basically that. don't want to drip feed so going to explain everything. the church where we're having the christening is walking distance from mil. we chose that church not because of that but it was where DP was christened. it's also within 20 mins max for people on DP side of the family. my family is 30 mins plus from the church. because of this I want the party in the middle of everyone so people who couldn't make the ceremony can come to the party afterwards and when people want to leave it's not far for everyone.
I found the area roughly in the middle and I told mil. she screwed her nose up and went no you don't want it there have it at the pub by the church. I explained that I want it in the middle so people who couldn't come to the ceremony can come to the party and that some of my family members live and hour away.
so aibu to put my foot down and want it in the middle or am I making it harder for people. I'm thinking she wants it by hers so it's closer for her to get back home, so she can have a drink and not have to drive?
