[quote=Anonymous]You have two wedding receptions IF YOU CAN AFFORD IT. 
Food preference is the major thing that will divide the two groups. One group might prefer BBQ and and a beer would be fine and the other is probably Chinese dishes only. And only the closest family members will be invited to both because you still need to merge as a family. State you don't require presents both times just because they attend both-plus, your side will most likely give $.

I totally get you. I'm Chinese married to a white guy.

If you do just one wedding, people will do their best to be there (or they just have to give face to your parents). How do you choose the location? Simply by which of the elderly parents can drive/fly further? 
You will need a combination of food. Kinda like a buffet style. And it can't be a Chinese restaurant unless the restaurant can do fusion dishes that would accommodate to the non-Chinese palate. Do what's right for you both, not what's prefer by the elderly. It's ok to keep some traditions but don't abandon all of it. 
You can still do the bride pick up part and the Chinese morning session one, and invite close friends/relatives to the Chinese part. In the evening, everyone come together. 
And you can still have a combination of music. 
If you ask me, that's exhausting to from morning to midnight.
