Where to have wedding: family in 2 different states, we live in a 3rd.

Most of my fiancé’s family is on the east coast, my family is in Texas. We live in Monterey, CA and are getting married here! It’s so much easier to plan where you actually live and no matter where we had it someone would have to travel. Everyone is excited to spend a weekend out here!

I'd have it wherever whomever is most important for you to attend can come. It doesnt really matter where you get married, it matters who is there.

I’m from Pennsylvania, he’s from Alabama, I live in Ohio and that’s where we’ll make our home. I was adamant we get married where we’ll live.

I am from NC and my fiance is from TX also. We now live in CO. We are getting married in NC because I had my heart set on Asheville, and also because it's within 2-4 hour driving distance for most of the guests. We also have family and friends coming from CA, RI, LA, SC, TX, VA, PA, and Europe. His family is small and scattered all over and we are out of state, but I figured it was easier for everyone to meet close to most guests than for literally everyone except for us to buy a plane ticket. We have only lived in CO for 2 months and I don't have the same emotional connection to it that I do to NC. I have to do out of state planning, but that's ok. I left some stuff with my mom before I moved, am shipping some stuff to NC later, and am visiting again in the spring to finish up bookings/things I need to do in person.

I’m from San Diego area, FH is from Nebraska. We both met and currently live in Chicago. We’ve decided to do the wedding in my hometown, as my dad has multiple sclerosis and is in a wheelchair, unable to travel far. Think about who you most want at the wedding, and who can come.

It's typically easiest to have it where you live. That way, you can meet in person with all your vendors, check out venues, etc. The only reason I'd think it worthwhile to have it elsewhere would be if the vast majority of your wedding guests came from one place, and just the two of you traveling was easier than having everyone travel. However, if you and he come from different places, that isn't going to be the case.

Everyone is so spread out that we're going to do it near to where we live currently, not where we are from, and where his grandfather is since he is our most important guest.

I'm from San Diego, my fiance is from Northern Colorado, we live in a town about an hour from where he grew up. We are having the wedding about an hour and a half south of us (so 2.5 hours from his hometown). It was SO much easier for planning to not do it in CA, since we needed to tour venues and do tastings.

We live in FL, most of my family is in DC, KS, TX, TN. His family is WA. Our friends are all over the country. It will be a DW for all but one other couple and ourselves. Doing it where we live has made things so much simpler for planning purposes.
