what I'm getting at is have you even felt your family change your mind about having a wedding because they have caused you so many headaches?


Thanks all!

    My mother and her husband were never invited in the first place. It is common and perfectly acceptable to not invite disagreeable people, even if those disagreeable people are family. Have your wedding, regardless of their drama. This is about your celebration of your love. Don't let them take it from you. You will regret it if it you do let them rain on your day.
