Hello all!!
I need help. I married my high school sweetheart on July 7, 2007. This was a very special date to us, not only because it was 7/7/7, but because it was the exact date we began going together exactly 15 years ago. We didnt have the wedding as planned because I was nine months pregnant-I gave birth on his birthday 7/20/07(go figure). We decided to have my pastor marry us, and we had a nice small reception. We had been engaged almost two years before marrying and luckily I found out I was pregnant right before(a week to be exact)I was to purchase my dress!!!
The reception was nice-the only thing is that 90% of his and 90% of my family didnt even bother to come. I mean family-aunts and uncles..my daddy didnt even show up!!
Every body was blowing both of our phones up, the day of--making sure of the time and getting directions--and didnt show up.
I want to renew my vows and have a wedding. The original plan was to have it at a nice hotel, and have a seated dinner-you know the whole nine yards!! I want the experience of being in my gown-and seeing him in his tux!!
I think I'm going to go ahead and do this-but I'm only going to have maybe 50 people if that many invited--am I wrong for this!! If they didnt bother to come to something that was free--why in the hell would I invite them to something that could cost $50 per person!! Just so they could be nosy!!
HELP!!!

First and foremost, welcome to the sisterhood mrsquick777. I think that whatever you envisioned your day being is exactly what you should have and if you both only decide to invite just about 10 people or 50 then, that's exactly what you should do and I agree with you, if they couldn't bother showing up for the free one, why should they bother with this one just because it would be fancier and everyone envisioned themselves in pictures on your day? Do this your way sister, exactly your way!!!
THanks for the Welcome!!
Thanks for the advice as well---where was this site earlier this year!!! LOL!!
Its been around for a while!!!
Welcome mrsquick777. There are many 777 brides that have come through here. Even my brother got married that day. I was also married this year, but on 3/3/07.
I think that you should do whatever your hearts desire....But you sound like you feel a little guilty, and its likely that both those who are invited and those who will not be invited will be chatting away, as well as wondering "where's my invite?" If you are ready for this criticism, please go forth with your head held high....if it hurts you a little to leave some people out (even though THEY were wrong), know its normal to feel that way, and maybe you can invite as many as you can afford, being strict with the list, and go from there.....Trust me...the whole "space constraint" excuse is a good enough reason to be strict with the list, and it takes a lot og guilt off your back....I know...
We've been Happily Married 2 Years and Counting:)

You are sooo right!!!! I do feel guilty just a little-but then I get to thinking--Where were you in July?
Welcome to the site, MrsQuick! I agree with Bumblebee!

Welcome mrsquick. Sorry to hear you had such a low turnout on your big day and I hope the renewal ceremony is all you want it to be. Bumble has given you good advice. Just follow your heart on this one.

Welcom MrsQuick! Follow your heart on this. Those who want to be there will be there.
Welcome MrsQuick777! You are amongst friends here! I must say that you are not wrong for inviting 50 people. Do what makes you heart glad. It's your day, do it your way! That is the motto around here. In any event, I wish you and your hubby all the best!
Delight yourself in The Lord & He will give you the desires of your heart!Ps 37
