Non covid Related - fh family can’t make the wedding...

Hi friends,
So my FH’s family lives in a different country, a very poor country and there is a very real chance that they won’t be able to make the wedding due to inability to get visas/passports etc and he is pretty upset about it. And there is no way my family could afford to travel over to do a wedding there. I feel as though if both our families can’t be there, then I don’t even want to have a wedding, that the only fair thing to do would be to elope? (Which Im not opposed to, we’ve considered it before the family stuff was an issue. I just would be sad to miss out on the wedding I’ve been dreaming of since I was a little girl ya know) Thoughts??
