My dad moved to alaska to work. Me and my boyfriend decided to get married and were doing it on the 25th. At first it was just a wedding at justice of the peace. But after talking to my mom and stuff we decided to have a small wedd under a cazzibbo in my hometown. Now that were doing that he fells really hurt that he cant be here. Should I just stick to the JP thing or go ahead and have a small wedding but fell guilty about hurting my dad??????

Well we have been planning on getting married we just didnt know when. We already have a 7 month old baby so we wanted to do it before he got older.

go ahead and do the JP thing and then at christmas string up some lights at the gazzeebo and have you a wedding with your family. also this will give you more time to do some extra little details and really you just CANT leave out your dad

I would wait. A few more months won't make the baby too much older. If you're close, he should be there. You should still have a small wedding, it sounds very sweet and intimate. But try and plan it for a time when your dad can come.

I think you should wait till your dad can be there. Giving a daughter away at her wedding is one of life's joys that a father lives for. The baby is already here so it doesn't matter if you get married tomorrow or next year. What matters is that you're happy and that you have no regrets. Your wedding day is supposed to be one of the happiest days of your life.

Can you buy your Dad a plane ticket so he can come for the day or something like that? What do you want? Do you want your Dad there? Is there anyway that you would be able to wait till be gets a weekend off or something like that? Its your wedding hunny, he might be hurt, but hey, hopefully the fact that he's gaining a son might make it worth while
Congrats!

Since you know your dad is out of town until Christmas, and since the baby is already here, I really don't see how waiting a couple of months is going to make that much of a difference. It will also give you longer to plan. I vote for waiting til Dad retuns.

I really think that your dad should be at your wedding, after all it's what you want and what he wants. Please don't let your mother convince you otherwise. I can't see what the baby has to do with this, you say he/she is already 9 months old, what fifference is a few more months going to make ? Is it not possible for you to all go to Alaska and get married there ? - sounds great to me !
I hope it all turns out well for you but please don't break your dad's heart.

That's going to depend on how close you are to your dad and what his place has been in your life. I would want both my parents at my wedding, even if it meant I had to have it at a time I hadn't originally planned.

There is no reason to rush. Get married when your dad comes back, then everyone's feelings can be preserved.
Christmas weddings are beautiful.
For future reference, it's spelled: gazebo.

u could wait till christmas then ur son would be old enough to play a role but still young enough it wont make a differnce. but if ur heart is set on having it 25th then have it then and tell ur father to get his butt there. dont feel guilty he should understand.

If your Dad really wanted to make it he would. Do Not let guilt change anything! JP? what's the difference? He wouldn't make either.
