He wants this, but I want that

Chris and I, not surprisingly, have totally different ideas of how our wedding should be.  He wants a big celebration with lots and lots of people, but I want a very intimate small gathering with only close friends and family members.

As I said in previous posts, we are having 3 gatherings/dinners/ceremonies for our wedding union because our families are from 3 different areas.  Chris' family in Taiwan, my family in another continent, and Chris and I currently live and work in a 3rd city.

Originally, our initial idea was that we would have the formal wedding ceremony in Taiwan and 2 informal gatherings - one for friends and coworkers in our current location and another one for my family back home. 

However, it turns out that things may not be so simple after all.  First of all, we are now flying Chris' parents (and some friends) here to attend our informal gathering in March (our wedding registration with the government registry).  Second of all, we are now hosting a lunch banquet for those who are coming.  And third of all, it will be sort of a mini-vacation for his parents and my dad (who will also fly to here to attend my wedding and see my grandma)....so imagine all the logistics that will be involved to coordinate 12 people for a weekend.

I have always imagined my wedding registration here to be a simple one.  Just me and Chris and 2 additional people as our witnesses for the ceremony.  I have always imagined it to be a very intimate thing for Chris and me.  After all, since the wedding in Taiwan will be the formal official thing, I thought this will be the chance to have something that is just for the 2 of us.

Well, no chance of that happening now.  Between the 2 of us, Chris is indeed the GROOM-ZILLA!!
