[reddit] She Planned a Secret Wedding, But Her In-Laws’ Demands Might Ruin Everything!

The redditor is not a fan of weddings and initially planned a simple, no-fuss marriage ceremony with their partner. However, with a baby on the way, they find that a marriage certificate is necessary for practical reasons. Despite their efforts to keep the ceremony private and low-key, the partner’s parents express a desire to be invited, leading to family drama and pressure. The redditor is torn between maintaining their original plan and avoiding the stress of a larger event, risking the disapproval of their in-laws.

Three weeks later, we sent out a card with the information, and that was that. I think “biting the bullet” is absolutely not an option if what you want is to get married alone! Make a final decision or change the date and don’t tell anyone.

Our mothers were not thrilled, but it was our decision. Don’t force yourselves into something that doesn’t make you happy. It’s your day, not someone else’s. This is made worse by the fact that your parents can’t stand each other.
