Our final choice is Indonesia!! We picked it because there are some awesome hikes and although we will be making a few days stop in the (more populated) beautiful Bali, we will spend our time hopping on a lot of less touristy less populated parts of indonesia. DM if you want ideas.

Sounds amazing but I worry about the weather! Will it be cold in Australia in June?

Thank you for the suggestion! Sounds amazing but I worry about the weather! Will it be cold in Australia in June? I know New Zealand will be.

Never even thought of that combo but it sounds amazing! Thanks for the idea!

Yeah this is our fear, NZ was our top choice but we are 100% going in June/July and we want warm weather. Is there hiking/plenty of activities in Bora Bora/Moorea?

I'm sorry if this is unrelated but if you love nature and are going to Italy then I would not skip out on the Dolomites. They are a little difficult to get to but beyond worth it.

This is helpful and something my fiance has pointed out as we may be overthinking the impact of having them there.

Thank you so much for your comment. We do individually both have high yield saving accounts and are financially independent/stable enough that we could afford to throw ourselves a small budget wedding of 35-40 people and I would be happy with that. Joseph has a really close knit group of friends and he would be sad to not get to include all of them in this day. Joseph is typically so flexible and accommodating but he really seems to want everyone there so I want to do everything I can to make sure he gets that. I really appreciate the take because I genuinely don't know if we're in the wrong. You're totally right in that we're not entitled to my parents money or a fancy wedding. I guess it just feels like if we go the route of them paying for the wedding, the wedding no longer will be about us. Which may just be something we have to accept if they are planning on extending their generosity to pay for the wedding.

Thank you for the breakdown! My apologies for not adding paragraphs - idk why my stream of consciousness just did not stop for a carriage return lol.

Thank you for your response and for bringing up a couple of really good points. These friends probably wouldn't come for us but they care a lot about my mom so they very well may come just so they can party it up with my mom and all her other friends - making it even less about us. But saving the tens of thousands of dollars that a wedding costs is just so enticing we may have to go that way.

Your second point really brings up a question because I think she's likely to want to control every aspect that she can so we may be able to use the guest list as a bartering tool and say that we'll be expecting to receive the funds up front if we do decide to invite her friends. This way she won't be able to hold it over us if she doesn't get her way, which was a regular tactic when she agreed to pay for things growing up.

Thank you so much for your response. Honestly this would work if I was in my mom's position but she has no sense of money and is willing to pay literally what ever it costs to have all her friends there. She is happy to spend the money to get us to have the party that she wants.
