My fiance and I have been engaged for two years now and have been planning a wedding. Throughout this whole planning process and even before he proposed I knew i would want a small ceromony or to elope. I am 3 months and this process has stressed me out to no end. My fiance and I now want to elope, but we feel guilty about how this is going to make our families feel because they were excited about the traditional wedding process. Has anyone been through the same thing and how did you handle it .

If that is what will take away stress in your life than you should do it. Just be prepared that some family may not be happy. You could always host a celebration brunch or something like that once you were married.

I would try not to feel guilty! Weddings can be super stressful. You and FH should do what works best for both of you, even if some family isn't happy. It's your marriage, not theirs!

What they said! ⬆️

And we opted for a micro wedding. Literally less then 20 people including us, flower girl, photographer, and officiant. I think the official guest count is 15. We felt it was the best way to satisfy our wants and only have guests who are extremely special to us. We’ve had some push back from other family members however I’ve just ignored it bc this micro wedding is more then I originally planned. I wanted to elope as well.

I was considering doing what u opted for, but he and I have such large immediate families that it's probably easier leaving everyone out . Do you feel any regrets for downsizing?

At first I was afraid of what my family would say, but I realized it’s about Us and what we wanted. I have a 5 year old daughter who’s so excited about it and I wanted it to be special for her as well. In the end I wanted the three of us enjoy the moment and make our own memories and traditions.
