Hi everyone! So I got engaged in December and right away I started planning, even though our wedding isn't till July 2017. Of course I already had a Pinterest board from before I was even dating my fiancé so I already had an idea of what I wanted. Oregon is what I want. I love it so much. We went to Portland for vacation last February and I was ready to move there. My fiancé loves it too, and we both would love to live there someday. Anyways...I found the perfect venue and we both instantly agreed on it. He emailed the venue and got prices and more pictures. It was all perfect...until my fiancé suddenly changed his mind. We live in Denver and both of our immediate families live here as well, and of course most of our friends. So when my fiancé started thinking about everyone else having to travel for our wedding he suddenly was against the idea. Honestly a wedding in Colorado is going to be very expensive because we both want a mountain setting with trees, but all the venues like that are in ski towns. Which means the venues are very expensive and so is lodging for our guests. But if we had a wedding in Oregon we're asking our guests to buy a plane ticket, a hotel room and probably a rental car since my venue is on the coast, about 2 hours from the airport. I defiantly see my fiancés point, he doesn't want to inconvenience anyone. But at the same time, I have my heart set on this venue in Oregon. I want my family and friends to see why I love Oregon and I want them to experience it. I want my wedding to be unique and memorable. I know it isn't a trip to Mexico or Hawaii, but it's still a mini vacation for everyone! Whenever we try to sit down and talk about what to do I get knots in my stomach because I know we aren't going to agree. He is thinking of everyone else and I'm being selfish and thinking about what we want. But if someone can't come, that's fine! I won't be mad! I won't hold it against anyone. But is it wrong for me to even ask people to travel out of state for my wedding? Especially since it's just because I love the state and the scenery? Is that not a good enough reason to get married somewhere? How much is too much to expect your guests to spend when traveling for your wedding? Sorry this is so long! I could definitely keep rambling but I'll leave it at this for now! Thank you!! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
