Wedding with no family

View Quoted Comment Glad to help❤️

I am so with you here!! Parents divorced about a decade ago (right before FH and I started dating) my dad was only around for us, no mom, and then I was so close with FH mom and 2 sisters. Well, year or so ago we had a huge family fallout with FH side, (he stood by me so he doesn’t really speak to them either now) and then my dad got remarried and step mom is not very nice and I don’t talk to dad either and we were so close.
Soo no parent dances at all and my younger brother is going to walk me down the aisle. Definitely know exactly how you are feeling😞it’s tough, it stinks, everyone around you has their mom throwing them parties and being there for etiquette advice and all that. Dad waking down the aisle is such a big thing in our lives but I’ve accepted that it’s not going to be that way. I am with you there, definitely worried what FH side will think (the rest of his family) but rest of my aunts and uncles know the situation and especially my FH knows and that’s what’s important.
You and your FH are creating a Brand new life and love together! Ik it seems like it matters now who is there the day of, but it doesn’t. If some of the puzzle is missing, you guys will fill in the pieces together. There are no right or wrong answers here, other than doing what’s important for you and what makes you and FH happy! If you need to talk, shoot me a message! Sending virtual hugs and warmth your way girl! You seem strong and confident and that’s so big. Focus on the people who will be there cheering you guys on when you tie the knot!💕💕💕💕 God bless

View Quoted Comment How did I miss this message?! You are awesome. Thank you so much for your response. Definitely FH sticking by you is great. Same here, our bond is so strong! Yeah it’s tough only the fact of the whispers but I don’t care. We have been busting our butts with no help. This day is about us. I do not feel like I’ve lost anything. But hey I’m on YouTube a lot and see a lot of women walking solo. 😊 thanks for the virtual hugs! This was an uplifting post!


And congratulations!!!

View Quoted Comment You are so so welcome friend!!🥰🥰 love that meme too!!!!! Big hugs!

Asia, thanks for being vulnerable enough to share. I'm in your same exact boat but opposite. I have a large close family and we do everything together. My fiance's family is very limited b/c he was born in another country - Jamaica. The few m=family members he has here are scattered. His mother just passed away 2 months ago, to make matters worse. My fiance is naturally very shy and I don't want to draw attention to who'se not there on his side. Because of this, I've chosen to have an intimate ceremony with just the pastor, he and I. Perfect timing, considering COVID restrictions. When I shared my final decision with my mom to move up my wedding day and have it private, my mom flipped out and was angry. This isn't "what she envisioned". However, the most important thing is the love between you and your fiance. I can imagine you may feel awkward. Share this with your fiance. Have you started wedding planning just yet? Do what feels most comfortable for you and him only. And remember, everyone has a unique family story but together, you and your fiance are starting the journey of creating a family of your own.

View Quoted Comment Hey Idk how I missed this but you are absolutely right. I’m not uncomfortable at all. He wants a big wedding we are making it happen. So we will see. But I’m definitely following the guest list and will adjust accordingly lol. We already cut back 50. Lol
