Wedding Reception Issues!!
I have a question...I am not engaged (per say) yet but he and I have definitely discussed a future together so this is not a critical thing yet. I DO have a few reservations about things and would like to know peoples opinions. Heregoes:
I grew up in a bible belt, southern Assembly of God, everyones-a-sinner-who's-not-like-us atmosphere. I hated it and have since (college) come to realize that embracing other people is an amazing thing. He grew up in a pretty open home. His parents supported his decisions and understood him well. NOW MY QUESTION:
My parents are expecting a simple reception with cake and punch after the wedding in the fellowship hall of the church. His parents are expecting a big bash with an open bar and lots of partying and fun. He and I don't even want to get married in a church...we would like a simple outside sunset wedding and perhaps a party later. How do I mix his parents and my parents views without making my parents look like prudes and his parents look like drunks!!! This is serious to me!!!
Any advice from people who have been through this sort of thing?
