My fiance and I are preparing for our wedding next year. It's not about how many people attend, how many gifts we get, having the most beautiful dress etc, it's about us, the vows and our family being there. Originally we said we'd have a simple ceremony and a backyard bbq, my mother called it "Tacky", so than we said "ok simple ceremony and casual reception..jeans and all" that was called "Red-necked", now we've firmly decided to rent a cottage up north (about 2 hrs from here) have the ceremony there and then party, letting out of towners crash for the night and in turn spending our honeymoon at this cottage. It's perfect, it's us, it's what we want to do. But now my mother is saying "people wont come if they have to drive 2 hrs, your sisterinlaw will have a new baby, it's not convienant", etc. How do I deal with her without offending her? It's OUR wedding. We feel if people want to come..they will. Any suggestions? My mother never had strong opinions when my 2 brothers got married.
