First time poster:
DP and I got engaged in June (woo!) and everyone on both sides is really happy. Recently started looking at venues etc and have found somewhere local to us that we both like that is within our (somewhat limited) budget, with a view to booking in for late autumn 2020. Suddenly my DM has lost all enthusiasm and has been suggesting we postpone a year (autumn 2021) - neither of us want to do that as we don't really want to spend the next 2.5 years planning a wedding, but gentle rebuttals have been met with stony non-responses... DM's reasoning is that 2020 is a busy year for our family (series of big birthdays and anniversaries), which may be a valid reason..?
So my question is - would you just suck it up and postpone for a year? I know most posters will say "it's your wedding do what you want" but my relationship with my family is generally really good and I would like to find a solution that pleases everyone (if possible!).
TIA
