She Told Her Fiancé If He Wants Them To Have A Real Wedding, It’s On Him To Plan The Whole Thing
Getting engaged can be one of the best feelings. However, for some people, the planning process and thought of going through the actual wedding day may seem like a nightmare.
Planning your wedding is never easy. Not only do you have to worry about a venue, a dress, and what food you plan on having at your event, you have to worry about who you are going to invite, and who will actually show up.
In this case, there’s a young woman looking for advice for her wedding day.
This couple has been together for four years. She knows her fiancé is the love of her life, however, their marriage plans are not aligned one bit.
While most people have a clear countdown to their special day, this woman does not.
“I know that he is the love of my life and want so dearly to be his wife. However, the thought of planning, paying for, and even being at my wedding makes me want to cry.”
Her biggest fear is having no relatives or friends show up to her wedding. After all, she is from a completely different country.
She knows her parents and her siblings will definitely be by her side, but the thought of her friends not being to afford a flight and travel has her feeling disappointed.
She cringes at the thought of having a big wedding with the only guest arriving being the fiancé’s family and friends.

Instead, she tries to pitch the idea of eloping somewhere beautiful and having a small ceremony in the summer of 2023. The fiancé does not agree with this as he thinks “it would be “weird” to have a celebration after we’ve already been married.”
“Whenever I picture the wedding day, I don’t feel joy I just feel disappointment because of how few people there will be from my side and I want to cry.”
She is also a very private person that doesn’t feel comfortable announcing her vows in front of everyone he plans on inviting.
She wants to do a weekend getaway with just the two of them and have a follow-up party after they return. Her fiancé disagrees and says that type of ceremony is untraditional.
With the way she has been feeling, this bride-to-be is looking for answers and is now expecting her fiancé to plan the entire wedding if it means she cannot have a say in how she wants it to go.
As of right now, the future bride has been doing all of the planning by herself.
“Considering I am the only one who’s made any effort in planning, I want to tell him that if he insists on having a wedding to get married, then he will have to do all the planning and a majority of the payment. It seems unfair to do most of the planning and spend money for something that I don’t even want and will end up being mostly only for his family and friends.”
Putting the bride’s emotions into perspective, is she in the wrong for feeling this way? Should she go through with the wedding or move on to someone who will truly appreciate her wants and needs?
