    Not getting married yet but thinking of proposing fairly soon.

    Something that's been on my mind is the wedding and the guests to ask. My gf's family is small, very small. She has just 1 brother and no first cousins. Mother is an only child and has 2 first cousins. Basically if you were to add up all the relatives and thier partners it would come to 10 people. Gf has no real close friends due to alot of moving around when they were younger, about 5 people that she could ask.

    From my side I've a large family and we are quite close plus I've a lot of very good friends who's weddings I've attended and have been groomsman at some. I would like to have these people at my wedding but that would mean inviting at a very minimum 50 people which leaves the guest list very 1 sided. Also another thing is groomsmen, I've 2 very close friends I've known all my life and would like them to be groomsmen along with my brother. Only thing is there is no one even suitable for a bridemaid on my gf side. Our wedding would be abroad so that would probably cut down on some of the guests but not that many.

    Anyone been in a simiar situation?

    Our situation was slightly different (was ill around the time of my wedding) but the list would have been lobsided with my husband having far more guests. We ended up trimming on both sides and had a really tiny, intimate wedding that everyone loved. Having said that, in 5 years when we renew our vows we plan a massive celebration.
