DP and I are finally tying the knot soon. We have decided to have a very small wedding here, then a blessing/reception in his native country (we've settled in my country, so I feel this is only fair!).
My parents have been telling us just to elope as they don't want the expense of a wedding to bother with for ages. Since we've told them about our plans, they have spent every conversation nagging me to have the wedding in their town (they live in Scotland, DP is from Central Europe, we live in SE England), and telling me what to wear, when suits them, and generally wearing me down with their constant berating of any choice DP and I make. They have pointed out on far too many occasions for my liking that DS is a bastard and always will be (he is, and I know that, but he's my bastard). I am the oldest of 3 daughters, and my sisters will both have huge flamboyant weddings in the UK, so it's not like they won't have any future weddings to go to.
So, although we are inviting the whole family to our blessing/reception, we don't want anyone except ourselves, DS, and 2 witnesses (our neighbours who are good friends) at the small official ceremony here. We are having it on a weekday due to cost, and as both my parents work FT, it won't be easy for them to get to it.
AIB deeply unreasonable in not wanting them at the small ceremony?
