Where do we start, me and my fiance have till 2017 July to plan our wedding.

first time post :)

so, me (21f) and my partner(33m) moved to NSW to be with his family, specifically away from mine, as they didn't agree with our union to be and our relationship. and we have been over here just over a year. when we were living in WA we have planned to get married in 2016 September, and had a deposit but my family turned into a pack of wolves.
so here we are, and we are after just some info we can use to help start our plan for July 2017.

we want a small wedding of 30-40. in the forest somewhere, or natural setting. is it okay to have sushi as the wedding catering? is that weird to have our favorite sushi food platter? if my family doesn't agree with our love and continues to send abusive messages, and my mum playing ignorance is bliss to my siblings abuse to us, should i still invite them, even playing the risk that they might start something at my wedding?

so, whats my base goals to ensure a proactive planning of a celebration of our love?

(sorry, my day off work, and i had a smoke so it be a bit backwards) xx

based on whats provided 1. i would not invite anyone who is harassing me and clearly does not approve 2. i would not serve sushi even though its my fave bc you need to have it at proper temperature for a while and some people might not like sushi at all. if you do want it maybe do an option sushi or chicken?

Totally depends where in NSW you are RE: forest venue. Look into national parks, they're everywhere and by default they are gorgeous, and often have picnic grounds you can reserve with local councils/NSW National Parks and Wildlife Service.

Regarding the sushi, it's your wedding, eat what you want, just offer variety. That said, if you'd doing it in a forest without actual refrigeration (Eskys DO NOT COUNT in this instance, haha), maybe give it a miss to avoid, well.. you know... Maybe a picnic selection would be a better idea if it's in the country?

Lastly, your family don't have to be your friends, and if they're being tools about your relationship for no good reason, don't invite them. My friend invited her estranged mother to her wedding at the last minute, and the mother got up and made a really awful and passive aggressive speech without being invited to speak, so I'd avoid inviting them if you want to skip that kind of experience.
