Hello Everyone! OK. So I just recently got engaged and have been pondering about the location of my wedding. My fiancée claims he doesn't care where it is. My family wants to do a destination wedding because we had already planned on going on a family vacation when my brother returns from Afghanistan. I love the idea of getting married on a beach. However, we brought up the idea to his family but the three main people do NOT agree. His grandma's reaction was "I'm not going, I'm too old." His mother's reaction was "HELL NO!" and his father will NOT fly anywhere (and will make a big deal about EVERYTHING.) My family however cannot afford the family vacation and a wedding. If I cannot be on a beach then I will have the wedding in my hometown anyways and that is still a four hour drive for them. I feel like they will make a big deal out of everything we do. I'm a very organized individual so I would like to get on the ball with booking a venue or destination wedding where ever it may be. But now his family wont even talk about it... WHAT do I do??
Everyone has been telling me to do what I want to do but I am torn between the two ideas. Do I want everyone to be there or do I want it to be simple and stress free (with or without the in laws?)
