[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, On a different tangent, I was telling my kids tonight how I wished I had waited and worked to save money an extra year because my wedding memories are tainted by the incredible money stress of that time.  It felt like something I did for our families but not for myself: no fancy car, secondhand dress, food was not great, no music or dancing on the day itself although we had a reception in his country a week later that was much nicer.  I think that frustration is overcoming you.  For years when things went wrong between DH and me I would resent him for us not having had the kind of wedding and rings I wanted.  At least you feel you have had a happy marriage, which is what matters most.[/quote]

OP here. Yes, I do not look back at the time of my wedding fondly as it was SO stressful and riddled with disappointment. Everything I wanted I couldn't afford. And what we could afford [b]was not to my taste but I accepted it because I would rather be married than not.[/b]

I did not get to be excited about designing my own perfect wedding invitations, or wedding bouquets or the flowers or the table settings.

Everything was barebones and DH and I fought a lot during the process.

So, it stings that others, like my sister who also does not have money, gets to enjoy the entire process because she happened to catch the eye of a rich guy.
