The writer struggles to persuade her fiancé to choose a small courthouse wedding over a large traditional ceremony due to their differing social circles. With anxiety about her side of the family being sparse compared to his, she contemplates the implications of inviting distant relatives. Seeking a compromise, suggestions include having an intimate ceremony followed by a larger reception or mixing guests at the ceremony to alleviate discomfort. Additionally, the writer expresses gratitude for a job opportunity but fears the distance from her close-knit family.
I brought up the idea of a small courthouse wedding instead of a big, traditional ceremony, but my fiancé immediately said no.
The thought of a large wedding has been making me anxious; my side would be almost empty compared to his.
I have a few close friends who will support me, but still feel it’s not enough to fill the pews or match my fiancé’s side.
Potential compromises include hosting a small ceremony with a large reception or having a big event with combined seating.
