Feeling like a deflated balloon!

Beginning to realise that having family and friends from all parts of the globe is not wedding friendly (i know i should have realised this earlier but i was too excited and busy making grand plans!). Spoke with mum earlier this week and it looks like my guest list is looking a little lonely... My parents and brother (of course) and a few friends in the UK. The family friends that i wanted to come from Australia are now more than likely not going to be able to afford to come :( and of course most of my friends live in Australia and likewise wouldn't be able to come... double :(  Equally it is unreasonable to ask Matt's family and friends to come to Australia, and no, finding a halfway point would still be expensive and not feasible... I need to find a way to blow up this balloon again as at the moment i'm not feeling like having a wedding at all... It is of course Matt's fault, he should have come from Australia!!

  1. Awwww Alice! I have no idea what your budget is, but is there any chance you could organise your family and friends in Australia to dress up and gather in one place, and enjoy your ceremony via webcam/skype/something similar? If you get married and have the reception in the same place then the people watching from overseas can have a drink in your honour and hang around to watch you cut the cake if you feel like it, and you still get to send them invites and perhaps organise where you'd like them to congregate and celebrate with you, albeit from a distance... or maybe I'm just full of it.
