Over wedding planning.

Hello all!

My fiance and I are very low key. The only things we would like out of our wedding is to get married under cathedral pines and to celebrate with our close family and friends. The rest is all fluff. I have found three locations that have the ceremony pines I'm looking for, within our budget. One is a venue that is perfect but so poor in responding, its taken them two weeks to answer an email or phone call even after our date was set. We have cut ties with them and will not be going back. The other will not let us perform the ceremony in the location I'm looking for and the last doesn't take reservations until the first of the year so planning ahead is hard. We are looking to get married next September but after each failed attempt to create our dream it has made me so sick and tired of trying to accomplish our goal. I really don't want to give up on my dream wedding but I am so close to throwing in the towel and just heading to the courthouse.

We have a one year old daughter and would like to get started on our second child but would prefer to be married first. He has already told me this wedding is for me. He would marry me whenever, wherever, and however just as long as we get to spend our lives together. Do I forgo my dream wedding and head to the courthouse so we can try for our second child or do we wait it out in hopes everything will come together? At this point I am so tired of everything not working that this has become more of a nuisance than a blessing.
Has anyone let go of their wedding dreams for something more simple to grow their family?

    You could go to the courthouse and get married and then do a reception later on how you dream it to be. I think it’s really about how you guys feel. If you still want to try your dream wedding then I would definitely reach out to that one venue again in the beginning of the year ☺️ Good luck in whatever choice you make 💙

    Hey Brittany.

    I’m sorry to hear that you’re fed up with wedding planning. It can be a tiresome journey, especially when you hit some roadblocks, it can be discouraging.

    I would recommend taking some time to think through your two options. Take some of the pressure off yourself, you don’t need to make a decision asap. You could even wait until the first of the year, loop in with the third venue and see if it’s free on the date you picked in September as per your original plan. At that point, you could make a decision on whether or not to go ahead with the wedding.

    As Shelby mentioned, if you want to get married at the courthouse, you can always plan a vow renewal with a reception down the line. Many couples do this!

    Once you’ve your thoughts all together, talk it through with your FS and come to a decision together.

    Sending you positive thoughts Smiley heart
