My fiance and I are from two different areas. I am based in D.C. and he is based in Detroit,MI. His pastor has mentored to him and been like his second day to him, since he was 14 years old. He wants him to marry him, I have no problem with that, but I do not want to get married in Detroit eventhough majority of my family is in Detroit,MI and his is in North Carolina. We have friends all over the place from Detroit, Virginia, North Carolina, and Chicago. Do you have any advice how we can come to a common agreement? We keep going back and forth on this.

Return to your dream scenario and review the elements of geographic location, kind of ceremony, and actual setting, reminding yourself of their relative importance in terms of your comfort zone. It is much more common now for a couple to hold their ceremony where they live, especially if neither has strong ties to their parents current places of residence and if they're paying their own expenses. If the majority of those you want to attend live where you live, having a local wedding can also mean that more of them will be able to come. If you decided on the wedding to be in DC some traveling of course will take place with some guest you could even fly the minister in for your fiance.
No matter where you have it folks are going to have to travel. Getting married where you live is always easiest. Go with what's comfortable.
Living my life like it's GOLDEN!!
Fly his minister in and have him perform the ceremony where you please. It is the best compromise and niquey is right. There will be travelling anyway!

I was going to say the same thing as Rosey - Fly in the Minsiter, that is the easiest thing to do.
Charlotte wishes you all a beautiful Christmas filled with loads of love, laughter and the true meaning of this blessed season.
Trini, I think you should get married close to where YOU live. When you get married, where will you live? With all of the running around that you will do, it's easiest to do it close to home.
I agree. It would be easier to get married where YOU live. You can always fly your minister in, and as the other ladies have stated travel will be involved one way or the other. I wish you and your FH the best. Please keep us posted.
Delight yourself in The Lord & He will give you the desires of your heart!Ps 37
