I know you want to make both families feel good, but trust me, doing what they want, will only make you miserable. I know. I got married a little over a year ago. So many people putting their 2 cents in and telling me what they want to see. At first I wanted to make everyone happy, then I got real mad at myself and said this isnt about them, they arent going to be in the marriage, this is about me and my hubby. I was tired of people bossing me around and making me feel bad if I didnt do what they wanted.
This is YOUR day, not their, they are guests. I know its hard too if they pay, I know mine paid, but my dad butted in and said to my mom shell do what she wants not what you want or the other family wants and well support whatever it is. So I got married at the beach. Couldnt have asked for a better thing.
Be honest to yourself. Do what you want and what will make you happy. This is your marriage and your special day. Parents are already married they had their day.
