I would say which ever place you two mutually decide on, where it *feels* right! After discussing it and going over the two different places, just see where it feels right and what will work out for both of you best. Maybe ask the opinions of your family to, but only if they can be objective about it. lol, good luck girl ;)

Do you both live in those places now or are you from there? Where will you be living after the wedding? Although traditionally the wedding is held in the bride's hometown (with the assumption that the bride's family will help with planning), it can be wherever planning will be easiest for you both. What sort of vision do you have for your wedding? Do you see yourself getting ready at your parents' house or at your home or even a hotel room? Will family be able to stay at relatives' houses or rent a hotel room, etc.? What wil the weather be like each place? Give it some thought and hopefully you can both agree on some place wonderful! Congrats!

I think you should definitely get married in either your or your fiance's hometown area. That way only half of the guests have to do any significant traveling instead of all of them having to travel to a seperate location. In order to choose where, also take other things into consideration such as significant health or financial issues on either side that would make the travel more difficult. Also you may want to take into account who is doing most of the planning. Trying to plan a wedding in a city you aren't currently living in could become very difficult and expensive. Congrats to you and best wishes!

Do either of you have a preference? There are hundreds of options...
You could do it in S.C. or Michigan. You could elope and then have two receptions [one in each state]. You could meet in the middle - as in, halfway between your town and his to have the ceremony and reception. You could have a destination wedding.
Will it be a big or small wedding? Are either of you saying, "I want to do it here?" This could cause problems but you can do it if both of you are willing to compromise. If you have less people on your guest list, it'd probably be easier for your side to travel down to South Carolina.

I've seen a few good suggestions here.
I will agree and say that if you wanted to go traditionally you should have it in Michigan....
But if you could care less about tradition then you could do it in SC.... I hear Hilton Head is gorgeous....
Or you could do it in the place that you two will be living in.... maybe that's California....
Or you could do a true destination wedding.....
Talk with your fiance. Pick your poision.

Run away and get married under the anvil at Gretna Green in Scotland.
If you can't afford the time or money, get married at a drive-thru chapel in Vegas.
Either of these weddings will bring a smile to your face every time you recall them in years to come.
I've lost count of the number of weddings that I've attended where everyone looked miserable and stressed.

The best thing to do is get married on a beach in the islands Alot of time the weddings are free and y'all can go on the honeymoon as well... then you can rent a hall when y'all get back and have a party something to consider
the cheapest vacation/wedding: domincan republic
Good Luck,

Depending on who has more family. I'm not sure how far away they are from eachother. But talk it over between your family and him and his family. Try to compormise because its likely that he will want to have in SC and you will want to have it in Michigan.
You could make a compromise like if we have it in SC then you will pay for most of the wedding or if you have it in Mich. Then he will pay for most of it.
Just an idea.
Or you could get married somewhere in the middle between SC and Michigan.
