My fiance and I are both 22 years old. We're getting married in May. Both of our families are a good distance away. (His family is about 350 miles away and mine is about 100 miles). We really want to spend the holidays together this year. Actually we always spend the holidsays together...at my parents' home. We want to spend them alone together this year.
His family is fine with it. They understand that the distance is huge, and agree that they will see us whenever we have the time/money to come up there. His mother comes and visits 2-3 times year (for about a week at a time).
My parents, however, throw a fit if we aren't there at least once a month. When we try to come up for a day, we're always roped into staying the night (or guilt tripped if we don't).
We were going to do Thanksgiving alone, but my mom threw a fit about this being "her last year" (cause we're getting married this year). Is it too much to ask to be able to be alone together for the holidays?
