Pat--I didn't think about how somewhat sad it would be to have your BIG DAY and no one be there to watch it. If it's a second marriage, it's one thing, but for the first big go-round, you should have at least a moderate number of people. To me, personally, I think it's quite an imposition to expect a lot of people to be able to travel out of the country for the wedding, in terms of money, vacation time, possibly having to get a passport, etc. Now, if it is only a very small wedding party, that's different, but again, as you said, it would seem kind of sad to have only a couple of people there, to ME personally.
