Sharing your wedding with another couple

You should definitely talk to fh. Sounds like you don't want to do this. Better to make your feelings known before he mentions something to them.

I would talk to him more seriously. Was this a nice gesture he hasn't thought through? I think you can do something sweet for them without having to share your reception- meet in the middle. Perhaps gather a few people from your church and have a nice cook out or something to celebrate their union. I would imagine if your FH did really mean it and you talked about your hesitations he would understand.

That sounds like a stressful idea. Did they not have a reception because they didn't have the money? How would you hosts their guests, because surely you wouldn't just invite them to your reception with your friends and family and say the reception is for both of you. Tell FH it's a sweet thought, but this is your day that you will remember forever. Is that really how you want to remember it?

Nope.

That sounds like a lot of mouths to feed. If the other couple could not afford a reception then, who's to say that they can afford one now. You could potentially be paying to feed double the guest list.

Yeah no you need to sit down with FH and have a long talk about this. I wouldn't be ok with it.

Absolutely no!

Nice of him to think of them but this is a huge no.

It's nice.....but no

Yeah, specially since we have a limited guests list to cut prices. I was thinking like have them have their first dance at our reception but i dont want to share it.

Whaaaaaa?

Hell nah

If they just recently got married, wouldn't it be weird to have a reception 6 months later?

If they skipped the reception, it was probably too expensive for them. So unless your fiance thinks picking up the tab for someone else's reception is a burden he wants to take on, I definitely think you should pass on that. It's a sweet gesture and his heart is in the right place but I don't see how that could work out well

Yeah, i didn't know how to tell him but he knows I didn't like the idea. He wanted an initimate celebration to begin with but i wanted a nice wedding and as small as it may seem its not cheap

That sounds like too much to take on. If they wanted one I think they would have found a way to have one. What if you did like a special song or something for them to dance to? If your fiance still wants to honor them that could be a nice way.

Hells to the no.

I wouldnt want to share my day with anyone.

If it was just the first dance or whatever, maybe...but who wants to dance in front of guests you probably don't know? And your guests are there to see you. Not a couple from your church.

No thank you!

Hell to the NAH!

Your FH is very sweet, but misguided. It's not your place to take on other people's problems... definitely doesn't set a good precedent for the marriage. Their problems are not yours. There are wonderful solutions for couples getting married on next to non-existent budget. Hijacking someone else's event is not one of them.
