My fiancee and I are planning a destination wedding in Maui next June which we have just decided on. We were originally thinking about having a larger wedding back home with all our friends and family, but my fiancee just couldn't bare to spend all that money. So we have decided to do a small destination wedding with just our immediate family. And when I say immediate family, I mean my fiancee's parents, my parents (they are divorced, so there will be my mom and her long term partner, and then my dad and my stepmom), my brothers and sisters, and then my best friend since kindergarten. My fiancee isn't inviting any of his friends to our wedding, because he is finding it hard to narrow it down to just one or two people. I let my siblings know that we had decided on a date for our wedding and a destination, and my sister has automatically assumed that her boyfriend is invited. She is the only sibling with a boyfriend, and they live together. However, my fiancee and I really aren't that close with him, and had no intentions of inviting him to our intimate wedding. How do I break the news to my sister that her boyfriend isn't invited? (They live together in our Mom's basement suite, and have been together for about a 1 or 2 years) My sister has said that her and her boyfriend had been wanting to take a vacation next spring, so this wedding is perfect. How do I handle this? I'm mostly concerned about him attending our ceremony. I really want to keep it intimate, and since my fiancee and I aren't very close with him, it doesn't make much sense for him to be in attendance. It will also make me feel a little uncomfortable if he's there. Would it be okay to not include him in the ceremony, but say if he wants to come out for dinner with everyone after the ceremony, that would be ok? Please help!!!
