My fiance and I were planning on having a wedding in hawaii, however, my parents have now stated that they will be unable to attend because they will not be able to afford it. My fiance still wants it in hawaii ( and definetly does not want it in our home area). I ultimatly had my heart set on hawaii but want my parents to be there and dont want to be inconsiderate. I would be passively fine having it in my home area jujst to make everyone happy, the only problem is my husband to be wont be happy with this choice, any suggestions for on how to make everyone happy?

Have you discussed your feelings with the groom? Does he understand how important it is for you to have your parents witness your wedding and how important it is for them? If he's adamant about the location, perhaps you can offer to pay for all or part of their trip. It would be a shame to have a destination wedding where you would be feeling a part of you was missing. This is not just about the bride and groom. Weddings are a family event. Otherwise, you would not be inviting any guests. Be sure to consider everyone's feelings.

Agreed. And, if he still wants to host this in Hawaii, then perhaps you could host a reception back home so your parents can attend. Rebecca Black, Etiquette Now
