my fiancee is south african and my father lives in perth. my father is meeting my dp 2 days before we tie the knot lol and ill meet his family from south africa about 2 weeks before the wedding.
i have 1 bridesmaid (my sister) and dp has his cousin being best man. thats it! both my mum and dad will give me away and the ceremony and reception are at the same location. we r NOT having anything fancy like ur friend. i think its a bit over the top actually. i dont blaim u actually for not going to alot of her parties, id rather spend the extra money on a house
