Me and my H2B are getting married in Kos June 2013 due to problems with guests and flights there are just the two of us going and we are having a large reception when we get back with family. My only issue is my H2Bs parents are divorced and cannot be together in the same venue for the reception (i'm not 100% sure why i'm just respecting my in laws wishes) does anybody have any idea what we could do to, without having 2 or 3 seperate receptions and without making somebody feel left out, because i really want to celebrate when we get back & have a first dance etc! It's now 6 months to go & i'm getting a bit stressed with everything being booked up around us.
Thankyou!!

OOh, lovely! Kos is beautiful. My H2B lives across the water, so we get a view of the island but I've only visited once so far. It's a lovely site for a wedding :)
As for the in-laws, I know you want to respect their wishes, but can't they respect yours just for a few hours? After all, it is your day... It sounds like you could either invite them to different bits, or try to sit them as far apart as possible? There will only be ONE first dance, so they'll have to just not kill each other...

Sorry but I agree with poppy its not even a full day and as its only a few hours I would tell them both they will just have to sit in the same room for the night. They should be able to do just this one thing if they love their son.
CommentAuthorMrs-Mouse-2-be
By the way I've the same problem but its h2b's father and brother. They will both be invited and if they don't show up for whatever reason we won't be changing our plans to accommodate either of them. Suck it up for one day or don't come that's what I say.

Thankyou i'm going to talk to the hubs tonight and see if we can sit down with the seperately and just basically say it like it is. Exactly I'll-be-36 they can then decide if they want to turn up and see their son or not :)!
I'm doing the same thing as you only I'm getting married in England and our reception is in Ireland. Having 2 wedding days is great isn't it! Well yeah like Poppy said they could split the night up, one come early and leave halfway through and the other come in just after the first one leaves that isn't a bad idea but for me I would just say it starts at x time and both of you are welcome to attend and there won't be any other arrangements made by us. Its sad isn't it when 2 people can't forget about themselves for just one night and concentrate on their son. Pathetic really but that's families for ya.

We're doing this too :)
Getting married in Canada on 4th May (H2b is Canadian and we plan to live there) but then having out 'wedding' which will also include a blessing in the UK on the 30th.
I was wondering what you guys have thought for wording on your invites (for reception) do you still put 'celebrate our wedding'?
CommentAuthorGillianE
so are we, getting married in either the caribbean or hawaii and reception back in the uk. we just have not decided where yet. 2 wedding days will be fun, I would just plan your day to the way you want it, surely they can put up with each other for a couple of hours to help you celebrate your special day without their differences getting in the way.
