The wedding we want vs. The one my family wants

I think you should definitely follow your vision! You only got to do this (hopefully) once in a lifetime. I’m also an outdoor backyard kind of bride, and the thought of having my wedding in an elegant enclosed space would make me very very sad

Definitely follow your vision!

Also just wondering, hypothetically if it were to be moved indoors why does it need to be moved to the summer to do that? Lol.

R they paying any money towards your wedding? If not, they really have no say at all but even if they are at end of the day it's you and your fh wedding do what y'all want to do and have the wedding you guys are imagining not what your family is wanting y'all to have.


Only ppl that need to be HAPPY is you and him at end of the day.

If you’re old enough to get married, and pay for your wedding, then you get the wedding you want. 😊

PS Do have a weather back-up plan though for an outdoor wedding or reception!

Don’t do anything. Your family isn’t getting married, you are. Unless they’re paying, their opinion is a non-issue.

Do what you want? If the family says anything let them know that them you're not having the wedding you want and it won't be your dream.

Ummm unless they are paying for it then they have no say. I would simply smile and tell them confidently that you and your FH are very sure of your vision and would like to follow through with it. Also thank them for their input and sincerity.

Have the wedding you want especially if your paying for it. I still somewhat regret the venue we chose. Don’t get me wrong it was beautiful as was our wedding but there was another venue that we just loved more but my mom had a problem with it for really no reason and every now and then I think what if.

I am a firm believer in doing what you and your FH want. Families can be very opinionated when it comes to things like this and if you don’t put your foot down from the beginning it will only get worse. Good luck!

Follow what you want. People will always have opinions on what’s nicer, better, fancier, whatever. You don’t need to listen to anyone but your FH.
