I’m moving 20+ hours from my family once I marry FH. We have no idea where to get married. Where I live is beautiful but would have almost no guests because we’re new to the area. Where he lives is SOOOO far. We already have to get a little trailer to move all my stuff. Should we get married somewhere in the middle? Like make it a destination wedding for everyone? I have no idea. Also, if we don’t get married where he lives, should we have another reception after for his family & the people from his church?? I don’t know. I already don’t get a bridal shower or bachelorette party or anything because all my friends live so far apart 😢

    Where is his family, where is your family, and where will you live? And are the majority of the guests in one of those three?

    Only you can decide what location works best for your situation. For example, if one person has more older family or family with less expendable income to travel, it might make sense to get married in their area.


    You don’t necessarily have to have another reception for his family. Sure, it’s an option if you want, but that’s another big expense.

    I live in Idaho. He lives in East Tennessee. His family isn’t originally from that area. Although they attend a small church there. But neither of us lives really near many of our guests

    Since you are moving to Tennessee it will be a lot easier for you to plan a wedding there. It sounds like some of his family is there too. I'd also check with your most important family and friends if they'd be willing to travel to Tennessee for it. If they aren't then you'll have to weigh the options.

    I would plan a wedding in the area you’re moving to.

    Pick one location where the majority of your guests will be. Is that where you and he live close to his family or where your family is? People travel to weddings everyday, both cross country and overseas.
