I don't care about my wedding

It is your day...do you even want a wedding? I know there were moments when I just wanted something with a very few people...but it changed when my FH started talking about what he wanted. I wanted to give him that! Is there something else going on here? You know that we are all here to support you no matter what happens...but most of all...be true to yourself.

What do YOU want? What do you want to remember 30 years from now as your wedding day? If your parents are the only ones who can make it then maybe after your married, go out to a nice restaurant to celebrate. Something a little more upscale than normal.

Just curious, if your parents are giving you a budget and they are the only ones who can come, what kind of wedding do they see you having?

I would suggest to open the lines of communication. Flat out ask your parents their budget limit. Make a few plans and show them to your FH. I did the dancing-around-the-point that youre doing for months, and i finally snapped and demanded concrete plans from everyone. Things are moving along much smoother now.

Welcome to my world.

I have my ideas, but the minute someone shoots them down or suggests something else, I'm all like "okay."

FH is backhandedly planning this wedding only he doesn't know it. I designed the invitations since I have the resources at work to do it, and gave him 2 options, he picked one. I said okay.

He chose the menu - it'll be good too.

. . .and so on. . .

I come up with tasks and we go with his decision. This wedding is bigger than I wanted and the wedding isn't even THAT important to me. I want to be married to him. These are just the details (and in most cases, insignificant, at the end of the day).

Have a destination wedding! It would be less stressful and a lot of fun.

So what if you planned a wedding on the west coast where your friends and family are? Would they do that? Plan what you want, who cares if it's what others expect. You're lucky your parents are paying and not his if they dont approve what you want. No one but you and FH should control this day. If you want a courthouse wedding and then a small reception with a cake and board games- do it! Just take ownership of the day and be happy you are marrying the man you love!

Welcome to WW, Katherine!

Is this your real wedding date? If so, isn't it a little too late to talk about budget now? In most cases, the biggest wedding expenses should be paid by now?
