Exotic-home?

my dearest cousin is having a rather huge fight with the rest of the family concerning where her wedding should be...she loves the ';destination wedding'; that people talked,read and dreams about...bali or maybe hawaii or somewhere in either south or north poles with the penguins = )lol...i am the closest to her.we are the best of friends.%26lt;the family%26gt; demands that i talk to her and make her change her mind and have her ';destination wedding'; at home instead





will lines like these help you think???





';moving %26lt;the family%26gt;requires 5 greyhounds or a whole boeing747...';


';grandma has a pacemaker...she can't go through the metal detector...';


';it is hot and humid in bali...everybody will look like cooked lobster on film...';


guess not...how do i do this?


i know whatever that i say will break her heart...Exotic-home?
Is your cousin planning on paying the airfare and hotel bill for everyone that she plans on inviting to her wedding? She really needs to think of the costs involved for all of the invited guests. Airfare is very expensive as well as hotel rooms and for her guests to pay for their own food. Then she is going to EXPECT after her guests pay their way to receive a gift.





The wedding ceremony does not have to be so extravagant as the ceremony is such a small part of the marriage. Why go into debt to say ';I do';. Have a nice wedding at home where no one has to take days and days off of work, spend lots of money just to attend a wedding.





If she has this NEED to be at an exotic destination, she can go there for her honeymoon and have a ceremony with her husband.








If your cousin's parents are paying for this wedding, they are the ones that have total control of the money and what they are willing to spend. So tell your Aunt and Uncle to set a LIMIT on what they will pay. This will solve the issue.Exotic-home?
You are very welcome and I wish the future bride and groom much happiness.

I think truthfully, that you just have to sit her down,and explain the truth of the whole thing..whether she likes it or not...or maybe you can say to her ';hey, look, you can get married, but, the family isn't going to be able to go...so, maybe you and your hubby to be, should go and get married ,then when you come back,,,we will party!!!';
Just respectfully remind her of the purpose of the wedding tradition -- for family and friends to stand as witness to the vows, and to hold both bride and groom accountable to those vows.





If family and friends can't travel to Antartica or Bali with the bride and groom, then the whole purpose of the wedding is lost.
It is her wedding,and I say she get married where she wants to.She could come back home after and have the reception and only take her closest friends to the wedding.You get married for love not to please everyone else.They should respect her decision,it is her day not there's.
