My fiance and I are planning to get married in Hawaii in 2009. Because it is a destination wedding, we've already told family and friends about it so they could start to save up.
His parents and brother's family are saying that they won't be able to go because they can't afford it. I don't want to be rude, but we're paying for everything ourselves and all they'd have to do is fly out...isn't 18 months enough time to save?
Also, because my parent's are pretty well off they think I'm spoiled for having a wedding in Hawaii, and are giving me grief over it. They're being very vocal about their disdain, saying "Well, I would think it's more important to have your family with you rather than have a fancy wedding."
Both my HTB and I would love to have them with us, but we've always said (for 5 years now) that we wanted to get married in Hawaii. We have given everyone plenty of time to save up money, and we're trying to make everyone happy. It's so hard!
What should we do?
