It is ultimately up to the bride & groom to choose, but my vote would go for wherever the bride & groom call home!
That makes their planning easiest. I know it is not easy and not everyone will be happy, but you need to do the best for you both.
I'll give you my facts - Both sides have family in multiple states. We both have the majority of our family in Northern New Jersey. Groom has some family in Central PA. We will be living in Central PA. We decided early on that where we will be calling home is where we will have the wedding. We understand some of our guests may not want to drive 3 hours from NJ to PA. However, in consideration we are having a Saturday wedding (all except wedding party could come out to PA "day of" and it won't interfere with work), we are serving a full dinner (they won't have to pay for their food that night), and we are arranging for a hotel very close by that will offer a discounted rate for the night.
I am even contemplating hosting a brunch the next day at the hotel but we have to see if that is within budget.

Where ever the Bride and Groom want it. Since it is a wedding it is the only time in your life your whole family will fly out and see you or do what they have to do.

Figure out which state would require the least amount of travel for family and friends. Or, if one family is much better off financially, have it in the other state so the poorer people don't have to travel.
Personally, I'd have it wherever I was living, in order to cut down on wedding stress.

Traditionally, the wedding is held in the Bride's hometown. But if there is a place that is special to you as a couple, you should have it there. Otherwise, just choose a place that will be convenient for your guests who will be traveling.

Where you both attend church, if you do not attend the same church more than likely you will have to attend marriage counceling classes. it is all up to the couple. Dont try to make everyone else happy or you will end up hating the whole wedding process.

I agree with Hitch. Use your home church. It will be much easier to plan because you''ll be having to go to the church more often to take care of all the wedding necessities.

Where they go to church now. Their " Home Church". Whatever state that it's in. THe other family will have to fly or drive in.

You can have the wedding anywhere you want. It should be a place that both you and your fiance love.. start looking around and you will know when the right venue jumps out at you.

You need to talk it out and decide what will be best. Discuss who has the best transportation and all of that. Then decide.
