Bride and Groom can't agree.........

This is a difficult one! You need to find a compromise somewhere that will please both of you in some way but that isn't going to be easy!

Have you considered a smaller wedding in the UK? Perhaps head to Gretna? Or just have a smaller, more intimate wedding in a more traditional style?

I think though, that you do need to come to an agreement between you - think of it as good practice for marriage itself when you will find yourselves disagreeing on all sorts of things!

Why don't you go for a mixture? So small intimate wedding abroad followed by a large party when you get back? You guys can wear your clobber again and if really wanting you can get a blessing done - humanist, religious etc.

This place could be a good compromise... it has the feel of a place abroad, but is based in the UK, and they are happy to cater for much smaller parties (although the numbers do go up to 80 during the day, 120 in the evening). It would be lovely with maybe about 20 - 30 people. I really wanted to get married here, but sadly it just didn't work with our numbers. It's beautiful though!

Good luck in finding somewhere!

What about a small wedding with only a few to the service then have an evening do ? Maybe if u got married at 3 or something

I would suggest you compromise, although that can be more easily said than done.

Perhaps you can both make a list of your own top priorities and see what you both have in common & go from there

This definitely shouldn't be an either/or situation, it's both of your wedding! You need to decide between you why you want these things and decide if there is a middle ground.
