So my partner and I have decided to get married next march after 2 year engagement. We have spoken about getting married for years and both agreed we hated the idea of a big lavish wedding, it just isn't us. We want to be married in a registry office then get in the car with our 2 yo ds and drive up north and have a little hotel mini break just us. Thing is we really don't want anyone there, we know we need 2 witnesses but apart from that we just want to get married and go have a break.
I've really fallen in love with the idea of us doing it that way and for me it's really romantic, I realise some people will think wtf.
But it's already causing tensions with some on both sides taking offence thinking that it's some kind of personal attack to want it to be just us. It's wearing me down, even when we explained surely it's our day and we should be able to do it how we want there is still drama. Our friends and most of our families are really supportive but some are driving me crazy!
Do you think we are being out of order? Should we invite our immediate families?
