Is a dinner reception best?

woman; white woman; questioning

Dear Polite One,

We are an older couple, both previously married.  My fiancĂ© doesn't feel that people our age should have a big formal reception and wants to go on a cruise after a simple ceremony/cocktail party.  I feel that since most of our guests will be traveling, they deserve a meal.  What is most proper?

Thanks, Polite One!!

Dear Hosting,

Encore weddings are common, and you can have it your way.   But you are correct that if your guests are traveling to be with you for your wedding, it is best of offer them a full meal.  

Sincerely,

The Polite One
