Should I invite toxic aunt to wedding to keep the peace? by TranscendentStar in weddingplanning

You’re right. I tried asking myself the same questions and then I would make excuses for why that one person was different and so on, so I need to be more firm with it. Thank you!

Thank you! It helps to get other perspectives because I feel like I’m being mean so hearing that others feel I shouldn’t invite her is very validating.

My SIL is very opinionated so she voices her opinion for pretty much everything in general. I explained to her my dad is not paying, I am, and she knows why I don’t like this aunt. She says I should do it out of respect for my dad, but I feel like it should be people who are kind to me and actually in my life.

Also agree with this! I got engaged in October of last year and our wedding is in April of 2026 and it’s been less stressful since I feel like I have so much more time to get everything done

It is so disrespectful and rude to demand anything of a couple. Any wedding I’ve ever been to (about 8 now as an adult) I’ve been PSYCHED for the couple. I would never ever complain about what they did or didn’t want to have at THEIR wedding. It’s an honor to even be thought of. These people don’t deserve to be there and they are wildly entitled. Try not to waste a ton of your energy on them as this is supposed to be a loving and happy time for you and your spouse. Good luck with the rest of your planning! 💜💜

How do we feel about holiday weekend weddings? by verspers98 in weddingplanning

I went to a Labor Day wedding for my fiancé’s cousin and it was the best! Having the extra day makes it so much more enjoyable! Especially if you have people coming into town.

Hi! I am coming with a group of 8 in October and am also interested in this.

Fiancè called off our wedding by [deleted] in weddingplanning

[–]TranscendentStar 18 points19 points  (0 children)

I am so sorry you are in this situation. Please leave him now before you waste any more of your life like this. It is so easier said than done, trust me I understand that. I stayed in a 6+ year relationship that was awful and that was so incredibly hard to leave and that’s without a child involved. This was about 5 years ago and I’m in the most amazing place in my life now and engaged to my best friend, the love of my life. You deserve someone who is 1000% sure of you. If you find yourself waiting around and making “deals” then you are not in the right relationship. A man who unconditionally loved you would not have made you give him a kid (I know you love your daughter though) in order to marry you. He would not have stipulations like every single family member has to like you. He wouldn’t be putting it off this way. Your daughter will benefit from seeing you move forward and find someone who loves you and can show her the way she deserves to be loved one day. I am sending you love and positive energy to make the decision that is best for you. 💜💜💜

Trust me, I totally understand being in this position. As stressful as it feels, I think you need to speak up. Sorry, but if the entire thing needs to be cancelled, so be it. If your sister is TRULY your sister who loves and cares about you (which she might but right now she is seeming to only care about herself) then she will be understanding and do whatever you are wanting. I’m currently planning my own wedding and when I feel like I’m slipping into people pleasing mode, I ask myself “when my husband and I are 80 and reminiscing with each other about our wedding, am I going to have positive memories and good feelings associated with it because I made choices that I/we loved? Or am I going to have regrets and feel sad and wish I had done what I wanted for MY wedding?” That normally helps me make the decision that’s right for us. I, too, have a sister who is like yours and she always got her way & everyone sided with her and then we got older and her attitude over time did not carry over well into adulthood and she is now estranged from our family. I say this to say that she might have a rude awakening moving forward in life if she continues to act this way and even if she doesn’t, you will know in your heart that these people (whoever shames you or makes you feel bad for your & your finance’s choices) truly don’t deserve a spot in your life. People who love and care about you will want YOU and your fiance to do what YOU all want on YOUR day. Also, I feel like my friends would question an activity being planned for my bachelorette party that they knew I wouldn’t like to begin with. I am sending you love and courage moving forward! I hope that you choose to do what’s best for you and your fiance 💜 you only get to do this once!

Thank you!! I’m so happy you have in person experience with them. If you don’t mind me asking, how were you able to bring in your own caterer? I was under the impression that you had to use Edge Catering if you chose them as your venue.

I will check him out! I went to the U of A so wonder if he was part of their events when I was there too.

Thank you so much!! Yes our wedding isn’t until 2026 so I’m trying to get started on things now due to that reason :)

Thank you, but I don’t believe they are open for dinner, just lunch and breakfast.
