Hi! My fiance and I both live in Canada but I am from Scotland - I have only lived here for the past 2 years and all of my family and most of my friends are still in Scotland. We are getting married - official ceremony and Reception in Scotland in October 2019.
I always wanted a summer wedding but as my fiance's family are farmers, and we have a ton of other weddings to attend in June/July, we figured the Fall will be best, as that's when most people can come with us. Turns out almost all of our friends and family can make it to Scotland which is GREAT, but means we are not sure many people will even want to come to a second Reception when they get back to Canada... So we are toying with the idea of a pre-wedding celebration send-off - a casual golf tournament followed by a bbq and some drinks/supper at the fiances farm. And it means we get to do a summer celebration as we wanted.
Here's my question - Is this inappropriate? It would not be anything resembling a wedding and definitely just a party - but would this offend our coworkers/Canadian family and friends who are not coming to Scotland with us? As when we return it will be miserable weather (we live in Saskatchewan), probably snowy, and damn cold. I'd love some advice. Thanks.
