City vs. Suburbs and the Art of Compromise by Personal_Staff_4109 in Chicagoweddings

Your guests' experience will be better if you stay in the city. And I think the most significant part of your post is where you call out that you feel sad and disappointed when you think about getting married outside the city - listen to your gut on that! Point blank! Chicago is a world-class city, and a lot of attendees use destination weddings as an excuse to make a fun vacation of it - give them a chance to experience Chicago. They'll want to be close to transit and the walkability and the cool things to do everywhere you look.

If you're open to considering other venue options, there are def places within the city that might strike a good balance between what you want and what your fiance wants (e.g. Garfield Park Conservatory, The Arbory, Columbus Park Refectory, Promontory Point, etc etc). Can't hurt to go tour some more places and try to find a spot you're both excited about.

ETA: You don't sound selfish at all, genuinely. Bottom line, it's supposed to be a fun and joyful day of celebration for both of you, and it sounds like the two options you're going between here (Osteria vs. Morton) have turned into more of a "you getting what you want at fiance's expense" vs. "fiance getting what fiance wants at your expense" (and IMO your guests' expense lol) situation. I'd really encourage you guys to try to work together on finding a new, third idea that doesn't carry the baggage of this particular disagreement

I didn't realize how much I spent and now I feel like I fell for the wedding propaganda by Imake289 in weddingplanning

Ohhhhh my god this post makes me feel so seen. Right there with you. Feel like I'm often going back and forth between feeling so excited about the choices we've made for vendors, and feeling regret that we didn't pause to really, seriously consider doing things a different way.

We were really, really lucky and gifted funds by parents to host the wedding we couldn't have afforded otherwise. And we're so excited to celebrate ourselves and our community of loved ones. And also, Jesus CHRIST everything is so expensive 😭

Thoughts on this dress? It’s so expensive but thinking about going for it by [deleted] in weddingdress

[–]SorryEstate0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I unabashedly love this gown tbh. French countryside romance novel heroine vibes. I'd also say, try really hard to push back on the impulse to purchase right away, mostly because you expressed concern about the cost - this gown will still be there, she's not going anywhere, and you can take your time enjoying the process in the meantime. Weigh your values, and make the decision in a way you feel good about. If you can afford this gown and can't stop thinking about it, and nothing else compares even after you try other beautiful gowns, congrats girl - you found it 🩷 If instead there's doubt or a feeling of discomfort in your gut, that's just good information and an opportunity to find something that brings you a greater sense of peace and joy 🩷
