I really need some advice about planning my wedding. So me and my fiance live in DC but are still fairly new to the area. All of his friends and family are in NJ and all of mine are in FL. Our problem is we would like to maybe have the wedding in DC but then everyone has to travel. Another idea would be that we just go to Hawaii to get married since everyone has to travel anyways but then would we have two receptions when we get back? One in FL and one in NJ? The original plan was to have two engagment parties because both of our families wanted to throw parties in our home towns.
I really like the idea of just going somewhere with like 20 people and then having multiple at home receptions but I am worried I will regret not having the big traditional wedding. Anyone ever experienced the same problem and can share what they did?
I would really appreciate it!!!!
Thank you!!!
