I know that's right!!! I already have quite a few people who I know I don't have to worry about anymore. I'll end up saving alot of money from now on.

1. FI's father & stepmother - Can't go because they have to put shocks/struts on their car, can't get the time off of work (the wedding is on a Fri - she is a realtor and he is school social worker), need a trailor to get them ready for a move in June (the wedding is in Apr), there are some more, but this post could get long lol!
2. My Aunt - just had to spend $1200 to get her car fixed. She has a Mercedes, her oldest daughter is 21 (not in college) & she has a beautiful home. Did I mention she took her daughter to Miami less than a yr ago for her 21st bday?!
3. BM (Possibly) - BM's wife has just stopped returning my calls / texts. I know her phone still works because she sent me a text like 2 weeks ago to meet her at a bar for drinks! BM told my FI he may have to work now!

 

Bright Side - A lot less Xmas gifts to buy and less parties/gatherings to suffer thru next year!

Congrats Murmel!! 

 

We have dealt with the same issues as most of you when it comes to both the fear of travelling to Mexico and the other excuses. I really don't care anymore. Our families will be there and a few of our friends and that is most important to me. Since Americans don't get any (read 2 weeks) of vacation and it is important for my FI to have his friends there, we are looking into changing our date and move it to the weekend (if there even are any weekends open). My family and friends are coming in from out of country and get at least 5 weeks of vacation/ year so for them that is not a problem, besides they will want to stay at least 1 week to make it worth the long flight. What annoys me though is that when we booked the date we asked friends & family in the US if they would be able to come if it was on a weekday and the same people who said that they would prefer a weekday are now the ones who say they wished the wedding was on a weekend...aaargh!

Oh well, if we can change it we will, no one has booked their tickets or rooms yet so it is okay.

 

We are also moving to FL in 2-3 weeks and I'm starting a new job so I'm kind of stressed and don't have much time for wedding planning.
