Not wanting to Upset my parents but don't want to make my fiance mad either.

I agree marry him!!! dont let him walk away just cause your parents might be mad they will get to see you all dolled up in a few years and forget all about it

If your parents love you, they'll get over it.

Not to be rude but if your FH is reconsitering marrying you because he is stressed.... isnt that kind of a red flag? I can totally understand getting married in the court house because wedding planning is A TON of work (as we are all finding out)

but its your wedding day too and i dont know... i would at least want my parents to be there.

Isnt there a way he can switch to a different day so it would work for everyone???

For what it's worth, I'm with the FutureMrsPanzeri. I personally would want my parents at my ceremony no matter where it is. I understand how frustrating it must be to your FH to have to change the court house date when you're getting married there to alleviate the frustration of all the other date changes, but excluding your parents from the ceremony doesn't seem like the best way to start off a marriage.

OMG I so much agree with @FutureMrsPanzeri and @Tinkerbell

Everyone is getting stressed out when planning the wedding. A lot of things work out differently then were planned in the beginning of the planning process. It takes a while to find a suitable venue and to make sure the dates work for most important people for you. But considering not marrying you at all because of that??Like seriously? DOn't feel pressured to get married at the courthouse just because you want to appease your FH. If the man wants to get married he should be able to deal.

Also, I wouldn't ever even consider getting married without my parents there. Wait till they get back from vacation at least...

I know its all stressfull but maybe its time for a talk with your fiance?

I can understand why most people would want their parents there, but at the same time I don't look at the Court House being my big wedding day. My big day is when I walk down in my white dress with my Dad. My FH husband was not really about having a big wedding to begin with he wanted just our parents and sisters with a few of our close friends. The planning is stressful but at the same time it's not just my wedding it is his too. I'm just afraid that if we change then it's going to be changed ten more times before we get to do it.

The court house may not be the "big day" but it is important to parents to see their child get married no matter where it is... This is the "real" wedding.. The other is just an re-enactment and renewal of your vows infront of everyone.

Then again it is completely up to you, like others said, they are your parents they'll get over it. But I completely understand why they would be upset as well. If you change it to next week, when they are back or the following.. Whenever.. Make sure it doesn't get changed after that. set it in stone and say no matter what it will not change so if it still isn't suitable for your parents or his or whomeever, then just DO IT and get it over with. Their shouldn't be any reason to rush anyway. Did you know they were on vacation when you decieded to get married THIS week?

My fiance and I went through so much stress over the last 2 years because of people's opinions.I don't nesecarily agree with the courthouse wedding for a first wedding, I actually was able to witness my mom earlier this month do it and it is very inpersonal and quick.My soon to be father-in-law has put so much stress on us, but we stuck to what we wanted and in the end, unless they are contributing, these decisions need to be made by your fiance and you and other people just need to support you and you need to do what makes you happy, why rush into the courthouse, when you can take the time to plan your wedding the way you want it, after the surgery and the pregnancy...It gives more time for perfection and ideas. What's the rush?

If you're still planning on having a "big" wedding, at some point you're going to have to plan it and it's GOING to be stressful at times. I don't know the answer here.
