My bf and I have been together 4 yrs, he proposed and I said yes of course. But he was hesitant to have a wedding. I didn't mind eloping but with a little discussion we agreed to have a small wedding in my families back yard. It took 3 months for him to tell his family we were engaged because they are super possessive of him. They are invited but the wedding isn't for OVER 8 months.
His mother informed today there are 200 or so people she wants to invite. We have a cap of 30 people at the wedding and a strict stipulation of NO KIDS ALLOWED as my parents have a deep therapy pool that can't be secured.
She says that we need to invite all these people because they all have invited her to their weddings and their kids wedding. She says they won't come but I have my doubts. The bf is popular with his old community and is the golden boy of his family.
I want to elope now. I am so fed up. Sh wants us to register for gifts. We don't want or need anything. My parents are hosting my wedding and I feel like they should have a say in who is invited. It is going to be super simple and I feel like she is trying to take over. I cant afford a big wedding and nor do I want one.
I want to strangle her. I explained my point of view and she says, I am not listening that these people that she wants to invite won't come. I dont agree. if even 1/8 the people she wants to invite come I will be overwhelmed.
She acts like I am being a bridezilla. I'm not. I want my immediate family and my 2 best friends to be there. the bf is inviting his 2 best friends and his mother and sisters. of course those people will bring their partners so the guest list filled up pretty fast. I know this is her only son but it took me 3 months to get HER invited to my wedding and now I am regretting it.
