stress help: I dont know where I want to get married. - Help.com

I dont know where I want to get married.

We live in TN but our parents live in Minnesota and Illinois along with our families. We love the mountains and were going to do it down here but my family is pressuring me to do it closer to them for convenience. I feel like no one is supporting me and my fiance and I are tempted to elope and not tell anyone till its over but if we do that I am afraid I will regret not having at least our parents there. I dont know what to do. I feel so unprepared for all this stress I feel. Anyone have any wedding advice?

My wedding was in a courthouse thanks to military and his parents being in cali and mine being here in ga. Everyone complained and whined so we did behind the closed doors but we did invite anyone in my family that could make it. We are going to have a regular ceremony sometime in TN also since it is close to my parents who are financially unstable.
Your best bet both of you (since fiance’ should be supporting you!!) is to put your heads together figure out what YOU guys want to do, and if it’s a concern about family pick a site closer to the family that may have harder time travelling. Or even do a simple ceremony close to your home then do another simple ceremony close to his a year or so later. That way everyone can be happy. It would be about the same price for 2 simple ceremonies spread apart as it would be for 1 really nice big ceremony that not everyone will be able to enjoy. Just do what you guys think is best though. Make sure you guys are happy!

Elope…. i don’t understand why parents and family put so much pressure on people who want to get married… it’s selfish as they are only interested in the “party” after it.
