I hate when my mom tries to stir things up!!! This is how it all went down... "Do you know where you are going for your honeymoon?"
"No, and we might not be going anywhere 'cause we don't have the money."
Then she starts saying a bunch of crap about how he probably means for Gatlinburg to be our honeymoon, he should have thought about the honeymoon when he asked me to marry him (I don't get that one), and I must not be that important to him.
I'm fine if I don't get a honeymoon. I mean I will be a little sad and disappointed that I wouldn't get the traditional honeymoon, but I understand. You have to do what you have to do. I'm not the high maintenance woman my fiance thinks I am :-) I'm not going to demand a honeymoon when the money isn't there.
But if I do get a honeymoon then it will probably be somewhere in the states because I think it is almost too late to get a passport. Who knows though.... I am happy with whatever!

wrong. we're going somewhere. i want to be original, and not just copy what your sister's already done. it's not too late to get passports - tho traveling out of the states can become needlessly expensive. no, gatlinburg isn't the replacement for a honeymoon.
i think you half brought this one on your own - a simple "we still haven't decided" could have caused less drama.
the expectations have also been built up by the whole extravagant wedding experience too - even if you didn't cause it. now, if the honeymoon didn't amount to how high and grand the wedding was, then I'll always be inferior to your parents.
our two families do live and spend in different ways - we never went on vacations growing up, for income was spent on bills and paying debts off. now, their house is paid off and the cars are their only monthly bill. can your parents say the same?
i want to make you happy. i want to make me happy. making you happy would completely thrill me. i want to go somewhere nice, but i don't want to copy everyone else, and i don't care to start our lives together in $10k of debt! i'm still working to pay off this credit card that got out of hand - and sadly i don't know if i can get it wiped out before the wedding :(
i want to be a dependable provider: not someone who blew all cash and credit on a blowout honeymoon made to impress everyone else, then have something simple like a failed appliance force us to take cold showers for the next 2 months before we can afford to replace the water heater! but my problem is, by trying to be frugal, your family's lifestyle sees me as a cheap ass who's getting a free ride on their dime.
and i said from day one i just wanted something small and simple, cause things like this happen, mainly when someone else takes charge. still don't want to elope? :-|
