Hi everyone very new here and even more new to wedding planning. Ive only posted a few times but I need some good candid opinions on this one, being that everyone Im close to has varied opinions on the matter. Please bear with me this might be long.. deep breath..Ok so fh and I have been engaged 6 months now and it seems that this wedding is never going to happen. We originally had plans to marry overseas (we are in ca) with just immediate family (4 people fi and I are VERY shy) which is what we wanted but since his mom wont go thats out. (we had offered to pay her flight/room) Now we are trying to plan something local so that everyone can be included while still having it somewhat intimate. (around 30 people) There are a few problems with this (and this is where advise comes in) , 1st off fh parents were in a nasty with a capital N divorce only 3 years ago and his mom is married to the "other man" , 2nd most of our family doesnt either get along with each other or with the others family(if that makes sense) 3rd every time I start to think about the reception I start to sweat (seriously) because Im so nervous about keeping fis parents and the OM away from each other! We have discussed eloping, but I dont think thats a possibility because we mentioned it to fmil and she gave us a guilt trip( dont ruin my day I raised you(to fi) and crying that sort of thing) I realize Im dragging on Im sorry just wanted to know What would you do?
