Woman Clashes with Parents Over Wedding Guest List as They Insist On Inviting Distant Relatives, She Considers Elopement

Welcome, tea-spillers of the internet. Thanks to the influence of early 2000s rom-coms, Disney movies, and fairy tale books, most little girls dream of having a big, luxurious wedding when they grow up. They envision inviting hundreds of adoring people, wearing a big, poofy princess gown, and dancing in an impossibly large, baroque-style ballroom. Unfortunately, every little girl must eventually wake up to the reality that this sort of wedding would be totally over-budget, a nightmare to organize, and likely incredibly stressful for a bride who would be expected to greet and chit chat with all of her guests — even if she doesn't know them too well. 

While it is perfectly okay to host a smaller, more intimate wedding, many people see weddings as an opportunity for a family reunion. In our story today, our protagonist's parents refuse to relinquish control of the wedding guest list, insisting on inviting relatives that she has purposefully distanced herself from and cut contact with. The pre-wedding stress drives her to go one step beyond the idea of a small wedding as she considers simply eloping. Get all the details down below.
