My boyfriend and I have been together for 8 years and have talked about marriage, he has been hinting a lot at it lately, so I think maybe I might get engaged this year...
However I get worried about a wedding ceremony and how it would take place as we currently live in the Boston area with both of our family spread out everywhere, mainly on the opposit coast. His nuclear family being in Seattle, extended family in Ohio, and my whole family being in California.
I am posting this in hopes that anyone out there has any advice on some options for me to think of on handeling this situation (when engaged) in the future. Also, I am wondering if anyone has been in this situation, I would greatly appreciate any information from your experience.
Thank you!
Andrea
Re: Need some advice
Still here and still fabulous!
When the time does come for you to plan your big day (after you're engaged), I have one piece of advice. Plan the wedding you and your FI want, not the wedding you thing everyone else wants. You will never be able to please all of your guests...and if you try, believe me it will be a stressful and painful process. FI and I have been trying to make every decision by asking ourselves "is this what will make US happy on our wedding day?". It may sound selfish to some, but it's not about being selfish. Your guests have the option to attend or not - you and your FI will have these memories of your day for the rest of your lives. It's ok to do whatever makes you both happy.
