Does one (or both!) of you have more cousins than you can count? Who has a bigger family?

You or your fiancé(e)?

    His family is way bigger by blood, but he's not close with his (and I don't talk to my dad so his whole side is out). My friends and their families have become part of my family so technically mine is bigger, but they've adopted him so it's OUR family lol

    Absolutely my FH. We had an engagement party with some of his family. And he didn't even know some of them at all. He has so many cousins it's crazy.

    In our immediate families of origin, mine is slightly bigger (I have 2 siblings, he has 1). But once we expand out from that, I have him beat by a landslide. His mom is one of 2 kids and his dad 1 of 4. My mom is 1 of 2 kids and my dad is 1 of 14! I have at least 50 first cousins (I'm number 27). And some of my cousins are grandparents already. So, yeah, I win that.

    No competition here. It's my FH. Each of his parents have six to seven siblings.

    Definitely his! Our guestlist is comprised of his family totaling 53 (and that's only up to cousins, no second cousins or anything) and mine is at 13 (including second cousins)

    I do! It's not even "oh I have to invite so and so my second cousin twice removed who I saw that one time at this other wedding." My list is 40 people which are all family that I'm close with and actually want there. 15 are cousins vs his 3.

    My parents are split so for siblings I have more but overall his family is much larger than mine.

    Definitely me! I have 3 siblings who have a combined total of 18 kids. My mom also has 9 siblings, so I have about 100 cousins & second cousins and that's only my moms side!! LOL

    We're both the same in family size, but there are some people my FH doesn't associate with due to drama.

    I have no idea.. his parents live in montreal and the rest of his family is still in Chile and they don't really speak to them anymore. at the wedding it will be all my family and just his parents and siblings.

    I have the bigger family technically. I have not siblings, cousins, aunt's/uncles and living grandparents. He only has 1 sibling, 1 cousin, 2 aunt's and 1 uncle and 1 living grandparent. But his family is around more than mine.

    In terms of immediate family - he does. Way more siblings. But in extended family, me. I have 10 aunts and uncles and he has 1. So the guest list is a bit skewed lol.

    We have fairly evenly-sized families (surprising since he's Greek) but his extended family is much closer.

    I’d say both of us have a pretty large family. We’re both 1 of 6

    I'd say that we both have fairly equal sized families, however he is closer to his extended family than I am so we see his great aunts and uncles and second cousins and such more than we see mine and more of his side will be at the wedding than mine because of that.
