Me and my fiance have talked about getting married in Gatlinburg, TN, I've gathered all kinds of info from different sites and also have put my name on mailing list to get info mailed to me at home. But the more I think about the more I kind of want a small intimate wedding close to home where my family and friends can attend. I feel like if I just run off and get married I'm doing my family wrong because I know they want to be there when I get married. What should I do?

Follow your heart! Weddings are supposed to be full of joy and happiness and anything that causes woes is not worth the stress. If he really loves you, then he will follow you to the end of the earth. Make the decision together and do what's best for the both of you. Don't make hasty or irrational decisions or decisions based on anyone other than you and your fiance. Include your family, but don't let that be the be all that ends all.

Part of what makes a wedding wonderful is the ability to share with family & friends this most important time in your lives. If you feel you are doing your families an injustice by eloping then you need to rethink your origional plans. Gatlinburg is nice, but it isn't home.
Families want to be a part of your wedding and yes, there will be some hurt feelings. I see no reason why you can't have the small, intimate wedding you suggested. You only get one shot at this.
But you are the one that has to decide.

I know a couple that had a wonderful wedding in Gatlinburg. It was just their family that attended, but that was all they wanted. My husband and I almost got married there, but decided to have a small one at home. We thought it would be small, but ended up being a lot bigger than we had expected. But I loved my wedding and wouldn't have done anything differently. So go where your heart tells you.

Talk to your fiance. Out of town weddings are hard because everyone won't be able to come. Keep looking locally and also in TN, just try to stay open minded. Also, hopefully you'll only get married once so have the wedding when, where, and how you want to. It's for you and your fiance, not the guests.

If family is important to you, then your fiance needs to be aware of this. If you would only be doing it to make your family happy, that's another issue. Do what YOU want. You're allowed to be a little selfish about your wedding, after all, you don't get married that often (hopefully).

Follow your heart. Unless you really want to run off and get married without your family and friends, then you are really going to regret it.
You haven't finalized any of the Gaitlinburg plans. I personally would change them and move the wedding closer to home. I absolutely loved having those close to me celebrate our marriage. It made it so much more special.

It's your wedding. Do what you and your partner want to do and can afford. No need to start off in debt or fighting to appease other people. This relationship contains two people-you and him. Time to start focusing on that.

close your eyes and picture your wedding.
Is the setting the most important thing to you or the people that are there with you?
Answer that and you have answered your own question.
best wishes.

I just think it's nicer to have it near or at your hometown, where it's easier for family and friends to get to. Mine was in my home church in my hometown, and it was wonderful.
