My rush to get wed before baby arrived

My rush to get wed before baby arrived

by Susie
(Lincoln, UK)

I was 8 months pregnant when my partner finally agreed to set a date for our wedding. He wanted me and our baby to share his surname but admitted that the whole business of getting married freaked him out ... he hates to be the center of attention and our two families don't always get along.

So we eloped! Or rather we sneaked off the the local registry office with two close friends, then had a lovely meal at a local restaurant and then phoned our families to 'fess up. My mum was so angry she didn't speak to either of us until after my daughter was born! Of course, she has come around to it now ... in fact having a new grandchild has softened her up a lot!

I was a last minute bride too!
by: Miranda

You guys just made me feel so much better! My DH wanted to get married before our bundle arrived but he couldn't cope with the big wedding thing either.

His mom was totally being a monster about the whole thing - telling us it was better to wait until after the baby arrived so we could have a 'proper' wedding (for this read 'one she would not be embarrassed to invite her friends to / show them photos of'). Bottom line - she's never believed I am good enough for her precious son.

He really didn't know what to do for the best, then 3 weeks (!!) before my due date he told me he'd booked the register office and asked his best friend and wife to be our witnesses.

We had a great day and I went into labor 2 days later - must have been the stress! Anyway, he just got a job offer on the other side of the country so I won't have to put up with old sourface too often. We can just get on with enjoying being a new family together.

Right Choice!
by: Haidee

Your wedding sounds just like ours! My mum was being such a cow about the baby and everything we just got hitched on the quiet and only told her after her new grandson arrived!

She still had the hump and even now (6 years later) never loses the opportunity to remind us that we 'deprived' her of a 'proper wedding' - I guess you sometimes can't win with families!

I think you made the right choice!

I guess this was a real budget wedding? No need to worry about an expensive reception or bridesaid dresses when you elope huh? Great plan.
