Woman offers to host cousin’s wedding, changes mind after Bridezilla
There are no small concerns in organizing a wedding, and there is this matter of the costs, stress, and general glut of things that need to be carried out. Therefore, some people mistakenly think they can only use their relatives when called upon.
This lady thought twice about allowing her cousin to hold her wedding on her land for not adhering to any of the given rules and guidelines. She later made a few significant updates about how it all went down.
We contacted OP through Reddit, and we will tell you more as soon as she gets back to us. We also spoke with Lisa Pleasant, who plans weddings.
Relying on family for a wedding can be either beneficial or harmful
We married each other at 24 years old (me) and 28 years old (my husband), bought our dream home, did major renovations, and loved our quiet country life scenery.
My cousin is getting married at age 33–a huge fancy wedding she does not have a job right now living with her parents though. Our families may be apart but we are close-knit so I feel like I’m supposed to contribute towards the nuptials.
I did have a small wedding breakfast at my place, but I was astonished to learn that my cousin wanted 80+ guests. Despite how I feel about this personally, I made up my mind to listen to what she had to say. Well, our properties seem big when you just walk into them, but mine is not as spacious even though it is located on a little acreage while her wedding venue might not be enough for all her guests in terms of comfort.
All in all, though supportive and willing to assist her, I have reservations regarding the size and extent of her wedding event compared to mine. It’s their day and decision; however, I hope they take into account the comfort of their guests and the logistics involved in hosting such a large ceremony.
When talking with my cousin about arranging for our celebrations with chairs laid outside before leaving town for some time, we were having discussions concerning seating arrangements for my post-wedding dinner party. But Mom disallowed this one inside.
Nevertheless, contrary to my clear instructions, my cousin planned an 80+ guest wedding that extended even into our home. Consequently, there was a lot of shouting back and forth between us until both families got involved. My husband suggested we withdraw the invitation only that am not certain whether or not it will work out like he thinks.
I am thinking about telling her that she cannot hold the reception at my house anymore, although it might be difficult for her. I feel torn about breaking possibly my promise but also believe I would be right to guard my territory and home.
It is hard to accept being perceived as selfish and mean-spirited when I perceive myself as merely asserting my rights towards my property. At last, though, in this case, all I have to do is look after myself first and make sure that the boundaries are drawn up.
