Hi everyone,
i am getting married next March and it's all booked but nobody apart from my fiancé and I know yet! We have decided to have a tiny wedding with just two witnesses (we are going to ask his parents) and then go on a four day holiday to Italy.
There are quite a few reasons for this but the main ones are that I have been married before and although I think my family will be very happy for us, most of them won't be overly concerned about attending and my fiances family are the other extreme and will have an opinion about everything- his worst nightmare. There is also a member of his family who disapproved of our relationship as I am older than him(nobody else cared!) but although the rest of the family were supportive, it is still very awkward and I want to avoid a big drama about who to invite etc.
In addition, I have two children with special needs (and another child too) who wouldn't cope at all with a wedding and I don't want a big wedding without them there. We also work together so we want to keep it quiet and personal, although we will tell our families before hand.
we are planning a party later in the year to celebrate with people. And we are thinking of a meal with his grandmother after the ceremony.
its been a big decision but we are happy that nobody will be upset and we are both excited and looking forward to being married. We have been together for a couple of years and love together.
It's all booked and we have the rings (went for palladium in the end!) and the honeymoon sorted.. I just don't know what to wear! It's a very short service and I don't want to wear a wedding dress but I was thinking a pale coloured dress might be a good compromise?
Has anybody else gone for a less formal, tiny wedding? What are you planning to wear??
Thanks for any replies!
