Aside from you stepping in that's been my approach,
I've said I'm here to help for whatever you want help with, as is your bridesmaids and your & my family.
It's your first time planning a wedding, it's okay to be overwhelmed, that doesn't mean it can't be figured out.
At the end of the day this is her wedding for the rest of our lives. Everything else doesn't matter. She's overwhelmed by the fact that she won't be able to appease everyone; who cares??
This is literally the first conflict we've had, I didn't see it coming bc we talk about everything, I've given her all the advice posted but I didn't propose to be engaged either, I don't want to phrase it like that but I want her to be happy and any wedding with the two of us saying "I do" will make us happy for the rest of our lives. Why put that future off over semantics?

And your approach isn’t working. Time to let me help.

If you want all your elderly relatives there you are gonna have to ditch the destination wedding idea. Many of them may not 1) have the budget to travel and 2) physically can’t handle traveling so far due to medical conditions, etc.
You either want lots of family there or you want the destination wedding. Unless y’all are rolling in cash you won’t be having both…especially if y’all want Hawaii.

Also, y'all need to quickly separate these 2 concepts.
The wedding is one day. Your marriage is the rest of your lives. But if she (or you) can't separate the expectations for those 2 things, then it probably won't be for the rest of your lives...
