    Nay. 45 minutes away from mine. She's from California so several states from hers.

    I will be getting married in my Fiancé’s hometown. His entire family is in or just outside of the town so it made perfect sense!

    Yes, because we live there and we found a perfect venue on the town limits. Smiley heart

    No we decided we wanted a beach wedding and picked Clearwater Beach in Florida because of the beautiful sunsets and amazing location.

    Nay! My fiancé is from Buffalo, NY and I’m from Greenwood, SC. We live in Charleston, SC and are getting married here in a town called Mt. Pleasant.

    Nay....we chose a venue about an hour away from our hometown.
    It was more budget friendly than our hometown venue.

    No. My FH and I are from different cities, but the same state. My FH is a mountain person and I have always dreamed of a vineyard wedding, so we chose a vineyard in the mountains. Our venue is a little over a hour from my FH’s home town & about 2 hours from mine.

    Somewhat. We’re getting married in the next town over, which is like 5 mins away so I considered it the same area.

    We haven't come to an agreement yet.. I prefer a small intimate destination wedding and he wants a big hometown wedding.

    Were getting married in his hometown, at his parents house actually. Its about 30 minutes from where we currently live. We decided on this location because first of all its gorgeous and i liked the idea of being able to visit the place where we were married and also it will one day be his.

    Yay! We are getting married in our home COUNTY, so I count it. Our venue is only 20 minutes away from where we live, and 10 from my parent’s home. So I’m counting it! We decided to get married locally because it’s a beautiful area, we found a way to have an amazing lakeside venue for extremely cheap, and 90% of our guest list lives here!

    NAY my hometown is small, it does have a little venue, but it wouldn't fit my huge family. I decided to have it 35 mins away from home where most of my family is and where hotels are more ready available

    We are getting married locally. Most of our guests are here with us and they are quite a few older relatives. We didn't want to have people travel so we nixed the idea of a destination wedding.
