we were getting married jan 2015, big wedding, everything booked/deposits paid. However, due to serious health problems within the family, we have deceided to bring it forward to early 2014. However, we will have to scale back considerably as we wont have saved enough to have the big do we had planned, as we thought we would have the year to save. So we plan to have a small ceramony with close family only, but therin lies the dilemma. Who constitutes close family, and are live in partners of close family included. Personally, i feel they should be, but DP isnt so sure. Has anyone faced this dilemma. How does one prioritise.
