Big or Small?

I want a small wedding. It could be because I'm a little socially awkward. It could be because I'm frugal. When I think of my wedding, I think of my close friends and family surrounding an intimate and quiet ceremony. I imagine a kind of garden reception with white lights and fireflies.

Mr. Sunflower, on the other hand, wants a big wedding. He has a very large Indian family where cousins are considered siblings and parents' friends are all aunts and uncles. Not to mention he went to a private school and has had the same fairly close-knit group of friends since he was six.

So, now that we're engaged our first decision is our guest list. Big or small. There are pros and cons for both. We're compromising for medium and hoping that our parents don't push us into unmanageable. Here's hoping for 250.
