So, long story short, I feel like everything has become a roller coaster ride. My fiancé and I were scheduled to get married in June 2022. My family was going to help us with some planning and financial stuff which we were both very thankful for. My fiancé got a great job opportunity out of state, but that caused a lot of issues. My family decided to back out of helping us completely bc we were moving. We had to cancel a venue we already booked because we wouldn’t be able to afford it. So we decided if we get married earlier, it would make the move easier. Because then we would just put our money towards all living expenses and personal stuff. The wedding is on July 18th this year, and I have to say I am proud of us. We made the decision in March and we already have a venue, photo/video, DJ, rings, my dress, guest list, registry, and I’ll have invites and flowers ready to go by the end of the week. And we are doing it on our own. We went from 150 guest to 90, but I’m sure not all will be able to come. My family has been okay with our decision but I have gotten some snarky comments but I block it out. We’re paying for it all so it doesn’t matter. So when we made the decision of moving up the wedding, we said let’s have our MOH/ best man and our best friend next to us. We thought it would be stressful for everyone to have to drop money so quickly on tux/ dresses and all that. We said yes to that. So my MOH booked me and her a makeup artist and my bestie said she’ll do her own because she’s an MA too. So we went to our tasting yesterday and the chef ask about our wedding parties. I told him what we agreed on, and my fiancé just had this “ehhh” look on his face.
I was confused.
Out of nowhere he hits me with, “ I think we should go back to what we had for our bridal party” what??!!! Since when??!! I told him why would you change your mind now? After my MOH kinda got everything together. I understand he wants his boys up there but my god I wish you told me that. Add another stressor to everything. Through our engagement my fiancé has been so back and forth with decision making it drives me crazy. I told my bridesmaids and they are on board and I started looking at dresses. I’m just so concerned about telling my MOH (who is my sister) because I don’t want any pressure on her to book more people to help with the morning of. I already told them I don’t need a Bach. Party or bridal party because it’s cutting close to the date, but I was furious. He doesn’t understand that bridesmaids is more work. I just don’t know how to tell my sister
