Our wedding is a little more than a month away. I got home last night with a phone call from my DH that he doesn't want to get married at Disney anymore. Because supposibly we don't have the money for it, his parents can't afford it and know his grandmother and aunt want to go but they can not afford it. I have paid for everything. I even made all the favors Disney themed orniments, personalized candles even just finished making our wedding programs. On top of it all I have been sick lately and still have been working over 50 hrs a week so we would have spending money there (since his job does not offer overtime). My best friend & her fiance already booked and paid for their airfare/hotel/tkts.
I am so pissed off at his family... his parents make good money. They have known about this for months now. Before we even booked it I asked and showed everyone how much it would cost for them to go and asked if they could do it.... if they said no then we would have looked at other options but they said they could and seemed excited about it. Now they don't have the money to go, plus they offered to pay 1000 for the wedding. It's pretty amusing, his mother doesn't have the money to go to her son's wedding or help pay for his college ---- but she pays her other son's tuition, his book fees, she bought a new living room set about 5 months ago and just 2 weeks ago she bought a $1,800 kitchen set. And the funny thing is he thinks I am being selfish about this whole thing. He doesn't want to get married if his family can't be there, so now Disney is not an option.
Prior to this I wanted to have the wedding back up in Boston (all my family, and his fathers family, and both of our friends are there). It would have been easier since only his parents and a few friends would have to fly from Dallas to Boston for the Wedding. But he didn't want to do that since it was too expensive, plus his mother kept pushing and pushing to have it at her house outside. Not for nothing I like Dallas, but no way am I having a wedding in her yard with horse crap everywhere.
So now with only a month I have to hope we can get our money back- hope my bestfriend will still be my friend after this, and hope to find a place to get married by Dec 3! I really am at a breaking pointe here, I told him if its money he's worried about - I don't want a reception or his mother to throw a shower in dallas for me. All I want to do is get married and I don't care if anyone is there. I told him if we do this - I will only do the wedding and the rest of the money I'm going to disney with my 2yr old and him for honeymoon and thats final. This really sux, this had to happend now - friday I am going to Boston for my bridal shower --- great timing huh!
