Wedding with no family...

[Ineedsleepxo]

We are getting married in 2021.

DP has around 50 guests invited all family and friends. I have 2 guests... my two best friends from school.

I kind of feel sad that I’m not going to have anyone there and his family will ask where my family is.

My DS is walking me down the isle, he’ll be 8.

Has anyone else got married or getting married with no family attending?

I have no family except dc. Dh had his df and I had 2 friends at our wedding.
Maybe we(mners) could come as fab cousins /aunts?

Do you have family? Why aren't they coming?

@pretendingtowork1 I don’t have any family. I’ve always wanted a small, 2 witnesses type of wedding because of this reason. DP is very close to his family and wants to invite his aunts/uncles, cousins you name it.

it doesn't sound as if your DP is really listening to you...,

When you get married they will be your family as well, let them celebrate with you. I know it must feel really hard, but by the end you’ll all be family.

What about an intimate wedding. Then a big party separately. Then it won't feel as obvious.
Maybe a good compromise.

I don’t see why you should deny him inviting his family and friends just because you don’t have any. That is not nice at all.

Dp and I are eloping, us 2 and 2 friends, all booked up for 3 months time. I have only 3 family members whereas DP's family is huge, there will be an informal party when we return (few drinks in the pub) but nothing to make me feel awkward for not having family attend

greendale17 I haven’t denied DP of his family at all? :/ His family and friends have been invited.

DP doesn’t know that I want a small wedding. I’m happy with our wedding plans, and really excited.

Guess it’s just today it hit home i’ll have no family there when I got asked about mother of the bride and will my Dad be walking me down the isle :(
