DP and I have told everyone we would never have a wedding rather we would pop down to our registry office get married and tell everyone afterwards.
We have booked a tropical holiday for few months time and secretly organised a celebrant to marry us whilst away. We have organised and paid for everything
three weeks ago we found out DFIL has a terminal illness and it's not good at all. We went and visited in-laws and Because of DFIL's prognosis DP told them of the marriage plans. The in-laws said at the time said they were really happy for us.
However DMIL rang DP this week and said it would be good for DFIL to see his last child get married
I know my DFIL and I don't think he wants to attend another wedding he is not at all sentimental. Mother in law however would love to see us get married and I think she thinks a 'proper wedding' is the right thing to do now.
I find organising events and being the centre of attention awful. I have always wanted to get married but never a wedding. I am so shattered with everything
