So the one you love just asked the question and of course you said yes. Unfortunately, there’s just one problem: their families don’t live close to each other. So where is the wedding going to be? Have you decided what state it will be in? Will you marry in his state or yours? Are you going to decide to have your wedding in a place close to where you live with the hope that all your families can come to you? The answers to these questions may seem simple enough, however, even if you’re planning the most traditional wedding, you still need to be flexible.
When you’re choosing a wedding venue and your families are spread out across the country, you need to consider a number of different factors. For example, due to the fact that many couples today wait until they are in their 20s or 30s, it is very likely that they have made a home and settled in a different part of the country than where they grew up. Many times families are dispersed due to employment opportunities. It can be overwhelming to think about how you will get your friends and family to attend your wedding when you and your spouse-to-be live in Arizona and originally grew up in Minnesota and he is originally from Washington. When you add the fact that members of your wedding party are likely to be scattered across the country, it can make wedding planning even more challenging.
First of all, they need to sit down with their fiancée and discuss where they could get married. You may have thought about getting married in a certain place since childhood. Maybe her groom-to-be sees the two of you getting married in a different place. Once you have determined where you want to get married, you need to consider where all of your family and friends reside. It may be easier if you decide to get married in a city where no one in your family lives. Basically, you need to choose a location that makes both of you happy while also making it easy for your friends and family to get there.
If you’re not already set on a particular location for your wedding, you should consider creating a list of your intended guests to see where the majority of them are. If you are considering choosing a place that is a long way from your loved ones, you should consider how difficult it would be to get everyone there.
You should keep in mind that selecting a venue will be the first and probably the most difficult decision in planning your wedding. Hopefully, once you have selected the perfect location, it will be available for your wedding. Once you have a location set, the rest of the planning should be much easier. This way, hopefully, everything will work out so that you can have the perfect wedding.
