Dear wonderful ladies of Hitched
I am have such trouble finding a location to host my wedding reception due to differences of opinion between me and my OH. My mother is paying for everything and so what she thinks is important to me too.
I would like all of the feeling of a grand affair on a smaller scale for the simple reasons that we dont have many people to invite and we dont have the money for anything too grand. But my OH is only really getting married for me and he doesn't agree with spending much money on a reception. All the while my mother wants a grand occasion because she never got to do it herself.
My mother and I have found a lovely (expensive for our budget) venue but my OH won't even go and see it because it costs too much. He says that if I want his opinion then I have to accept that he doesn't want us to spend too much money on this.
I want to keep peace between my own feelings, my mothers feelings and my OH's feelings. How do I find a happy medium?
Thanks
