That is NOT what I said. And it doesn't even make the slightest amount of common sense. Why would we have set it all up in the first place and asked her parents to pay for it if we didn't want it?

The point was that given everything that had happened, including the constant stress and uncertainty of having to go through months of not knowing if it would be cancelled or not, then officially having it cancelled by government order, we were ready to just be done with it and go elope, but reconsidered because we wanted to be good stewards of her parents financial resources.

That's not the same thing as saying we "never wanted it." We absolutely wanted it. It was going to be great. All of my family was going to come in from out of state. That's all gone now. What we will now have in exchange will be a pale imitation of what was originally all planned. If that. It seems somewhat likely that Abbott is going to put his pussy-hat on and order a brand new shutdown any day now. So our second rescheduled date might get cancelled again. In which case the few guests and wedding party members who have stuck with us will probably cancel out as well and we'll be left with our parents standing in our kitchen. But I guess I'm a horrible person for being upset about that huh? I guess if that happened to you, you'd just smile and nod and say "WELL IF IT SAVES JUST ONE LIFE" right?

Okay, well this would have been nice to say, you know, when we were actually asking you about it. You didn't. At all.

Jakyl:

Honestly Im most surprised that Muffin would marry someone who genuinely cares about the pageantry of a traditional wedding

Your direct reply:

the shitty thing is, she doesn't even care that much
if it weren't for the fact that her parents already put down a ton of money in deposits with various vendors (who are all saying "we're happy to reschedule you for later... but no refunds/cancellations" we probably would just go to the courthouse and elope

Inviso:

That makes it seem like your finances are so spectacular that the cost of cancelling this wedding isn't even a drop in the bucket for you

Your direct reply:

Her parents paid for all of this. We feel an obligation to ensure that their money is well spent. Deposits have been paid and the vendors are not offering refunds.

Like, I'm fully willing to apologize if you 100%, legitimately, truthfully were looking forward to this dream wedding, and had to postpone it/cancel it/whatever. But you, in no way, actually expressed that, and continued to not express it even as people continued to question you on it.
