I'm still not sure what my problem or issue is. The only thing I can think is it has to do with us eloping.

Dang I saw nutcracker so many times that I think I can dance if myself. Nope. Wouldn’t go to that one either.
I think I know now what you mean. Some families go to events together as a whole bunch of people in extended family. We don’t do that usually. We get together in each other houses a lot but no going to events together. If we go it’s within our own immediate families like spouses and minor kids. We don’t drag to events together as adults unless like if one person is exhibiting or performing like your dads choir. But other than that no thanks. I am with you on this.
I’d not tell them about overwhelming fiancée (don’t want families resent each other) but would tell that you have other arrangements made like work Christmas parties or tickets purchased to something already or other similar stuff. Unless your mom and dad dance in nutcracker performance or play Santa and Mrs. Santa somewhere, no need to be attending those events lol
