Low rsvp Numbers

I'm so sorry your family is picking your wedding to protest your relationship but honestly you only want to be surrounded by people who love and support you and your marriage. I'm sorry that time hasn't made them come around, but let them be stuck in their ways and you enjoy your beautiful wedding surrounded by people who are excited for you!

Sorry to hear of the discord however it's not about them or there approval. What matters most is that you two love one another and vow to stay committed to each other despite what others think or say! Do yall and if the families fall in place great if not such is life!!!

It’s sad that some of them can’t be happy for the two of you. I’d just try to focus on the guests who do come and support you.

I understand why this bothers you, but as the two wonderful individuals posted before me, you guys love each other, and that's what matters the most. I currently have people on FH's side that probably do not approve of the wedding, so when they get invitations, they can politely decline and move on with their lives. It does hurt-we wish everyone can be happy for us, but that is very unrealistic. As long as you have some individuals who will be sharing your day, then all that goodness should be soaked up. I am not in this particular situation but I know plenty, and a lot have dealt with the same issue you're dealing with, but if family and friends cannot see the bigger picture (your love for one another) then it's just going to continue after your wedding. One thing I have learned is surround yourself with positive individuals, and the rest will fall into place. I am so happy for you, and I wish you the very best wedding you can possibly have, and try not to be too discouraged.

I'm so sorry your families don't support your relationship. I hope they come around soon.

I'm sorry you're not getting the support from your family. Use the money that you'll be saving from those not coming and splurge on something amazing for you two and the rest of your supportive guests!

You are both adults and there is nothing wrong with your age difference. If your family can’t accept that, it’s a shame they will miss out on one of the happiest days of your lives. Best wishes for you and wonderful wedding!

I'm sorry to hear you are not getting the support from your family, especially over something so trivial as an age difference. Enough time should've passed to demonstrate what a close and wonderful couple you guys are. Like the others have said, just appreciate those who are there to celebrate your special day, and spend the savings on some splurge!

I got more family disapproval from dating a guy six years older than me than from dating a guy 11 years older than me which makes no sense.just be happy with your relationship and keep being in love and don’t worry what they think

When you're 60 and he's 75, it won't make anyone blink.

Mathing is clearly not my thing. ~sigh~
