Questions for the young bride of the world
I was just curious. To all of you young brides out there, how supportive was your family of your decision to marry young? How active of a role did they play in planning and in the actual ceremony?
For those of you whose families weren't as supportive, how long did it take for them to get over it and realize that this is YOUR life and YOUR decision?
My immediate family is accepting the fact that I'm getting married at 20, but my extended relatives don't seem to "happy" about our decision. I'm not getting any "congrats", just "you're so young". I get it from members at my church too. I just think it's rude. I wish people would at least try to keep their opinions to themselves and let me live MY life.
How did you deal without letting them know that you're annoyed by their concerns? I do respect their concerns, but they're getting old. Our wedding is getting closer. We have reserved our venues and entertainment and we have a date. Part of me doesn't even want to send STD cards and just elope so that my family won't HAVE to join in our celebration.
