Hi all

Just want to express my relief

I can't do it IRL

Bitching and moaning and abuse about my wedding plans. My mum going overboard and expecting a Royal style event, then falling out with me and declaring she wasn't coming Hmm second fucking wedding, she also wrecked the first

So fuck it

No one is coming

We've just booked a trip to Las Vegas and will get married for about $300 possibly by Elvis

The relief 😮

Just needed to tell someone

Sexnotgender · 08/07/2019 17:02

We had a TINY wedding as didn’t want any nonsense.

Yup - you will not regret it. Good choice!

anothernewusername1 · 08/07/2019 17:05

Amazing!!!

We did similar. Was glorious! Treat yourself to an extra special bottle of champagne and rejoice in all the money and hassle you've saved while you drink it. In Las Vegas. Married.

CONGRATULATIONS

BobTheFishermansWife · 08/07/2019 17:06

Have the best time ever!!!!!!

Fluggy · 08/07/2019 17:08

Oh thank you 🥰

I swear she was making a guest list of people I don't even know..

She had scoped out the best hotel in our city ffs

OH and she went to a wedding fair with her sister. To get ideas

It dominated everything. I said I wanted twenty people and to go on holiday that evening

She called me a tramp

I couldn't care less where we get married, I just cannot wait to be with the most phenomenal man

Enjoy! Las Vegas is an awesome place in a 'OMG is this real?' sort of a way.
Have a fabulous time! (I was there in 2017 for a few days and it was great. And hot!

GreenGrowTheRushesOhh · 08/07/2019 17:15

We had ourselves and two non-family witnesses. One was someone we know (and like) from the school run. Wedding breakfast was lunch for 4 at a cafe next to the registry office. Legal side done and dusted 👍

GreenGrowTheRushesOhh · 08/07/2019 17:16

Erm and meant to say: good for you! The wedding’s not the point, the marriage is. Big weddings are great for those who want them.

NeverHadANickname · 08/07/2019 17:17

I got married in Vegas in October! Just the 2 of us. You can literally get married in a drive through if it takes your fancy 😂

Iloveacurry · 08/07/2019 17:20

Good for you.

Drum2018 · 08/07/2019 17:20

Good on you. I gather you won't be telling her until you come back with a ring on your finger. Grin. If I had my time over that's what I'd do. Weddings can so much fuss.

Fluggy · 08/07/2019 17:25

Thank you everyone!!

@Drum2018 you've nailed it..

Not one word shall be spoken about this

We're staying at Caesars Palace

We've been to Vegas before and totally fell in love with the city

My friend went to Gretna Green for all the same reasons. They had a wonderful time and had a small party of all the people they wanted a few months later.

We did this!

Elvis. Little white Chapel. Suite at the MGM.

Still wed ten years later

ALemonyPea · 08/07/2019 17:38

Oh how exciting!

I did similar many moons ago. Parents recently divorced and refused to be in the same room as each other, so I cancelled my big wedding and three weeks later wed at the local registry office.

Knittedfairies · 08/07/2019 17:42

Good for you OP! Can you cope with the fall-out?

DramaAlpaca · 08/07/2019 17:44

And quite right, too.

Hope you have the best time ever.

Backtotheoldhouse · 08/07/2019 17:45

Caesar's Palace is awesome, we stayed there last year. I loved just looking around all the different hotels but I thought Caesar's was the best. Hope you have a great time.

Spudina · 08/07/2019 17:46

Congrats OP. Enjoy your day. Sounds great. I had a quiet wedding too (Italy.) I just really wanted to be married, wasn't too fussed about the details.

Singlenotsingle · 08/07/2019 17:49

Congratulations. Have a lovely wedding.

smartiecake · 08/07/2019 17:51

We got married in Vegas too. It was brilliant. We had a fab time, I don't regret it for a second. We celebrated our 15th anniversary this year Smile
Have the wedding you want. Congratulations it will be fabulous

RosaWaiting · 08/07/2019 17:52

crankysaurus · 08/07/2019 17:53
