Thank you for all your kind words ladies.
The wedding was simple, no fuss and fun. Just the way we wanted it.
Regarding other people putting their oar in I think my Dad put it best... 'tell them to get stuffed, its your wedding not theirs, they wouldn't change their plans for something important just to suit you, they can be disappointed all they want but at the end of the day they need to just suck it up'.
Jaune - I wore black pants and a nice grey top. DH wore black pants and a black stripey shirt. The lady at the registry office said she had seen it all.. from full on wedding dresses etc to jeans and a t-shirt to dress up costumes.

That's good to know - I've always quite liked the idea of a registry office wedding but had no idea what to wear!
Congratulations! Pleased it all went well!

Oh no! That's pretty sh*t!
I take it it's her sister? DH's aunty? Sounds like he might need to have a chat with her...
My Mum would probably kill me if I had my aunty at my wedding and not her!

Yep its her sister. Long story but DH pretty much considers his aunty more of a mother than his mother. MIL and Aunty don't talk. DH really couldn't care less that his mother has reacted this way.
And even if we had given her say 6 months notice MIL still wouldn't have made it. She doesn't work, is in constant debt etc etc.

Oh, well, no real loss then huh?!
There's always got to be some sort of drama before, during or after a wedding!

Aww congrats on your wedding! Sorry about some family members being silly, but like others have said, it's their loss!

Congratulations! Sounds like you had exactly the day that you and your DH wanted, which in the end is all that really matters.
May you have a long and happy marriage with minimal interference from disgruntled family members!

Thank you! It helps that we live in NZ and most of them live in Aussie.
