United States or United Kingdom?
Well this was settled by my family, literally. I have over sixty members of my immediate family- all of who I talk to on a regular basis. Mr. FMB has nine. USA wins. However we decided to have a second party in the UK after as $1000/ticket for airfare will limit the amount of people coming over. This kept confusing people as now we are having two weddings kind of.
So we decided to rename the "English wedding" with a new word:
Main Entry: wedding
Part of Speech: noun
Definition: marriage rite
Synonyms: bells, bridal, espousal, hook, marriage, marriage ceremony, matrimony, nuptial rite, nuptials,spousal, union, wedlock
- none of these seem to clue in on the awesome party we plan on having in the UK so how about another word:
Main Entry: party
Part of Speech: noun
Definition: social gathering
Synonyms: affair, amusement, at home, ball, banquet, barbecue, bash*, blowout, carousal, carousing,celebration, cocktails, coffee klatch, coming-out,dinner, diversion*, do*, entertainment, feast,festive occasion, festivity, fete, fun, function,gala, get-together, luncheon, movable feast,orgy, prom, reception, riot, shindig*, social,soiree, splurge, spree*, tea
DO! Its the perfect English word for a party. After all Mr. FMB will be having a stag-do and I will be having a hen-do. So the English wedding is in Sheffield (the steel city and home of The Full Monty). So its official we are having a wedding and the Sheff-Do.
However now for round 2 for the US wedding:
Boston, Worcester or Scotia?
Boston- very very very expensive and probably booked up a year before
Worcester- beautiful college chapel but everyone would have to travel to the city
Scotia- childhood church but nowhere for reception without travel
Although it involved travel for everyone- Worcester it was. As long as the dates were open.
How did you decide on where to have the wedding? Did your family weigh in or where you currently live?
