Hello!! I love the way you set up your wedding! I am doing pink and grey also, and I have been searching and searching and SEARCHING for a tie for my fiancee.I am so obsessed with the one you chose. I live out in missouri, but am looking online for one. I cant find anything that even comes close. Can you tell me where you got his? It would make my life so much easier.
Thanks so much
Cara
PS your wedding was beautiful

It’s your wedding so do it the exact way you and your fiance want it.
I am a bridesmaid for a friend who wanted the same thing as you only they gave into the parents and are having the big 400 people wedding. They have not enjoyed all the planning or anything and it’s only now that they are a few weeks away from their wedding they are just getting excited.

Do it your way and only your way. Everyone else will get over it but you don’t want to regret doing ‘your day’ the way others want.

You have to go with your own wishes on this. She probably has attended many weddings of friends and family and wants to invite them as a reciprocal social event.

YOUR wedding, YOUR choice! If the inlaws don’t like it, they don’t have to come!

Comment on Wedding dress question. would it be inappropriate? by Shannon H

The white wedding dress used to signify purity. Now it simply means that you’re a first-time bride. So go right ahead and wear the dress of your dreams. Just don’t wear your bridal veil over your face; in some areas or cultures that does still signify purity.

Y arent your fiancee solving this conflict? Its actually HIS responsibility….
I understand how u feel. Sometimes old people feel very insecure n its occasions like that that make them feel valued and in-control again.
Y not have a private session that u want, n proceed to have the BIG wedding ceremony afterwards? By doing this u’re sending a message that u stick to your own decisions, but at the same time, do care about what she wants. tell her either she agrees to it, or no huge bash at all.
by the way, congratulations!

They say when you get married, you marry the family as well. It’s true.
For your wedding day…do exactly as you please. Small, intimate with just those closest to you!

But, for the sake of peace and harmony (because believe me, you will want it for years to come), tell the future MIL that you would be pleased if she wanted to plan a family get together the following weekend to celebrate. Nothing formal, but that you would be honored.
Remember, while maybe your parents aren’t into a big pomp and circumstance, his parents may be. Parents dream of the day when their child meets the love of their life and gets married. It doesn’t matter if you are a boy or a girl. Every Mom wants to beam with pride.
I am not saying forgo your wishes…but meeting halfway will make things much smoother in the years to come.

Comment on We’re having a signature purple drink at our wedding reception, suggestions on cocktail and name of cocktail? by Mar Mar

I think you should make the purple drink, garnish it with a pear slice and call it “the perfect pear” It sounds so cute!

A white dress is fine, just not a big wedding gown. Your circumstances are different than the big dream in your head, and you should be mature enough to realize that!

Have the weddings of your dreams! Since you and your fiance are agreed on this, have him tell her firmly but gently that this is how you both want it and that’s that. Maybe you can compromise and she can throw a party for you two once you get back from your honeymoon for whoever she wants to invite. That way, you get the wedding the way you want it and she can still have her big party. Oh and if you’re having a tape made of your wedding, you can play it at the MIL’s party.
