I'm so over people trying to make me feel guilty for having a wedding!

It's annoying to hear oh my your spending all that money for a party it could go towards paying off your car, down payment on a house, luxurious honeymoon etc. Just elope and save money, or my favorite when they say when i get married I'm not doing that I rather save money for.... I don't even talk...

I don't even talk about the details to people. I've declined a few social outing to save money and I got a weekend job for extra money for the wedding and my friends and family think I'm "stopping" my life just for a wedding.

My mom keeps saying I'm spending money on "nonsense". Even my MOH has thrown in some comments. I ignore it for the most part. Has anyone else been through this? or Does anyone have any advice on how I can respond to all the negative?

    I would respond "Unless you suspect I'll be asking you for money now or in the future, then there's no need to worry."

    Best response is to ignore it. Do what makes you truly happy. If they want to say it, let them. People will always have something to say, whether you do something good or bad. You have to live with the consequences of your decision, not anyone else. If they were you, they would have spent that money on car or house instead of their wedding, according to them it’s a waste. But this is YOUR wedding, you must do what feels right for YOU
