I have my heart set on marrying abroad, my partner is saying he refuses to do that and wants England.
reasons I'd like to get married abroad are
Beautiful location and warm weather ( I'm thinking Italy) so not too far flight wise either
I hate being centre of attention and only want a small wedding
Now this will sound petty/mean, as I know technically it's possible to have a small wedding in England, but for me with a large family, it's not!
I Dont want all my family there, they're drug addicts/ annoying and aggressive on drink / known to steal
And that's not just 1 - 5 odd family member member, it's alot!
If we have it in England,I cant not invite them as it would create family drama
However, if I invited them and it was abroad,I know they wouldn't be able to afford to come. but the ones I want there will be able to afford it, so it makes perfect sense to me?
I don't plan to ask for any sort of gift as I appreciate travelling abroad isn't cheap
Reasons my partner wants to have it in England
He wants a HUGE wedding,lots of guests ( no thanks) he also wants to be sure his best mate can afford it. ( we can pay for him I said)
Oh and he wants to ask for money towards honeymoon
I also think it's cheaper to get married abroad now!
So if any of you lovely brides out there have had a similar predicament predicament, how did you resolve it?
I did suggest us going to Vegas to elope lol but he wants family and friends there :)
