Bride speaking: Neither of us are religious & don't want a big production of a wedding. We had decided on getting married, alone, on the Virgin Islands. We were happily researching & planning when husband-to-be's, 2 sisters starting laying on the guilt about not being able to attend and they want us to change plans & get married here instead. Husband-to-be is extremely torn, wants to make family happy, has an extremely hard time telling anyone "no". I don't want to change plans & think his sisters are being selfish & rude, and should be happy for him. They know there would also be a reception planned in his hometown, yet insist they must be at the ceremony, even though they know we want to have it private and uncomplicated. Also, both sisters have unruly children that no one can control. The kids will be fighting for attention the entire time if they are present. How does the bride-to-be handle this? Serious and well thought-out answers only please. Thanks.
