I fiancé and I are planning our wedding which started to be a large affair.. However, with everyone’s lack of interest I would just rather elope. My family lives 3000 miles away and I’ve tried communicating by phone with what needs to be done but it just ends up in an argument. My mother is not as interested or excited as I thought she would be. My fiance’s family do not have a relationship with me outside of him and my father already said he will have nothing to do with it (not because of anything my fiancé did, my father is just a difficult man) We plan to invite 50 people 5 would be from my family. Now I don’t feel like having a reception just so I can avoid the father-daughter situation and so I don’t have to throw a party for my future in laws which is what it would seem like since they are a majority of the guests.
We considered the destination wedding with just mothers but it would put a financial strain on my mom and I feel if I were to elope I would regret my mother not being there.
What do I do? I have 5 months to decide.
