I don't know anyone to invite to my wedding

Go to Las Vegas and Invite as many people as you can, including all of your relatives and their significant others. This way if no one goes your excuse is that they couldn't travel and most of his friends won't show up either.

You can also have a weding out of town, like on a beach resort. Same situation.

I just had 2 guests at my wedding, my wife had 88!

I remember being at a friends wedding a few years ago. We were gathered around a big lawn for photographs. The photographer called out "Bride, groom and the bride's friends, please!" and about 40 people went up. Then after alot of shuffling about: "Now the bride and groom and the groom's freinds please!". 4 of us went up! It looked so sad.

Me and my husband were married in Gatlinburg, TN by a justice of the peace inside of the national park. People in attendance: my mother, my 16 year old daughter that I had when I was 18, my 1 year old daughter that I had with my husband before we decided to get married and my husbands parents. We had wanted to elope, but our families wanted to be there. After our honeymoon in TN, we had a small reception. This took place at my mothers house. I had three friends in attendance and my husband had one. There was also one "pair" of friends that we both shared. My mother, two brothers and one aunt and one uncle were there as well as my husbands mom, dad and two cousins. We really stretched our minds to make this list!

I guess I understand what you are all talking about.

then dont, you are marrying him, not them. Dont just pull starangers to your wedding to pass off as your "crew" thats really bizzar

I'm married to a woman from a large, close-knit family who is intelligent, friendly, tends to make friends with other interesting and intelligent people, and is an NT. I, on the other hand, am not diagnosed with AS, but am strongly characterized by a number of its traits, most notably the social awkwardness. In addition, my family has always been small. Before we got married a few years ago, we joked with each other about how lopsided the wedding chapel would be, with 100 friends and family on her side, and about 6 on mine. Despite the joking, I felt a degree of humiliation that I did not feel confident enough in my relationships to ask anyone to be in my wedding party to stand with me, aside from my brother and father.

Our solution to this was to take a trip to Las Vegas and get married. It was expensive, but less so than a stage wedding and guest reception would have been. We ended up staying in a nice hotel, eating some of the best food we'd ever had, and taking in some amazing shows. Best of all, we were able to get married without the pressure of friends, families, and their expectations. I think the most important part of marriage is its capacity to affirm our bonds with the people we love, and the rest of the expectations of a wedding are largely optional. My wife was worried her family would be upset that we did not make a large production of the wedding, but at the end of the day, we enjoyed ourselves, remember our wedding fondly, and her family got over it. Good luck in your life with a man who appears dedicated to sharing it with you, AS or no AS.
