Wedding

I feel like such a misery guts saying this but I literally cannot be bothered with a big wedding? Ive ALWAYS had my dream wedding planned but now I have my LO my ideas about spending money and energy on things has completely shifted. My LO is 9 and a half months and its fair to say my mental healths been up and down since having him. I cant tell if my reason for not wanting this big wedding is my new personality or a little bit of postpartum depression/fatigue… We have been engaged over a year now and I just want to go to a registry with my partner, baby and our parents and then jet off on holiday! I cant bare the thought of spending a house deposit on a day (no matter how much fun it might be/ how expected it is). I think another big thing is since having my LO I dont feel as included with friends and family as i have in the past. I dont want to upset family and friends and I can tell my partner feels a little confused by how i view the day. I do think as soon as we look at costs its clearer to him why I cant see the point in spending so much money. I also just hear/see people stressing about their wedding days which really puts me off! I guess what im asking is - do I need to wait it out and see how i feel in a year or do I embrace these feelings and get things booked in (jan 2027 wedding)? what were your experiences with getting married? Thank you so much in advance.

I was supposed to get married in 2020 (biggish wedding 100 people). That’s obviously never happened! We had our son in 2021. It was a bit different for us as we had paid for everything for our wedding already, but I can totally get your point. I was NOT bothered in the slightest about rearranging it. We kinda had to as we had paid for it but I was really not interested 😂. I honestly think if we hadn’t had everything arranged we wouldn’t be married yet. BUT In a way I think it made it better that I wasn’t bothered. I really didn’t care if people couldn’t come any more / what the food was / what the venue looked like / if people got annoyed with who was invited. We did have the best day! It was great having our son there and for him to be part of the day and I’m really pleased we did it now. I don’t have any real advice for you - just go with your gut. If you want to keep it small do it. It’s your day no one else’s. So what if people get upset - if you’re paying then wa
