My family is one complicated where you're to be seen and not heard. well my wedding is coming up finally after my parents postponed it, it's now less than 4 months away.
We're about to start planning and the first thing on the list is Venue. My parents are looking for one secondary school garden and rent canopy. my siblings' did theirs elaborate but my parents are now retired so they can't afford hall. my socialite mother-in-law doesn't buy that.
My fiance and I have our dream wedding and that secondary school doesn't fit in. My fiance's parents are expecting guests of 450 because it's their first wedding but my parents want small guests and said they want to outshine us. I have somewhere in mind, a marquee that will contain 700, with 16 A/C, 12 fans, chairs, tables, large parking space and generator in good environment which costs N400k while both families pay in equal share but my parents raged against it saying it's the bride's family duty to choose venue and the groom's should accept anywhere. I told everyone to forget it that i'll pay with my money but my parents said i want to disgrace them and vow not to attend if i want to have it my way.
pls what's your view on this

It is your wedding bro, your parents/inlaw can stay at home if they don't like where you chose.

I was in my friend's wedding last week, he rented his parents and paid them due to many issues and quarells. Am not advising u to but if the situation becomes too hard to bear, u knw what to do.

They want to do it like lets-do-it sha but it has to be standard. i've waited patiently to be a bride. my groom is one what's up guy and we're both full of life want to enjoy the day and remember it for life. but How will my family not reason with me that my wedding venue in Conducive environment is non negotiable as it will set good mood for everyone. school garden wedding with uncut grass ground is not it. I don't want kotonko flies to start biting me and the guests.
