This is my first AIBU- I'm a little scared!
Basically my DP and I are getting married this summer. We're having the legal ceremony on a weekday and then a big do with humanist ceremony and all the traditional ring exchange etc with a marquee at home at the weekend.
When we first had this idea we were intending the 'legal bit' to just be us: me, DP, DS (9 months) and two friends as witnesses. I was then informed by my mother that she would come as she wouldn't have me getting married without her there. After a lot of to and fro DP confessed he'd told his parents they could come (his brother had had a spontaneous secret wedding a couple of years ago and they're still upset they couldn't go) and not realising that I conceded that of course they and my mum could go. But then it grew! My dad too. And my aunt. And sister. And brother. And cousins. And all their partners.
And I told all of them that, in the nicest possible way, I didn't want to have to organise that and the other bigger wedding so if they wanted to be there they'd have to sort out accommodation etc. And for the most part they have.
And now DH's parents are stressing. They live 4 hours drive from the venue and are umming and aahhing about accommodation. They might want to stay where we are staying (with friends!). But don't want to impose! They might stay in a hotel. (The venue is very close to a big airport so there are a lot of accommodation options nearby!). They might drive up on the day. And the more they stress the more I feel awful because I know it is their son's wedding but AIBU to wish NONE OF THEM WERE COMING anyway?!
