DP and I have been together 6 years, have a 5 month old DS and have been engaged for 2 years. As soon as we got engaged I went into semi bridezilla mode planning a big family wedding. Prior to being engaged I had always said (to the horror of DP's mum) I wanted to run away and get married. After a few months of planning, I started to doubt that I wanted a big wedding and then life happened and it kind of got put on the back burner. Que then getting pregnant with DS.
I have now, 2 years later, come to the conclusion I would like to have a ceremony of just parents, siblings, their children and grandparents. But here's the thing - I don't want any form of 'do' after, no drinks, no meals, no reception. Nothing. Literally get married and if people want to watch that they can but then we all part ways. There is some family friction between mine and DP's families which play into this idea but I just don't like the idea anyway. So I guess my question is - what would you think if you went to your childs/brothers /sisters wedding and you weren't being fed after? Oh, we will also make this very clear when people are asked. All opinions welcome
