My wedding is in early August. We're still holding out hope that we can have it as planned despite this stupid COVID crap that is going on. However, we have recognized the very realistic probability that we will not, so we have a backup in place. The date this year is important to us, so if we can't have the big celebration this year, we're going to do a small, intimate wedding with just immediate family, then do a big celebration and renew our vows on our year anniversary to include everyone else. I have this all set up with my vendors and was actually feeling quite good about either scenario. Until this past weekend when my FH spoke with my FMIL. She basically said that we should cancel our wedding this year and just get married next year because his family has waited a long time to see him get married and it isn't fair to them if we get married this year and just do a vow renewal. That a vow renewal wasn't "special" enough. So now I'm reeling and second guessing everything and worried about offending his family. My FH was wonderful and stood up for our wedding and said that we are getting married this year regardless, but now she's not talking to him and he has been down ever since. I don't know what to do. Is a one year celebration/vow renewal not "special" enough?
