My parents would not allow anyone in my family to attend and his family couldn't have cared less (except his Grandmother who wished us well but was too ill to travel). Oddly my parents did pay the $80.00 it took for cake, dress and punch but refused to attend. They payed well over a grand for my sister's marriage which lasted a whole total of 2 months, while it's our 20 year anniversary this year. My point is no matter what issues you have with your family or your in-laws it CAN work out and you can build a strong and happy marriage despite the problems. Best of luck and love to you both, ~Airen We eloped because my parents were adament that we could not “shack up” and the Catholic Church they went to chose to support their insane desire to have me move home and get pre-marriage counseling as well as force my husband to get confirmed against his wishes.

We married with only his parents aware and present. Met online as well and got married shortly after, in India (my parents were/are in France). My mother found out 4 months later in our local townhall, as the secretary there asked how the marriage went... they were disappointed for some time, but eventually got over it and we had our grand wedding 2 years later... Luckily, we didn't have the same trouble with our respective families... Hi there,

Your life and your marriage are your business. You can't live your life worrying about how you are could have pleased people if you had done things differently. Truthfully, it wouldn't matter -what- you had done, someone would have gotten hurt feelings and held a grudge and been unhappy. You just can not physically please everyone. I hope that you don't have to be miserable with her forever and I hope things do work out with you and your husband. .-= Sarahbear´s last blog ..<a href="http://sosexy-bysarahbear.blogspot.com/2010/02/review-orgasm-in-box-his.html" rel="nofollow">Review: Orgasm in a Box (His)</a> =-.
