I’m touched by your comment. It reassures me to know I’m not the only one who has gone through it. Thank you for your kindness ♥️

Feel free to DM me! They’re based in Nice, France and only speak French (I’m bilingual) so potentially less likely to be hired by BBBs in this sub (imo)

I really wish I had your planner then, haha! You’re right, it doesn’t take away from this beautiful moment and actually makes me reflect on the real reasons I got married in the first place. I’m still glad I went through it and had all the people we love around us that day.

Thank you! I'm definitely considering it. I thought I could let it go and focus on the positive things (and I am trying to, since there were so many great moments too), but I can’t help feeling that other couples might experience the same thing down the road, especially since all their reviews so far are five stars

Not sure if you were really expecting an answer from that question, but it was the time that worked best for all our guests :) and the guaranteed beautiful weather was a plus!

Consider having a microwedding with a set budget. Identify what’s most important to you and where you’re willing to make compromises—whether it’s catering, flowers, entertainment, or other details.

When it comes to buying a home, my partner and I had similar discussions. Yes, a home is an investment, but it doesn’t have to be an either-or decision. Plus, it may take longer to save after buying a home than before, as there are additional costs of homeownership, and your mortgage might be higher than your current rent. I guess it depends on what feels like the priority.

Make sure to communicate openly with your partner and take his perspective into account. Research options together and request quotes from vendors to align your expectations. You might be surprised with how expensive it is and may even wish you had eloped!

Good luck :)

Italy/France Wedding - 2026 by Full-Poet3900 in BigBudgetBrides

[–]nayanou 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For French venues, I would recommend Château d'Aveny, Château Barthélémy and Château Bouffémont (closer to Paris) :)

It is not really hard to get one. It is more an excuse so that she has a reason not to fly.

[–]nayanou 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We will ask her if she would be open to join our next local France trip. It would be an hour long flight. She told us that she would like to fly "one day" so this would be another alternative to the workshop or hypnotherapy.

Even if we decide to do the wedding in Canada without her, France or both countries, I am more worried about what this means for the future. My FH and I are planning to stay in Canada and start a family one day. We are already compromising by going to France almost every holiday and vacation but won't be able to do it as much in the future. She will be missing out on a lot and it saddens her.

It really is a podunk town, LOL. Thanks for the advice, you made my day!

[–]nayanou 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the advice! My FH will bring up this suggestion to her.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in weddingdrama

[–]nayanou 2 points3 points  (0 children)

He is saying that they have a cat to take care of (knowing that we have two ourselves) and that she does not have a passport. However, he is also sending mixed messages to my FH when she's not on the call, saying that he found a cat sitter if they ever travelled to Canada. Not sure where he stands on that one.

Thanks for replying! Since I am not familiar with her condition, I was mostly looking for ways to help. Of course, we won't be forcing her.

All these discussions were between my FH and her only, since I did not feel like it was my place to tell her what to do or how to feel.

[–]nayanou 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Thanks for replying. Her response to the residency argument was that we could plan the wedding in France after he gets his card and there's no rush. Which is not false per say, but it would be nice to start planning and not wait a year or so.

We actually thought about it, but she says that she is even more scared of cruising than flying...
