Honest answer. Do as you initially plotted or you will unhappiness it in the long run. My wedding day was what the in-laws wanted….nothing of what we wanted so now it was just a huge pain to get the legal part done–even even if we are religious. They will eventually get over it. If you give up what you want here you will end up doing it for everything else or when you finally make a stand, there will be a huge fight. We are now in the middle of dealing with the non-acceptance of the in-laws realizing that they aren’t the ones having our first child or in succession our marriage. —Tell them you appreciate their suggestions but this is what you want. Remind them how they had what they wanted on their wedding days and how special it was to them because of that. You may end up hurting a few feelings but we aren’t perfect and we certainly can’t make everyone pleased all the time.
All final decisions should be by the Bride and Groom!
Don’t listen to anyone else, Do it your way and have it Video taped and play it at the reception. Don’t worry about his sisters, its not there wedding!
keep insisting, angrily if necessary, that the plans have already been made.
Wedding alone on V. Islands, reception upon return.
your man will follow your wishes, so stick to your choice.
Being a newlywed myself, I know a thing or too about trying in-laws during that time! What it boils down to is the two of you. Remember, no matter what happens, the vital thing is for you to get married! Your soon-to-be husband will have to buckle down and austerely, tell them ya’ll have chose on a private ceremony. It may hurt some feelings, but they’ll get over it. Take lots of pictures to show them and make sure they are invited to the reception later on. If they stay mad at you, they need to grow up and go on with their lives… (a few less people YOU have to deal with, haha!) And about the kids, if they are that terrible… then technically, if you were having a huge wedding, you could place "no family please" on the invite… I don’t blame you at all… just talk rationally with your fiance and his family and lay it out for them!
Its your wedding its up to you. You make the plans then invite them. Its that simple.
Well tell them that this has always been your dream to get married on the beach and jokingly say they are welcome to attend if they want to book a trip to the Virgin Islands. Just play up the fact that you are excited about coming home to the reception and how nice it will be. My dh did the habitual wedding and got to go on a small honeymoon but if I had to do it all over again I reckon I would just elope and go on a terrific honeymoon!! You could also mention the cost of a huge wedding and say that you would rather just elope. Offer to have the ceremony taped and then it could be played at the reception. Just some thoughts - I hope that it all works out for you - Excellent Luck!
Personally, I would not have had a wedding if I didn’t reckon it was vital to have everyone that know and likes me there to share our pleased day.
Even if, in preparation my own wedding I got a lot of unsolicited advice from everyone that you have to take with a grain of salt.
Go with your instinct, but be careful. This will certainly set the tone of how your relationship will be from now on with your in laws.
They can always join you for your adult destination wedding if you like.
cool we got to get into your affair…all aptly ..u know about …putting the monster on ur site…so and ….when u make ur wedding…make sure you invite to kind of people…shared…non shared…all ethnic group ..by no mean of offending..categorized..they problem will be no problem..poor people believe me are mostly sweet…and rich people picki..and obnosious….rollal people are once upon the time madonna…and ect sassy
You can tell the sisters that they are welcome to attend the adults only ceremony in the virgin islands.
But, you both have to realize that while it is *your* wedding, the two of you have to weigh family harmony vs. your desires. If his family is going to freak out and that bothers him, then you both will have to reconsider. If his family will austerely be a small perturbed, then do as you wish.
While I want to tell you that it’s your wedding, and you should be able to do whatever the heck you want to, the top is, a wedding is about the merging of 2 families. Your relationship with your future in laws sounds like it may be off to a rocky start, banning them (as well as your own family) from the wedding is not going to help matters much, and may really worsen them. You’re going to become a member of your husband’s family, while he will become a member of yours. His sisters will be your family’s aunts, his parents their grandparents. While I firmly agree that if you want a beach wedding in the Virgin Islands, you absolutely have the aptly to do that, maybe there’s a compromise here. After all, marriage is FULL of compromise, so here’s a excellent way to learn. Invite immediate family only, that would mean parents, siblings and spouces of you and the groom. You and your husband will need witnesses anyway, so why not choose members of your family to share this day with you, rather than some complete strangers. As to the unruly family, have your fiancee tell his sisters (he needs to do the telling) that while the family are welcome to join them in the Virgin Islands, they will not be welcome at the wedding ceremony, and whatever you wind up doing for a reception. Most decent hotels will have babysitting services that his sisters can hire for their family, they can doubtless even bundle them up into 1 room and let the cousins play together and split the cost of the sitter between the 2 of them. That way, it’s a win win situation. Hopefully you’ll reckon about this solution, or a touch along these lines, as a way for you to get what you’re wanting, which is a very small, private, non-religious ceremony on the beach, and his family getting what they want, which is to share the day with the 2 of you. Best of luck to you and your fiancee, I hope you can find a solution that you can live with.

I reckon your fiance should let his sisters know that you have chose what you want for a wedding. There is really no reason for them to be at the ceremony itself. That’s the dull part. Sounds like they want to go an a vacation to me. Tell them no that you are going to do what you want for your wedding, they can do what they want for theirs.
If they still give you a hard time, tell them you would be willing to do a renewing of the vows at the celebration just for them. Some places will even do live web cams for you. Excellent luck, and stick to your plot. If you let them change your plans now, be prepared to change your plans your entire marriage.
And the fun starts! Stay with your plans, if this is a touch you two really want to do. Your wedding day is your special day, when you are queen and king of all decisions! So, if you want to get married naked on the snow covered mountains, people should plot on frost bite. I am serious! My daughter just got married in May, and it was their day. The word of the day was always "NO". If they didn’t want a touch, then it wasn’t done. If they did want a touch, we did it. She had our 9 year ancient as her ringbearer, I carried her new puppy that we got her as a wedding bestow down the aisle. We drank ice tea and rootbeer at the reception. And they marched down the aisle together as man and wife to Sweet Home AL. and no, we aren’t completly crazy, it’s what the kids wanted, and we did it, and had a blast!
So, go get married in the Virgin Islands, and come and have a nice huge reception, if the sisters come, they come if they don’t! Oh, well….Tape your wedding cermoney, and have it playing at the reception, as well as lots of pictures scattered around. I reckon it would be lovely. Make the reception, a tropical theme, and have a ball. I tried to pay my daughter to run off, and come home and we do the reception, but she and her now husband wanted all their friends and families there. So, please be aware you are going to hurt some feelings, but it’s ultimately you and your fiance’s only wedding day, so make it your dream come right!
Best wishes…..God bless us all…………
Wow, do I know you? This happened to two friends of mine. Here’s what they did. They did the destination wedding. Hey, it’s your wedding after all, not theirs. But when they came back, their inlaws threw an informal reception for them and were able to have as many people as they wanted.
Tell your hubby to be that he’s got to start getting used to telling his family no. Once you are married, your marriage must be the most vital familial relationship he has. His sisters better get used to taking a back seat.
Quit being selfish…Maybe he wants his family to be there when he gets married….You will have him the rest of your lives . Why not have a small wedding and then no one will be miserable..Sometimes you have to give in …It will help with future in laws
Same situation, Do what is aptly for you!
