I now live 2.5 hours from most of my family, and my fiance and I have announced that we are having our wedding in our current city. My mother has told me that most people will not attend the wedding because of the distance.
We are having it on a long weekend, on a Saturday night to compensate for the travel time.
Both of our families and most of our friends will have to travel to get to the wedding, so I guess it is technically a "destination wedding" for them (not us). We are planning and paying for the wedding ourselves, so having it local to us makes it easier on us, but "harder" on everyone else.
Are we being unreasonable? What can we do to help this situation?
