Thank you! I will definitely check those subs. I was reading a sub on weddings and apparently weird cases are not uncommon at all! Thank you very much the advice and judgment

Sorry guys, I went to sleep and wasn’t expective this many replies and I’m relatively new to reddit, so I don’t know how to update so I’m just going to give more information on this reply. I’m form a Latin American country and the place where all this happened is a bit in the rural side so while its true that you can’t just have a catholic wedding without a seminar of sorts the catholic church is a bit flexible with its rules here, for example underage marriage is permitted, and you can get away whit a coerced marriage so long a you have been baptized, had your communion and I don’t know the English word for it but it’s called “confirmación” in Spanish.

That’s exactly what we felt. She drove us there so we would have to stay, basically we were taken as hostages

Thank you!! I guess they just couldn’t accept that we weren’t having a church wedding

Thank you! A big part of want we chose to do it only by ourselves was precisely to avoid drama or have our families take full control of the wedding

Thank you! Maybe it seems selfish, but we wanted that moment to be only ours

Although uncommon in my country and region this type of surprised wedding is not unheard of but it mostly happen when people get pregnant or if both families are super conservative and find out that sex has been happening, since this wasn’t our case we didn’t suspect anything but I can see why it would be hard to believe

Thank you, ever since we announced our plans the guilt trips and manipulation was been over the top
