My fiancé wants to get married but he wants a much smaller wedding than I...

Have a civil ceremony and then get a blessing?

Other way round for us, I wanted same as ure h2b n mine wanted same as u, we having immediate family and close friends ti the day and open house at the evening, it's bigger than I wanted n smaller than he wanted so we sort of met in middle x

Other way around for us too, I don't really want a proper wedding and quite fancied eloping just us two somewhere exotic but he wouldn't compromise on it. We've ended up having the proper wedding but on a smaller scale than most...we've got a cheaper package for just 60 people which works out OK, more than I'd like ideally as the thought of being centre of attention to that many people freaks me out but hey! He wouldn't let go of the desire to have a proper wedding and there was no changing his mind.

Could alway have a private wedding and then a party after with everyone

Do the wedding with ur family (direct family) and his direct family...then throw a massive party....he gets the small wedding but u get the celebration..xx

Other way round .I just want to go and do it but he says his um will never forgive me

I would go abroad. That's what we are doing

Go vegas haha then come back and have a party

Compromise and have just you 2 and 2 witnesses for the ceremony and then just have a party at night

I'm planning on having about 20/25 guests, then a big party at a celebrate venue

Compromise. Have a small intimate wedding then a family meal afterwards and maybe a big celebratory party a few weeks further on.

Talk it through, come to a decision you both are happy with

We had immediate family, siblings parents etc evening we invited all extended family, if u really want a smaller wedding I can always elope and have a family party the weekend after x

Compromise. Immediate family and a couple of friends each for the ceremony

Both of you make a list of all the important people in your life that you must have at the ceremony. Discuss your reasons together as a couple and compromise

Meet half way...have something smaller than what you were wanting but bigger than what he wants. It'll be more intimate.

I wanted us 2 and witnesses away somewhere without telling anyone but my other half didn't want to leave his dad out. So we are now having 17 at the day time and a big party for everyone at night.
But wasn't my idea. X

Oh! I was the opposite. I wanted just the two of us and he wanted a proper wedding. We are having 120 day guests and an additional 100 evening!
