Are you getting married in your hometown?

Laura, on February 19, 2018 at 12:05 PM Posted in Community Conversations 0 64

Are you getting married where you grew up / the place you consider to be your hometown?

If not, why did you choose the city/state/country where you're getting married?

    I am! I actually live in NYC now but it was my dream to get married in my hometown of Texas. Most of my family lives in Texas and my fiancé has a very small family. Many of my friends from the NE have not been to Texas so I am so excited to show them my hometown!

    Nope! My parents moved from the place I grew up last year, and no one lives in that town anymore. It would be pointless to have the wedding there with no one actually living there. I've never lived where they live now, so I wouldn't want to get married there either.

    We are getting married where FH and I currently live. It's easier to plan where to actually live anyways.

    We’re getting married in my FHs hometown. His parents live lakeside. It’s a small town and we spend a LOT of time there already. It’s about three hours away from our house, and an hour away from any large city. It’s been a little challenging to find vendors but I just loved the idea of having it be somewhere we have a connection to.

    We are getting married about 30 minutes north or where we live now. My FH grew up about 45 minutes from there- I was born and raised in FL. I did not want to travel for my wedding unless I was eloping.

    We're getting married in our hometown, but we still live locally, so it makes sense.

    Nope. I’m from NYC and it’s just way too expensive. We decided on a beach wedding in Florida. FH is from Ohio but doesn’t have family there anymore so that didn’t make sense either.

    We’re not getting married in my FW hometown but we’re getting married in her home state, Texas.

    FH and I grew up about 15 miles of each other. We are getting married in the town that sits between our two hometowns - the perfect compromise.

    I grew up a lot of places. I have a "hometown" but didn't live there through high school and only have the smallest number of friends there.
    The FH is from South Carolina, we have met in and live in Charleston, so this is my new hometown! Our city is very important to us and we're trying to incorporate it as much as possible.

    We are getting married in our hometown as we both still reside there and the bulk of our guests are living in the area as well.

    We're getting married in our hometown! We've moved away from there, but both sets of parents and lots of family friends who will be invited still live there, so it made sense Smiley smile plus, it's a gorgeous area so it works out perfectly

    I am an Air Force brat so I grew up all over. FH is from South Florida but moved to CT for college. We live in Western MA and are getting married in central MA. We just fell in love with the venue and the drive isn’t too bad for most of our local guests.

    Getting married in my hometown! We live in WA state but I’m from Honolulu, HI. My whole family is still there and FH family wanted a vacation so it just made sense.

    We are not! My parents retired and moved from my hometown a couple years ago. I still live in the general area (north NJ) as do a lot of the guests so we could have planned the wedding for north NJ.
    We ended up choosing to get married in the town where my parents relocated (about 3 hours away). Part of the reason was cost but my mom’s health isn’t very good and she doesn’t travel well/like to travel because of it. It’s in a vacation town so we figured people could come earlier or stay later and make a trip out if it if they wanted.

    We are both from the same town so that is where we will be getting married.
