This resulted no one from our extended families coming to the ceremony and to the party. We said 'Not our problem.' and moved with the original plan.
Both of our families have generations of alcoholics and they don't drink. This caused a tremendous amount of shit and we got calls from every family member saying we were triggering our alcoholic relatives. They really liked the idea and we invited everyone who was invited to our wedding. They were always wondering about gay bars and strip clubs but we being little dicks while we were at university and them having rough times, we never had the opportunity to bring them to a gay bar so we decided to honor their request and have the post-wedding party at one of the wildest gay bars in London. We were planning to get married at Summer 2020 but thanks to the world, we managed to get married at 2021 Summer and both of our moms have survived from cancer in last 2 years so we also decided to have this celebration about them.
We have fallen in love at our school and we have been together since I am 15 so we are definitely a high school romance. Me(28M) and my husband (30M) both have raised by single moms and we have met while we were in high school via our moms (they were at the same mom group of volunteers in our school).
