It may seem like I am exaggerating, but my FI family and my family like each other about as much as the Montague's and the Capulet's liked each other. Our dad's worked together and were friends for ten years, then things went sour.
With all this drama, my FI and I have decided we want to have a private ceremony. We really don't want our families to ruin our special day. Is this selfish? Is it okay to have a small reception afterwards, and leave it up to the families if they want to attend? Also, I feel this will hurt my friends who were going to be part of my bridal party, how do I go about sharing this with them? How do I share this with people in general, as well as my family? Has anyone gone through something similar? Just feeling a little lost.
