@Avabelly__ Unfortunately, no matter where you live in life, there will always be differences with neighbors & others who will become your best friends. See if you can find a Boy Scout troop or someone at church who will help you or even someone who might want to salvage the wood let it go
@Avabelly__ I also agree with @MelissaBecpibb. Although this is a difficult situation, don't back down on your needs & wants. Remember from now forward it is your life with your husband. If you give in now they will interfere with your marriage every chance they get. You've got this!
@Avabelly__ I agree with the other responses. This dress is absolutely beautiful and elegant. This is your wedding, your day and what you wear, how you look & feel when looking in the mirror and photos years from now is the most important thing.
