This is really random but I’d like some input (if you’d be willing!)
Myself and partner want to marry, however, we’ve never been keen on the traditional event so we’ve decided that for the actual legal part, we’re just going to do this secretly with 2 of our friends.
Later on down the line (we’re talking weeks maybe) plan to get our nearest and dearest together for a big bash under the guise of a birthday party. When actually it’s a “hey, we got married a little while ago let’s all get drunk and dance” kinda thing.
There’s a lot of family drama which puts me off doing a traditoonal wedding as I can’t be arsed with the politics “why didn’t you invite so & so” and I reckon some people wouldn’t come because I didn’t invite X Y Z SO, the secret, very small-scale mini wedding followed by the surprise party suits us just fine. However unsure how to sell this “party” as we’d preferably liek to do it in the summer but both our birthdays are in the winter. 😬
