Dilemma #23
My fiancé wants a small wedding, but I've always dreamed of a big celebration. How do we compromise?.
The Story #23
This is about finding the middle ground. Start by understanding WHY each of you feels the way you do. Is it about finances? Social anxiety? Family expectations? Once you understand the "why," you can find creative solutions. Maybe you have a small ceremony with a larger reception, or a big wedding with an intimate elopement-style ceremony
