Wedding Update

Oh, apparently I've now ruined the wedding by wanting to have my dad walk me down the aisle... go me huh? I don't know what to do, give up on every little girl's dream and risk my dad not being able to do it down the line if/when we renew our vows, or ruin the whole event for my fiance because his family can't go and mine can. What can I say, I'm crushed, between the two men in this word I love. :( But there's no going back now anyway... I can't tell my parents they can't go now... They thought they couldn't, then Charles and I talked about it and invited both families, and today his family said they won't be able to attend and he's mad at me because my parents can go. I'm the baby in my family and my dad's retired (after 4 years on disability, he's now old enough to be officially retired), his parents are still working and raising kids, and yes it was short notice. I'm sorry. Charles, I'm sorry. Mr and Mrs Wyble, I'm sorry. Everyone else I can't please with our wedding, I'm sorry. What am I supposed to do? We already figured out that it would cost about $10,000 to even come close to pleasing half of the people in our lives and decided against it. But now Charles is mad at me and there's nothing I can do... Even when we weren't leaving the state, we couldn't make everyone happy... My dad can't drive because he never regained use of his left hand after his stroke. My mom is terrified of driving on the freeway. Both of his parents drive, but they have 11 kids still at home to pack up. How were we supposed to even pick a location when our families live an hour apart??? Someone has to give.
