So myself and my DP got engaged 4 years ago when our first baby was 6 months old. We are together 10 years this year. We now have another DD and have finally decided we want to get married and to do it in a registry office for several different reasons. We are both introverts, no money for large wedding, I have adhd so could never manage organising a wedding and don't have lots of friends to invite so very happy to just go in, me DP and our 2 girls and get married. He liked this idea but then said he would like his family to come.
I have had a turbulent relationship with his parents in past since dd born. His mom can be very emotionally controlling and I feel he is saying this out of a level of guilt.
I can wholy appreciate why he wants them there but I also just want it to be us becasue i feel like thats the whole point. We just go and do it, no fuss, no drama no one else involved. if we invite his parents along then I know his siblings will be asking and then my extended family etc etc when I really just want it to be our little family that we have created together.
Please what do others think??
