I understand that your children are your life but there is a time when you need to take a step back.

I love your son I do, but we are not going to do things the way you did because you are the only one who wants us to.

We live together, have a home together, have a son together, have been together 3 years. To us it seems silly to go into the amount of debt you want us to for a wedding.

We have a family. We can't be throwing all that money on one day when our son will be needing diapers, or clothes or even food.

A courthouse, me in a wedding dress, your son in a tux, in front of a justice of the peace is all we want. Well have a reception with food, and drink after. No dj, no extras.

You already got a huge +400 people wedding from your eldest son. And they are now $45,000 in debt.... for one day.

We will not be renting a church, we are not religious. We will not be hiring a band. We will not be having first dances, or anything like that. Even renting a park and hiring a priest costs near $700. That's ludicrous.

We will not be having it done at the church you got married at. I will not be wearing your dress. I will NOT be dancing with your son to you and fils song.

You have already said your paying for drinks. Thanks. I appreciate that. You can choose what drinks are on tap. You cannot choose my wedding colors because of it, (Yes, I know purple and blue look great together.)

So, here's the deal. Take your drink money and don't come to our courthouse wedding, or be happy for us.

Total we will be spending $800 for that day. If you want more than a courthouse, food, reception hall, and other little necessities. If you want more, feel free to pay for it. Because I will not even risk it yanking the spoon from my sons mouth.
