Emotional chat: I am not satisfied with the wedding hotel, but my mother-in-law insists on not changing it to save face. What do you think?

My husband and I are getting married on November 1 this year. We met and got married at work, which is in Chengdu, the capital of my husband’s province, and I’m from the north. It’s been two years since I got the certificate, but I haven’t held a wedding because I’m busy with work. In fact, another reason why I haven’t held a wedding is that I am opposed to weddings from the bottom of my heart. My husband’s family is from a rural town, and there is no decent hotel or even restaurant in their town. The biggest The hotel can only accommodate ten tables, which means guests have to be seated in groups.

This year, with the persuasion of both parents, the wedding date was finally set. The first is the hotel. My husband’s parents also felt that there was no hotel in their town, so they decided to find a hotel in the next town. We also checked the hotels in this town on Dianping. There is one hotel that does have a decent venue, and the wedding decorations should be pretty good too. Since his parents were working on construction projects for a Chinese construction company out of town, they asked a neighbor who worked in the next town to look after the hotel.

This fellow seemed to work in a restaurant, and he got it done in half a day. He said he helped book the biggest venue in town. My husband and mother agreed when they heard it was the biggest venue. At that time, my husband’s mother called us and told us that the venue had been decided and it was very spacious. We were trying on wedding dresses just in time. We didn’t ask the name of the hotel carefully, thinking we were looking at the same hotel. My husband and I were very happy and thought we could have it. A relatively satisfying wedding.

The turning point was today when my husband and mother sent a picture of the hotel forwarded by the fellow villager on WeChat. Then we were confused. We were not the same family at all. It was similar to the environment in their town. The venue was very narrow and there was no way we could fit in. I can't even wear my wedding dress on the stage. Then we went to Dianping and contacted the hotel we had seen before that we were quite satisfied with.

It was confirmed that no one had made a reservation on the wedding day, and the price was only 100 yuan more expensive than the one his mother booked. 600 yuan per table was really not expensive, and the venue was much better. This matter is indeed our fault. If his mother was not so anxious and if we asked, there would be no mistake. Now his parents feel that since they have entrusted someone else to book the reservation, if they want to cancel it, they will be embarrassed, and if word spreads, others will think that they are very dishonest.

My husband’s parents said they couldn’t speak out at such an old age. I also admit that there is a gap between the two hotel environments, but let me understand? Now I feel aggrieved and don’t want to do anything anymore. My husband and I don’t know what to do.
