LOL, I wish you could talk to both my family and my boyfriend. Everyone but me seems to be determined to have a wedding in the UK. My boyfriend wants me to meet his family before we get married (ideally before he asks my parents for my hand in marriage). I can understand that and it's not unreasonable. But my mom, aunts, cousins and basically everyone but my dad are all pushing for a UK wedding so they have an excuse to visit. As far as I know, the only thing we'll be able to save on if we have a UK wedding is the food (my mom and her sisters are chefs and bakers). Everything will be insanely expensive, especially since I'll be flat broke by that time. Maybe you can talk to my mom and convince her to quit insisting?
