Family to be making me angry!!!

Ok listen up everyone to an older and experienced Destination Bride.

A destination wedding is, and should all about the bride and groom.

If it ends up being just the two of you and you have to have a big reception back home after then so be it. This can also be great fun.

Don’t let anyone tell you what you should do, or what you should have on your big day.

Destination weddings are much more simplified then a wedding at home, can you imagine how these people in your life would behave if the wedding was at home, you would loose your mind.

Send out your invites and who ever comes great, and who ever cant don’t worry about it.

DONT LET ANYONE EVEN YOUR PARENTS TAKE THIS MOMENT AWAY FROM YOU AND YOUR HONEY.

I am helping plan my sons and daughter in law to be wedding, and if they ever told me to back away I would.

Don’t feel guilty, this is your time, your dream and your day...We all have our moment, don’t let anyone spoil yours....


MOB…..mother of groom

Awww... I'm so sorry you are having to deal with this! It totally blows, but the important thing is that you are marrying the man of your dreams... and who knows? Maybe they'll come around.

I understand what you are going through. The exact same thing is happening to us. We thought everyone was going and now suddenly money is an issue (even though the price hasn't changed since we told them and they agreed four months ago! It really sucks for my FI becuase I feel like he doesn't have anyone there for his big day and my friends and family are all coming.
Hope everyting works out for you.

Oh I sooo know where you are coming from.

Unfortunately for me FMIL and her new hubby are going lmao We've had the same thing from my family AND his friends and my response has been "oh shame you can't make it!"

We discussed a DW years ago and FMIL said (oh I remember lol) "now don't leave it too long because ** is getting on!!" I asked who that was and she said her brother!! I mean by this point i'd been with FI 3 years and never met him lmao My response "he isn't invited" that killed the convo lmao

She has been told in no uncertain terms to back off or i'll rip her head off - FI made me promise not to talk to her about it lmao

So my advice, say "shame" then promptly extend your right hand fold back your thumb and 3 fingers leaving the middle finger upright and shove it right up lmao

We have been faced with the same issues. My Mom's side of the family has been all for me having a DW for years, and now I might have one cousin that is getting ready to book! FI's immediate famiy were all saying they were coming and his mom just booked on Fri and that is it. We leave in 2 1/2 months and it doesn't look likely for many more to book. I almost have more coworkers going than we have family. You still have some time and they may change their minds again, but just do whatever the two of you want to do, not what everyone else wants you to do!
