[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would like a very small wedding and a larger party later. Not quite a reception. More a big get together but you do need to tell folks it’s post wedding somehow so they come..right? We just want to see friends and have a good time that’s less formal.

My mother in law is elderly and a source of great stress to my partner (she’s mentally unwell and abusive to home). If I could find someone to be her chaperone and take her home post ceremony that would be ideal. [/quote]

I don’t get it. Your wedding can be however informal you want. We had a full fledged wedding (married by judge then reception all in the same room) serving brunch and mimosas. There’s nothing stopping you from having the exact level of formality you want. [/quote]

I don’t want a public ceremony. [/quote]

My in laws are unstable. My partner would invite them out of responsibility but we can caretaker them on a large group of people.

I respect he wants them there (or really he wants his mother there and she won’t come with the crew). They can come to courthouse but would be a lot of extra stress to any reception. They aren’t good with multiple people. The dynamic is very sad.

We deserve a break, we do a lot of caretaking.

Plus we’re not young, a big wedding and reception would be odd. We don’t need a registry or gifts. [/quote]

I don't understand the age discrimination. Old people don't have family and friends? [/quote]
