Where Should My Wedding Be?
« on: February 19, 2008, 02:01 AM »

So I need y'alls opinions, I am getting married in 5 months and I thought the venue was set, in Nigeria!!  However, my parents live in the US and are so adamant about it being there.  Just about all my and my fiance's family and friends are in Nigeria and we were all on the same page about the venue, which is my fiance's family church, but all of a sudden my parents have started making a mountain out of a molehill, saying they would not show up at the wedding and that they still have control over me.  They believe weddings are about the parents not the couple, and keep telling me what I want does not matter.  What do y'all think?  I need to know what the norm is back home because I don't live there either,

Your parents are right. The bride's family shld get priority when it comes to the wedding venue and plans.

Your hubby shld find a way to get his family and friends here. He can't have everything at his own convenience.

I agree with 4Him but some other things still have to be put into consideration. 
Will it be easier for your Fiance's folks to come to US for the wedding or the other way round for your parents? You said almost all your family members and that of your fiance stay in Nigeria. Now except if you don't mind having a wedding with only your parents and a few guests in attendance, I think you should consider having it in Nigeria. Weddings in Nigeria are 'family affairs', where every extended member of the family incuding great-grand uncles will like to attend Grin
Talk to your parents and weigh the options available. As per the wedding venue and plans, that should be your family's prerogative. The Wedding should be in your own Family Church not that of your fiance.
