I have posted about this before but it is still a thing and I just don’t know what to do.
we were planning on getting married earlier this year but I have been really ill and it just went on the back burner plus the stress of trying to work out who to invite due to the fact we are planning on doing a statoury ceremony with only two witnesses allowed being so overwhelming I just couldn’t think about it.
we are now really wanting to think about booking something but again it is just so stressful as we still haven’t told anyone we are getting married. I know it is going to open the floodgates of people giving their opinions or being upset about the two witnesses. We have looked at the next one up which would be 15 guests but we would still have to make hard decisions which would mean not inviting siblings spouses due to size of family. We can’t really afford any more then that and honestly my dp does not want it. He wants to marry me and is excited about it but he really doesn’t want a wedding and nor do I. Even eloping and going away just isn’t in the price range.
its got to the point that even though I really want this I am thinking of just not bothering. I don’t want to upset people. I don’t want anymore stress. In an ideal world we would pick two strangers or acquaintances and do it that way but I know that is probably still gonna cause stress.
