DP and I are getting married in March, we have both been married before. Mentioned to best friend and sister that I was making plans and they both gave very muted responses, other family don't seem too interested either. So, instead of spending our hard earned cash on the sort of wedding they would expect, ie civil wedding at hotel and reception (worked it out at about £2500) what do you think to this.
Send wedding invitations to the children, get married in local registry office with me, dp and children, literally get witnesses off the street, have proper photographer, nice meal after for us and children as our 'reception'. We hope to have a two centre honeymoon, will give children invitations at our 'reception' to first leg of honeymoon, week at Centreparcs, then second week dp and I go away on our own.
Just felt seriously cheesed off at the lack of enthusiasm for our big day (dp and I were childhood sweethearts and should have married twenty two years ago, but that's another story!) Now feel that our day should now be spent soley with the people who matter, our children. What do you think?
