My finance and I will be married in 3 weeks.
My family is very small (my parents, my younger brother and my grandmother). None of these people have any other place to gather on holidays.
My fiance's family is large. There are a lot of people that gather for his holidays.
My mother usually has her holiday at 2 p.m., which makes it almost impossible to go to any other occassion. This Christmas his family rearranged their holiday so that I could be present.
I don't want to be a couple that spends holidays apart, especially once we have children.
Any suggestions on how to deal with this. I know my mother will make it very stressful on us. She will act as if his family is more important than mine if we don't come to her gathering when she wants to schedule it.
How can I deal with this without hurting anyone's feelings??
