If Y'all been together 10 years and already have a child why put yourselves through heck planning a ceremony. I say elope,throw a nice party and save the $$.
Trust me on this- been married for 33 years I still have nightmares about our wedding and it was small. Even my dd's very laid back wedding last year had its drama, tears and fights. And in the end all that's important is that you and your dh are committed to each other and to your child (...ren if you have more).
That whole post would've been enough for me to elope!! If its that bad now just wait...
@Jpgurl:
My parents are giving us the wedding. They really want to give it to us & honestly DH & I both want one too. After waiting this long I am really looking forward to it. Not everyone has the opportunity to not only make a life long commitment to their best friend, but also have the wedding of their dreams. I'm blessed enough to be getting both. On top of that, one of the most special moments has been going through my mom & dad's wedding book, listening to their stories, seeing my mom's dress & momentos. The look on her face when I asked to wear her pearls, her headpiece, & use parts of her dress was honestly unbeatable. I want to be able to give my daughter the same one day. We have a year to save & *are* planning a week honeymooning in Florida. This is honestly what DH & I have talked about & wanted for years. I just wish weddings didn't make family crazy!! Lol 4951
