Rant post alert, really struggling to hold my tongue! We are going away to marry, only having parents, now my parents are asking why we aren't inviting brothers and sister, I've explained because we are funding it ourselves and can't afford to invite alot of people we are having a simple wedding, I would love a big dream wedding but just can't afford it, my parents have never even offered to pay toward it like some do. And I've never asked, we just don't have that relationship. But Even a simple wedding it costly, hence us only asking parents. But Now my parents aren't going because I've not asked my siblings? I feel like I can't win.
Hi it just happens like that sometimes, my Fiances Mother and 2 brothers are not coming to ours I couldn't care less :)
Just tell them u can't afford it n if they want them there they can pay
I don't get on with my sister so she's def not coming. My H2B doesn't have any family apart from cousins but we aren't inviting them or my wider family as we just don't see or spend time with them so don't see the point! Weddings are so expensive I want people there that are close and I spend time with x
That's awful for you. I would have given anything to have my parents at my wedding last year. Unfortunately they both passed away so my son gave me away. I didn't invite any of my siblings though cos I don't get on with them. xxx
You've explained the situation to them that should be enough, maybe they need reminding it's your day not theirs x
I think after you have explained that you just can't afford it, your parents are being a little unreasonable. There are people I would like to invite and can't afford it, and we've even been told we should invite certain people but explained we can't afford to invite everyone. I think you should tell your parents they are being unreasonable. Good luck with it :)
Is a case of you don't want them there or you can't afford to have them there? If It's a cace of you can't afford to pay for them but you want them there. Then explain to your brother and sister that you want then there but can't afford to pay for them to be there. So if they want to come can they pay for them selves? But If you don't want there just go get married just you and your husband, and I'm sure you will have a lovely time knowing you are having that day that you wanted and didn't please any one else (which is how it should be). Xx
Ive had the conversation with our parents...we are inviting who WE want...we want a small intimate ceremony and to begin with they were supportive now we've "had" to invite other members of the family because it will upset so and so and you can't invite one auntie or cousin without inviting the other... well actually yes we can it's our day and if people don't like it don't come!!!
Wouldn't a local register office be just as cheap as going away, that's what I'm doing and all for less than £2000 xx
