No matter what you see or have seen in the engagements, wedding plans, and marriages around you, past or present, your wedding and your marriage are going to be what you and B make of them together. Communicate and collaborate together, and it will be what you want.

Also, remember that the engaged couple are traditionally allowed to call on friends and family to aid them in planning their nuptuals. Once you and B know what you want, call in the troops to help make it happen : ).

That about covers it. I want a tiny little wedding in a bed and breakfast and he feel that it is important to invite his entire extended family. I don't doubt we can work it out it will just require some time and of course, I just want it to be all decided.

Ah, I now see. I had friends in the same situation and they handeled it by having the guy do all of the planning. He did a fabulous job, including finding bridesmaids dresses that worked for both a heavy woman and a really skinny woman would was going to be 7 months pregnant at the wedding. The other thing is maybe a small private ceremoney with a nice formal lunch followed by an out of control, invite everyone, informal party.
