When we decided that we were going to have a wedding, we knew that either my family or Keith's family wouldn't be able to attend. We decided to hold it in Wisconsin since we already lived here. That also meant that my family and friends couldn't attend. I was so bummed but we did it anyways. With inviting 45 people and blocking off the whole week of work we figured it would be successful. The whole thing was a disaster from the get go. 18 people shown up, the wedding was over and packed up by 8pm even though we had it until midnight, it was a rainy day, and nothing seemed to go right. Now we want a redo with all of my friends and family able to attend. We are stretching it out a few years to make it enjoyable for all to attend.
