Think I'm Cancelling the Wedding - UPDATE MOM RESPONSE

and get married next month.

i am set to get married next october, but for a while i've been thinking about forgetting the whole big wedding/reception and just doing something veeery simple. i've never been one to elope, but i learned that brides get married in central park.

now this is gonna sound typical, but my mom has been making me horribly miserable since the day fh asked for my parent's blessing. it's a lot of stuff and i think that today just did it for me. i'm not gonna get into it.

i told my dad earlier that fh and i are gonna cancel the wedding and get married next month. he flipped. i haven't told my mom yet - though i'm sure it will be a lot of drama and put-downs (nothing new) and she might not even come to the wedding.

i em'd the photog to see when he is available in the month of october, even if at all. hopefully (please pray) he'll say yes. and i'm gonna go see a dress today that i saw a few months ago while dress shopping that i thought was perfect for a park/beach wedding.

please - i guess i just need prayers and hugs.

UPDATE - i just told my mom and she caught an attitude (typical) and said that we can do whatever we want, but just to let her know. and that if i'm stressed out it must be from elsewhere b/c it is impossible that she would be causing me any anxiety. then she proceeded to again justify that her requests are not out of the ordinary and that i should be doing it her way. ultimately, she said just to let her know so that she can be free that day.

Good luck to you and FH. I hope that you do what you both want and not what others are telling you to do.

I have a mother like that too, who is constantly putting me down. Do whatever makes you happy. You deserve it. Best wishes!

I think a lot of people get stress from their parents - especially moms, but you need to do what is best for you! If your heart is telling you to have an intimate ceremony, then go for it!!

Nothing wrong with that. It sounds like a great idea. The point of a wedding is to be married, that's the most important thing. It doesn't matter where or when-as long as you guys are happy.

it's your wedding, your day, your way to proclaim to the man you love how much you love him....do it your way...your schedule(which ever way that may be)...and everyone else will get over it!!!!

If you don't imagine being happy on your wedding day then you should follow your heart. Best of luck.
