Who to invite?

Re: Who to invite?

I like small weddings with just the immediate families and very close friends, not second, third, or ninth cousins - I know this isn't really possible in desi families. I would rather pay to feed my immediate family and sponsor some dinners at a shelter than have to put up with all the noise and fuss of 500 of my "closest" relatives.

Why invite people to your wedding who don't even really like you, or would rather talk about you?
