OK, so my FI and I are not exactly going on a honeymoon right after our wedding.  As a matter of fact, we will not be going anywhere after our wedding day except to the tranquility of our new house. Unfortunately my parents have other ideas. 

Since my parents are inviting many of our relatives from outside NYC to come to our wedding, they have asked me/more told me that they will arrange for a few members of the “family” to stay with us for the duration of their stay.  I hate to sound bridezillaish, but I flipped out. My FI and I were looking forward to some peace and quiet after the wedding, but now the idea of having to entertain houseguests is leaving a sour taste in both our mouths. 

To be fair, we both intended to take the week off because we both had family in town and wanted to spend time with both sides since they would have traveled from so far.  But our idea of spending time meant having lunch/dinner, not spending 24 hours chauffering them around. 

My FI is adamantly against the idea, but being the great husband to be that he is, he also said, if it would make my life easier to appease my parents he would go along with whatever I decided.  So the ball is in my court.  What should I do?  Stand my ground and keep my sanity or appease my parents and be miserable?  I should also add that chances are many of these relatives will arrive during the last few crucial and hectic days before my wedding, and I will not have the time of day to stay home with them.  As a matter of fact, my FI and I will be staying at the hotel by our venue the night before, so with possible relatives staying over I will have to hand over my keys or change my plans.  Please help me before I cry!
