Q. My fiancé and I live on the West Coast, as does my entire family. However, his relatives live on the East Coast. We both want to marry near our families and can't agree on the location. What should we do?
A. Unfortunately, there's no easy solution. I do understand your fiancé wanting to have his members in attendance and undoubtedly, traveling across country would be difficult for many of them. However, weddings are traditionally held in the bride's hometown, and since you — and most of your relatives — live on the West Coast, this would seem to be the logical choice. Also, if your parents are helping to pay for part of the wedding, you need to take that into consideration.
