Okay, one more desitanation wedding question...?

Question

I feel stupid for asking this but, here goes. I really wanted to get married in Colardo, but off handedly my mom mentioned Lake Tahoe, and so, i did a little searching and found a place that gave me a comprehives list and pictures of their facitlity. And its cheaper than Co. I haven't don't invites, and haven't done much real planning. What should I do?

BTW I really liked the pictures from Tahoe, it has the snow and big windows so no one has to sit outside, plus it's a 4 to 6 hour drive away for most of my family and since fiance has family in No. Cal, and I have family in So. Cal, we might not need hotels for everyone. It seems more logical right?

Answer 1

Most important "what do you want"? We all have dreams for our daughters but it is your wedding and hopefully a once and done deal.Remember,you can't please all the people and the first one you should please is you and your future husband

Answer 2

Sure, it seems logical when you put it that way, but is that what YOU want?  Lake Tahoe is a beautiful place for sure, but if you've got your heart set on somewhere in Colorado, then you need to make certain you want to change that, and it's not just your mom trying to influence you in a certain direction.  

What I would do is lay out the pros and cons of each place you're considering--write them out side by side so that you can compare.  Write everything you can think of, from cost, to weather issues, to scenery, to the ease of travel for others, everything.  Just remember, this is YOUR wedding, not your mother's.  If you're paying for it, she really has no say.  And, even if she's contributing money for it, she should allow you to make your own decision, and support you in that.  

Good luck!
