the groom's parents who are paying, who we barely speak to or us the couple?

we're not fighting about it. i'm just thinking when we begin to talk about it i would suggest where i want to go. the wedding is in my home town 2 hours away from where they live so they don't even know what restaurants are good or not. of course i'll consider their price range etc.

I think the bride and groom should decide. And be open to suggestions from the groom's parents.

The people who are paying are the hosts. They decide where they want to entertain their guests. If the bride and groom are footing the bill, they decide. Stupid thing to fight with your future in-laws about by the way.If you read all the Yahoo questions, you would know that you are darned lucky that the inlaws are footing the bill. It is your wedding DAY that's important. If they are from out of town, say a big thank you and let your future hubby give them a list of reputable places in different price ranges. (Your hubby-to-be should do this as they are HIS parents.)Then just RELAX and enjoy the event wherever they choose!

Call her up. There are phones, you know. Ask them what type of price range, restaurant that they would enjoy and you could give them some suggestions.
When my sis got married, her MIL-to-be chose the place just because she was familiar with the area. In her case, it was a rehearsal LUNCH since the rehearsal was early in the day. Actually, everybody preferred that.

The groom and his family choose the location for the rehearsal dinner. You can suggest some places but the final decision is theirs not yours.

Naturally, the hosts of the party make all the decisions about when and where it will be, who should be invited, and what should be served.
Gracious hosts would ask for the honor couple to provide input, and would want to hold the party when it's convenient for them, as it doesn't do much good to have guests of honor who can't attend the party.

Sorry, even though you barely speak ~ the people paying get to decide.

Whoever is hosting it. You can change things, and just host the dinner yourself, pay for it, then you plan where you want it.
They who pay the piper, call the tune!

It should be an agreement between those paying and the bride and groom.
However I feel the bride and groom should have more say in where to have it, since it is for them.

IMO, you should offer them a few options, and tell them about each place. They are paying, and should be the ones to decide.

well try to come to an agreement. Money speaks louder when it comes from ones pocket as a gift
