Anyone have suggestions on how to have a cheap wedding without going behind my in-laws and my…

Go to the courthouse

I've tried. My mom's acting like it's hers

Elope lol

My mother in law is more of a mom than mine is. I would only want my mother in law there

We're planning on it. We just have to find the time in our busy schedules

I think you should stand up to your mom and tell her she’s not welcomed if she doesn’t get an understanding that the wedding is yours and not hers. If your in laws and parents can’t be cordial for your big day tell them both that they’re uninvited. I know that is probably something that you don’t want to do but you are a mother soon to be mom of two kids. You shouldn’t have to hide something like this because they can’t get along. That’s not fair to you or your man. If they wanna be apart of your day they will learn to get along or simply not attend.

I don't get how she is stopping you from going to the courthouse. Just go. It's not like it takes long.

Ive had some people tell me they had a cheap wedding. They all had a lot of things in common. Most of them hosted their reception in their backyards, or someone they know that had a bigger outdoor space. So they avoided renting a venue. They also did not buy an expensive wedding dress. I know of a girl who baked her own wedding cake and also made her own wedding decor. Find someone who has a nice camera &’ have them take the photographs.

It's not your parents' wedding. It is yours and your fiance's. It really is that simple.

You want it low key and cheap? Set a courthouse date and invite whoever you want. They hate the idea? Big whoop - they can be petty and miss out on a huge milestone on their child's life.

You aren't doing anything behind anyone's back - but you don't need their permission either. You are an adult.
