Should We fly our parents and daughter to hawaii for our wedding? We are thinking about basically eloping in hawaii while on an all expense paid vacation with my fiances company.. The only thing is i am not sure if i want to get married w/o my family there. Even though i plan on having a church wedding later anyways. It would cost us 5,000 dollars this includes round trip flight and hotel for the days we are there for 4 adults and one child to come. We are not paying for anything so would it be crazy for us to try to pay 5,000 dollars for our family just parents and daughter to be there???? I am torn.. Jeff kinda just wants it to be us. I really feel like i would want my family there.. What should i do?? My daughter is only 2 and by then 2 and a half so she would not remember. + she would be flower girl in our traditional church wedding... There are alot of reasons why we want to elope. 1 being we don't have the money fora church wedding at least for the next two years unless we get a loan... 2. We have a lot of reasons like having a child that would make us being legally m arried so much easier. Health insurance, car insurance and all those things are so much easier to do.... That would be the reason to elope so we have all those benefits sooner.. We have been together for so long 8 years that its like we should have done this so much sooner.. My daughter is not allowed to go. Its not supposed to be a vacation it is more of a business trip that i am invited to go to.. We asked if kiera my daughter could go and they said no. I have never went anywhere withough her in two years!!!! I am kinda looking forward to me and jeff having some alone time and i dont think thats so terrible is it:?

Am I selfish or bad mom by not taking my baby (will be 18 months) to our Hawaii wedding? I am so torn about this ... my fiance (also father of our 8 month old baby) and I are going to be married in Hawaii in October. Thing is, I'm a stay-at-home mom, and my baby is so used to being with me 24/7. I'm afraid when we leave him home with my mom (who he sees about once a month for a few days at a time), he'll be sad and devastated when we leave for 7-10 days. I want to be able to enjoy the wedding & honeymoon, and maybe I'm overestimating how I'll feel when he's a little older and into playing with others, etc. I don't know. I know people go on vacations without their baby sometimes, but I guess I'm just a big softie. I thought of taking him and my mom with us, but I know if we bring him and my mom, I'll never be able to relax because I'll always be wondering what he's doing and want to be wherever he is. I'm not sure what to do ... BTW: Please don't answer if all you're going to tell me is we shouldn't have had a baby before getting married -- I'm not from that "school of thought", so it's just wasted words. Thanks to everyone else! It's a long story why I don't care one way or another if my mom goes ... for 1. She's the only one I trust to watch my son for that long, and 2. she would probably rather stay home and watch him than go ... she's just different than most moms. Abandoning him? Are you serious? I spend all day every day with him, and I'd be leaving him with his GRANDMA, not a complete stranger. This is a once in a lifetime situation -- getting married. I'm not going to a crack house and leaving my son home alone -- that's abandonment. Wow -- people really know how to be mean on this site.
