We're getting married in a little less than a year so even though I just got engaged I'm trying to figure a few things out ASAP. Especially, because my life is already super busy. So we've got two options for where we could have our wedding: the city where we live or a destination wedding in Greece. Our friends and family are pretty spread out and travel will be involved no matter what. However, most of our friends travel a lot because of our industry. I'd say all of our friends have gone to at least one destination wedding. So while I think we'd have fewer guests than if it were local, I still think a decent amount would go.
Most of my family live in the town that I'm from that's 6 hours away. My fiance's family and most of his friends live in the city where we live. Most of my friends live in a different state on the opposite side of the country. So again, travel will be required no matter what lol.
We love the city where we live and it's special to us. However, Greece has always been a special place for us. We first said I love you in Greece and then later got engaged in Greece. We've been there 4 times now over the years and every trip has been amazing and special to us in one way or another. I know the cost would be a factor, but we would probably pay for our guests' accommodations. Logistically, though, having a local wedding would be much easier. My fiance has the same thoughts as me. It would be amazing to get married in Greece, but it would be easier to do it in our city. Maybe we could somehow do both? What are your thoughts?
