I'm sure most couples deal with some sort of family complication in their wedding planning. I don't mean to turn this blog into some sort of wedding blog only, but I can only think this type of situation comes up consistently.
My family and I have never really seen eye to eye and I've always accepted that in a sense. Currently my mother and I are in a bit of a disagreement regarding my wedding. The wedding ceremony and celebrating with my family and friends means a lot to me. I am spending a good deal of my money on the ceremony and reception, my hard earned personal money. My mother feels I should do this as cheaply as possible and take of on some extravagant honeymoon. Both of these viewpoint I think are okay, but it's extraordinarily irritating to have someone else's will imposed on your wedding. It's all those random comments and sideways glances. My mother decided she didn't want to go with me to a bridal expo because we already went to one. She's under the assumption that we won't use anyone from this region, and she is mistaken on that, well she never really asked. I figure, how many times does one get to go to bridal expos? And a photographer we're interested in is going to be there, a perfect chatting opportunity.
So my question is what is better? A great ceremony and reception for ourselves, friends, and family and being indifferent about a honeymoon as long as we're happy and together, or going cheaply and having some crazy honeymoon who knows where?

As long as you guys are the ones paying, you should do what you want as it's your money.
ReplyDeleteIdeally, you only get to have 1 wedding, but you can always go on a fun vacation getaway together throughout the years. And really a honeymoon is just that when it comes down to it - a fun vacation getaway with just the 2 of you.
