Umm No I am not getting married :)

Although the day is for both Bride and Groom, I would have no problem with it being in her home state. I think that from the time Brides are little girls they think about how their wedding will be and who they want to be there,so if that means having it in her home town to make that happen it's fine with me and I know my family and friends would agree.

If there are friends and acquaintances in both states, then have the wedding in state most convenient to the hosts of the post-ceremony reception. If relatives in the other state want to throw a big party the next time the couple visits their area, that sounds wonderful. And yes, they can call it a reception, even if it's a grill out or a pool party -- it's purpose is to receive the newly married couple. Just don't try to have both parties on the same day.

I think it depends on who is making the bulk of the plans. Where do THEY live? Aside from destination weddings, I think you should consider where the majority of the family lives as well. My husband is from TX and I'm from IN and we were both living in IL when we got married. We were married in my Indiana hometown. My sisters(many!) and mother made almost ALL the plans, which included booking and checking and arranging and decorating the Reception Hall (with the help of the owners of the lovely Marina Restaurant where our reception was held) and the church, a church I belonged to as I was growing up. All this was within 5 minutes driving time from my Mom's house. It provided SO MUCH PEACE and simplicity to be close to where the plans were made!! IIf you invite relatives who live far away in enough time, you would be surprised at how many people will come, considering a wedding to be a very necessary reason to make travel plans! Best wishes and blessings!

I would hope that you are going to live in the same state together after you are married. And with that you should get married in the state that you will be living in.

usually it is in the home state of the bride. but the couple can compromise. some go to the state where there would be the most guests from. know what i mean? i am from illinois, that is where the wedding was and where most of the guests are from. i had a friend that lives in tennessee and had the wedding in illinois, where she is from and where most of the guests are from. it is just all about what the couple wants.

Wow. This actually happend to me, and it sucked. My wife is from PA, and I'm from OH. My family is huge, and we are all really close. She is only close with her parents, but she insisted that we have it up there. Of course, I caved and the wedding was in Philly. Her parents were adament about having it close to their house because they were paying for it, which makes sense. Not much of my family could/wanted to make the 12 hour trip, but it turned out to be a great wedding, and they all lived happily ever after!

I would say the brides if her parents are paying for it, but if it's a 50-50 thing then wherever you will be living would make sense. If you still can't decide then the Bride gets the coin toss.
