Opinions needed!

Okay so I am new to the idea of DW, but it is sounding better and better to me. Here's some background: I won't be getting married until summer 2015 , my fiancé and I have been together since we were 13, and our wedding will be during our 10th year together. My budget is around 12-15000 and my parents are paying for it. I think we could get more for our money by having a wedding in Europe somewhere with my immediate family and his immediate family, honeymooning there for a week or two, and coming back to have a small celebration with friends. My fiancé is hesitant because he is close with his friends and isn't sure he wants a ceremony without them. I know his friends would be fine with it, and we could celebrate with them when we get back. Any opinions on this situation?

    First and foremost would be to sit down and hash out what each of your "must have" list for the ceremony is -- not only the guests you want but also the feel of the day / what aspects of a wedding ceremony are important to each of you. If that list ends up including your FI's friends (for him) then I don't think it is really fair to continue to push for a DW that wouldn't include them. Luckily for us, H had a small group of friends (that were also mostly on my own must-have list) and they were all able to attend. I think that if anyone on either of our must have list wasn't able to attend we would have altered our plans going in. 


    Also - welcome and congrats!!
