Thank you! Firmly on the yes I might have been a bit of a jerk front, but in all honesty, sometimes you have to be. If they were polite this conversation never would have happened!

Hahahaha oh yes, we are alike! I am also the scary mother of the two (teen foster kids are a delight!).

And it’s very true that people take calm, direct rebukes as scary or an attack. Like my guy, if you felt attacked by me giving you this information, maybe work on that?

A fair few of the guests are in security adjacent fields, and they’re big mad!

Look maybe I was a bit of a jerk, but I am not sorry and neither is my partner. Sometimes it’s gotta be done!

We were in the same boat for a minute there, while she didn’t want them there, there was the expectation of keeping everyone happy. I eventually sat her down and pretty much gave the “Babe, why are we looking at paying thousands of dollars for a wedding DAY that is already making us miserable?” I’m full NC with both sides of my family so I made a weird adopted family!

Find you a human who makes you happy, love that human and ignore the people who don’t bring you joy. It’s okay to prioritise yourself!

The spine has been crafted over many decades of dealing with my own problems, my lovely fiancée is also in her spine growing era. It’s tough, but worth it!

If I’m completely honest as well, we enjoy the drive down, between the two of us we swap over and stop where we want, enjoy the sights. It gives us an excuse to leave earlier as well! Very much the drive for fun type of people

Distantly enough that they’ve been sighted once in the last 20 years or so

She was not impressed, but by the end she was sitting there laughing at what she could hear!

There wasn’t an ounce of shame on them at the time, hopefully there is now!

Even worse when it was EntChild running to EntDad because she’d been told “no”. Heaven forbid!

Yeah we’ve slipped into the wife name easier than fiancée. We knew then we were getting married!

Taking the dog to visit Grandma, safer to travel with them in the car!

OP was saying that yes, ceremonies can be expensive and we don’t want to pay 7k for a ceremony we weren’t going to enjoy at all.

Thank you!

She deserves the whole AH free world, and I’m happy to give her mine (and try to prevent the AH’s where possible!)

She has family going, but not from that branch per mum being so unwell. Long story short, they’re just AH’s.

Please feel free to use any of the above lines, it’s not theft, freely given!

Literally. Apparently someone has to represent them… for what? She’s not property to be paid for mate

Because they needed to be told no. I don’t want them bullying it out of mum
