The major difference is that both parentals are adamant about food.

Chinese side has a lot of cultural dishes, and a very different serving style. The PP who has attended a chinese wedding reception probably understands what I mean. There's usually 12 dishes over 4-5 courses, and the festivities are very different. The ILs are also expected to gift jewelry of gold and/or diamonds to the bride. I do NOT want to ask or even bring this up with my future ILs.

Caucasian side has a lot of traditional polish food the ILs would like to see represented and serve, and adamant about plating everything.

To the PP who asked how our marriage and raising kids would work out? Well for starters my BF and I are in agreement about everything when it comes to having a family. We will honor both sides of our roots and the future kids will know about the Polish and Chinese traditions that are important to us. Both sets of parentals are on board with the marriage and wedding and has no reservations.

We cannot afford to pay for hotel rooms for the guests from out of town. It's just no in the budget. Discounted rate for a hotel would be possible if we have a hotel reception. We have discussed the idea of venues other than hotel though such as a winery or a old mansion that can cater food and host the reception. We have also considered locations closer to a midway point for the 2 families, but honestly the mid point is in the middle of Bumblefuckistan so it's not going to happen. [/quote]
