How do you feel about a Friday wedding? From our perspective since most people will be driving 3+ hours anyway then they can take a Friday off and then enjoy the Saturday/Sunday in the mountains.

No. People get a limited number of vacation days per year. It's selfish for you to ask them to use one so they can attend your wedding (obviously this may not apply to any out-of-town guests you're inviting).

How do you feel about a long weekend wedding? The only Saturday date available at our top 3 locations is durring a long weekend. On the face of it I am 100% against long weekend weddings as I feel that I dont want to intrude on someones freebee vacation day.

That's fine. [Edit] Although it is interesting you don't want to waste someone's stat holiday but you're considering making them use a regular vacation day...

Guest list questions:
For myself I have a relatively small family by most respects but the numbers when you count aunts, uncles, cousins, their kids, etc etc etc start to add up quick and I am having a difficult time trying to explain to my parents who I respect and realize there is a protocol to these things vis a vi relatives.

This will obviously vary from family to family. When I was married, my wife and I decided we wanted a small, intimate wedding, so we limited the guest list to this: parents, siblings, grandparents, aunts & uncles, and a few close friends each. No cousins, no kids. Everyone was cool with it, and we never received any flak for not inviting someone. YMMV.
