“We live in a town with a rather infamous maximum security prison. On the prison grounds near the warden’s house there is a hall/facility that you can rent out. FMIL is insistent on having our reception there. IT’S ON PRISON GROUNDS. I have already reiterated the fact that I am NOT comfortable with our reception there. On top of that, 85% of our guest list is coming for at least 45 min away and is planning on staying in a hotel. In this town, there is only one motel where the inmates families come for visiting weekend - so they would be there, too. Additionally, the nearest hotels are 15 minutes away and we don’t have public transportation. She doesn’t see the problem in this. Eek.”
