I think I was the only one who said she would have done the wedding differently! That sounds kind of negative, but really, I think is a reflection of the fact that at age 26, I was not strong enough to say "no" to my in laws and their demands to invite people who meant nothing to us. If there had been 50 people at the wedding, it would not have been a big deal, but with only 20, it was. I didn't want a "huge" wedding, but one that reflected us a little more.
On this topic, what do you all think of, or really does anyone here have experience with weddings where the groom's parents are in control, let's say for financial or other reasons?
