Back story-it's a long one...
My best friend is getting married in October. Her and her fiancé have been engaged for 3 years and they've recently come into some inheritance so have decided to use it for their dream wedding. They're having a big family wedding with over 100 guests, I'm a bridesmaid and am very involved in the planning. I'm ridiculously excited, they're my 2 favourite people in the world and I can't wait to share their big day with them.
Here is my AIBU. DP proposed to me on NYE. We were planning to marry in June 2018. However, I've recently found out that I'll be out of a job in September. The pre school I work for is closing and moving to somewhere else I can't commute to. I don't need to work, my wages are just pocket money really and although I love my job, we've got a busy year in 2018, a house move planned and DD off to secondary school so being off work for a year or so wouldn't be the worst thing in the world. DP and I both have huge families and we decided we'd have a small wedding, immediate family and friends only. We couldn't afford to invite all family, so to avoid anyone getting offended at not being invited, this is the best way to do it.
WIBU to push our wedding forward to this summer? We're having a reg office ceremony and then dinner and drinks at a local restaurant. How would you feel if your best friend told you she was doing that? I've tried to put myself in her shoes, and I'd feel ok about it, but I don't know if my view is clouded because, well it's me doing it!
Our wedding will be small and quiet, minimal planning and execution, and I'll still have plenty of free time to help BF organise hers. Honest views, please!!
