There’s a wedding in a month, and I have more and more doubts whether celebrating this event with my family was a good decision. We refrained from getting married for 7 years because we were afraid of our parents’ reaction to the fact that we did not want a church wedding. Neither I nor my future husband have anything to do with the Church and pretending otherwise just to walk down the aisle in a white dress is not our style.
We finally got together and made an appointment at the office, and then spent half a year explaining this choice to my parents-in-law and my parents. At first they didn’t talk to us, then there was emotional blackmail, that we were the only children and they didn’t think that such a misfortune would happen to them, etc.
“We’ll go to the wedding in sneakers”
When the situation finally calmed down and we started organizing the wedding, making compromises, I thought everything would be fine. We invited the guests they asked for, chose the room together and I was even shocked that it was so easy. Well, then it came to choosing an outfit and the stairs began.
It was supposed to be a day for us, so we just wanted to feel good. We decided to go to the wedding in sneakers. My husband bought a light linen suit and I bought a simple boho dress. We’re not into tuxedos and ball gowns and we wouldn’t feel like ourselves in such an outfit. Plus, it’ll be summer, so less formal outfits seemed most appropriate. When my mother-in-law heard about it, she wanted to cancel the wedding.
Boho wedding. My mother-in-law said we would bring shame to the whole family
I thought our outfits were our decision. However, when my mother-in-law offered to go with me to choose dresses, I had to refuse and reveal that everything was already chosen. My husband and I showed photos of our wedding outfits and seriously: I’ve never seen her in such a condition. She started shouting that we would bring shame to the whole family, that if anyone heard that, we should go to a wedding like a disco. If it’s a shame for the family, is it worth having them at the wedding? They should accept our choices and understand that it is our day. Instead of enjoying the wedding, I am completely fed up.
