My fiance and I are planning a destination wedding - and by that we mean its 5 hours away, where my fiance is currently living and going to school. We chose to get married the week after he graduates from his Masters program so that people can come to both and not have to fly back and forth. This is an email my fiance just got from his uncle:
"I've been wondering why you're getting married a week after you Graduate, and why is the wedding in SLO?? Most of the people that would attend are from Sacramento, and SLO isn't around the corner. If it were me I'd wait til the end of summer to get married not a week after I graduate. What's the hurry?? Not many people can stay for both events. I'm just curious that's all."
I'm so annoyed by his proverbial parade-pissing! Let me also just say: he is 45, never married, still lives with his Mother (my fiances grandmother) who is getting remarried herself in a few months. So maybe it is hitting him that he is losing both his nephew and mom - but still! I am so annoyed. I was on a high this morning from wedding planning, and that totally burst my bubble and made me feel like crap.
And to clarify, because banaa468 made a good point: only two people, fiances uncle and grandmother would be coming from Sacramento and possibly have to make two trips. The rest of the guests that would want to attend both events are coming from Malaysia and England, so our intent was to save them two rounds of International Airfare
