Dear Dee:
I would like some insight on my upcoming wedding. My fiancé and I would like to get married in Costa Rica this coming September. We would like our immediate family and closest friends to attend but a lot of them cannot attend due to the short notice. Should we move our wedding date so more people can attend, or should we stick with our original date?
Please help!
Dear Bride to Be:
You want a Costa Rica wedding now but the family will push it to a later date. In your email, you said it was a short notice for the family to join your destination wedding. It seems like some express the want to join you and your fiancé on the trip. That is awesome. I can only imagine you provided them with the booking info to join you. At this point, you have to figure out what is important for you and your fiancé. Is this September date important to you? Is this your first wedding? This is some questions that will play a part in deciding to go ahead or postpone your wedding. Check to see if it is possible to move your wedding to another date. Understand, a destination weddings will leave or have someone feeling left out. You cannot please everyone.

An alternative is to have your destination wedding and the reception at home. At that time join a symbolic exchange of your love in front of the family.
Share your love with your fiancé the way you envision it. It is about the love that you share and the life you are continuing with each other.
Congrats and Best of Luck on your Costa Rica Wedding
Dee
