Most of my fiance's family is from SD, and most of mine is in NE. We recently moved to Seattle, and he wants to have the wedding/reception out here. I agree that there are beautiful sites here, but everything is so much more expensive! Also we're planning for April, and would likely have to have an indoor wedding--so the beautiful scenery wouldn't matter as much anyway.
I want to get married in Omaha, primarily for cost. Though I haven't asked for my friends' input, they are telling me they'd rather go back to our hometown too. Each of our parents is contributing a small amount financially, and each side insists "whatever you two want!" but we can't agree. My friends say the bride gets to choose, but my fiance is making a lot more money than me and will be paying for most of the wedding so I feel like I don't have as much of a say in planning (though I'm doing all the actual planning).
Help?

Traditionally the wedding is held in the bride's hometown. Your families are okay with whatever you decide so it's time to let the groom know how much it would mean to you to have your wedding in your hometown. Nancy Tucker President of Weddings Beautiful US http://www.weddingsbeautiful.com

Dear Karlatronic,
These days the couple chooses and it shouldn't be decided by the person who makes the most money. It must be a united decision.
Perhaps it could be held closer to where you are living now, but not in the city. There are less expensive places just outside of Seattle. And, please don't forget venues the city rents out to the public. There are great opportunities there.
who chooses wedding location?
