    Hi everyone I need some help with something. I want a private casual wedding as I hate attention and PDAs. I know I need to geI over it for my wedding but I'm a super shy and private person.

    I was thinking of having my family help with picking a dress etc but only have me and my partner with a witness each at the ceremony. I have many reasons for this first the ones I've mentioned but also because my parents are recently separated and I don't have a great rship with my dad.

    Is it wrong, bad, rude not to have my parents at my ceremony???

    I think your parents will find it difficult to understand and you will probably have some defending to do. But if that's what you and your FI want then that should be all that matters.

    @ladyartichoke:Thank you for your reply. I'm in that difficult stage right now. We're both such giving and accomodating people that it's hard to know what we really want. I hate when family try to guilt yofeeling doing things their way.

    I think that it will be hard on your parents to miss the ceremony as well. Maybe you could invite them to the ceremony instead of someone else to be your witnesses?
