My boyfriend and I got engaged 3 weks ago, the only thing is I just want to go to a registery office and he wants a wedding. He has a big family, 4 brothers and sisters who are all married and all have children so there would be at least 30 on his side. Which would just cost a hell of a lot of money, in my opinion I would rather take that money to put a deposit on a house but he seems to be getting carried away with arrangements. I have mentioned it a few times its not what I want but he just ignores me. So am just going along with it.
His sister text saying her friend is practising photography and wil do our wedding for free at the time I said well are you sure this is what we both want. Taking it as a no he told his sister I was a 'prick' and being an 'awkward *******'.
I was hurt but he said he was just joking with her.
What should I do? At the moment If anyone asked if we have a date sorted I say I want to finish uni, have the baby and move house before I start thinking of a wedding. Am I wrong to prolong to engagement?
 
Hi hun. I don't think you are in the wrong at all a wedding is a joint thing and you should have a say. Your reasons for wanting to hold off and save money are all good ones. It sounds to me like he is scared your wedding won't be as good as any of his families and he is trying to show off a bit. He might not even realise he is doing it. I do think that the names he called you were very wrong you are carrying his child and he should treat you with more respect in my opinion xx
 
I agree. My OH and I couldn't agree for ages, then we did, booked it and married 6 weeks later.

There's no rush. Don't regret your day xx
