right then so he has a huge family and thus far they all plan on going to our wedding I have 10 people who are coming. this sort of makes me feel bad. All of my family lives in the lower 48 and don't want to fly to AK to go, my older sister who was supposed to be my maid of honor doesn't want to fly up. What can I do? I have been so frustrated that we have talked about not doing a wedding and just doing a justice of the peace thing. We tried to work the dates so that more people could come but no one wants to go.

sorry to hear that your family doesn't want to attend your wedding. but if you guys planned on getting married and have set a date then just go for it. it doesn't matter how many people go as long as the ones that love you are there is all that matters. if your family does love you i don't see why they wouldn't want to be there on your special day. especially your sister. she is your maid of honor and she can't take a few days off to be at her own sisters wedding? i just don't understand. i am getting married next year and live in a different state as my family. and they are all excited to fly to our wedding. hopefully they will be ale to and everything works out. but if they don't, i am not going to be sad. because all that matters is that in the end i have married my best friend and have shared it with the people who love us and were abe to attend.

If you've already planned it, just carry through with it. After all, it doesn't matter that he has more people there than you do. Alaska is a far trip.
If most of your family is from the same area, why dont you consider having a reception for your friends and family a little while later back home?
But if you don't want a big wedding dont do it. If it is just going to make you unhappy that even your siblings aren't there, then YES I would just do a small Justice of Peace ceremony. After all, spending the money that is just going to make you upset is a waste of money. My husband has a huge family as well but my family is all from one state and his is all spread out. So we got married in my state, where my family lives to make it easier on them.
Just don't allow a very happy day to be miserable for you. If a smaller wedding is what you want, than do it. But don't allow family not being able to travel that far upset your day.

You should have the wedding as planned in AK, and pay for your sister's ticket to be the maid of honor.
Then, schedule a time in the lower 48 and have just a reception. You can get in your wedding dress again, rent a hall and get everyone together to celebrate.

I disagree with a poster above: i think of greater effective than a million/2 will settle for the invitation. For my wedding ceremony some human beings went rogue and confirmed up devoid of accepting. Others introduced undeclared infants. you may could carry out a little truly staging. you haven't any longer reported what number sq. feet you have for the marriage. Is it the ceremony and the reception or in simple terms the reception? Will you hire a tent? Will you hire chairs? the conventional one-family contributors abode can truly contain a house social gathering of 20 conveniently. in case you haven't any longer despatched out your invites, it incredibly is recommended to chop down your way via that customer checklist and probably shrink all of it the way down to instantaneous family contributors and four close pals on the two factors. This easily relies upon, of direction, on the dimensions of your place and your loved ones. If it incredibly is too previous due and you have already despatched invites, you will follow up with a metamorphosis of venue. or you ought to continually have a standing cocktail reception!
