Hi all, I am pretty new around here, but I could really use some help.
My FI and I are just getting to begin planning our wedding, even though we've been engaged for over a year. We were waiting for him to finish school/ find a job so that we would be financially stable. Stable, though, doesn't mean big bucks-- we have a very small wedding budget.
So far, the most stressful thing about planning has been the issue of alcohol at the wedding. My mother and father have told me that they would be offended by alcohol at the reception, and would leave as quickly as possible if it were there. However, FI's mother and father have said that they expect a bar, especially since they are giving us $10000 towards the wedding.
If we do serve alcohol, we alienate my parents. If we don't serve alcohol, we alienate his parents. What do I do?
