Pleasing yourself really is key - today at lunch a friend said "this is where we were when you told me it was okay to get the bridesmaids' dresses I wanted." (She was going to be nice and go with her sister's choice even though she didn't really like it and didn't think it would photograph well.)
It seemed so minor to me at the time, but it wasn't until Mama Scooterbug and I repeatedly told her that it was HER wedding and to get what SHE really wanted (not her sister) that she felt she could say no. And she is not a timid person - she used to make me get up early on Saturday mornings in college and run 5k races w/ her.

I ordered invites from No Regrets for my mom's 70th birthday party- they were beautiful, reasonably priced, and best of all- the process was easy! No Regrets is wonderful!
I hear ya. Thankfully, between there being a nice bed-and-breakfast here, plus some friends putting our guests up, I think we'll be okay. Atlanta would cost a lot more money for venues and catering unless we used Doc Chey's, their favorite restaurant.I, too, am from "South of the ATL" and opted to have my wedding in Atlanta. The problem was hotels. And the fact some of our guest were coming from Spain. I would have loved to introduce them all to my cute little town of Griffin. But, I just couldn't imagine them having to stay in a Best Western.
Thanks for the info.
Hey, tchuck, scooterbug was talking about "doing what you want." A couple here just loves a local hot dog joint (it's been in Southern Living) that features boiled hot dogs, bag chips, and Coke. The families could have afforded virtually whatever the couple wanted, but the couple chose to have their rehearsal dinner there. What a hoot!
One way to address the wedding/reception locale struggle is to have a party/reception in addition to the wedding reception. It allows you to cull the actual wedding reception's guest list because you can invite business associates, coworkers, neighbors etc. to those parties and keep the wedding to just the good friends/relatives of the bride/groom.
When my parents got married (they were from different states, met in college, and then lived in another state) they had a reception/party in Dad's hometown, Mom's hometown, and the wedding in their new hometown.
As far as doing what you want, one friend decided her wedding was actually going to have good food and a tasty dessert. Not only was it the only wedding I have gone to where the food was all good, they served the best tiramisu ever (and to back up their claim I have personally tested over 150 recipes on 2 continents) instead of an overpriced and blah wedding cake.

I used a great planner for my wedding. Christina at Fete events. She was amazing and made the day perfect!
Call It's a Shore Thing Wedding Planners or visit their website. They're awesome. You also CANNOT go wrong with Townsend Catering. Best Wishes 
i had a customer in the store today working on a wedding expo for February. I'll get the info and post or have her post the details.
I have had Townsend Catering MANY times and HIGHLY recommend them. They supplied some of the food for a party I had last year as well. Over the holidays was at a party that they catered & as usual it was wonderful!
They also have connections with wedding planners - It's a Shore Thing being one of them. (May be It's a Sure thing - not positive which one...).
