I could not convince him otherwise. He felt it was wise to have a small wedding. He talked about buying our dream home and having a big wedding would push the plan back financially.
I didn't want to agree with the plan, but financially it made sense. Most of my friends got married during COVID-19 and they were able to reduce costs of having a huge wedding. Lucy from HR said it was the best decision of her life. Everyone was on Zoom, they had a great time catching up with everyone.
We decided to have a court wedding, and he promised a few years to come, our vow renewal means we can have a nice reception with our friends and family.
“How can my first daughter get married like a pregnant teenager?” my father asked as he put his newspaper on his lap after I dropped the news like a time bomb.
I knew what he meant, the wedding plan sounded like I was a teenager who was getting married simply because she was pregnant out of wedlock. The only difference was that I was not pregnant.
