Finally.
Mr. We'll Figure it Out has came back down to earth.
Its decided. We are planning to get married on a Friday night, at city hall...then have a small dinner with our closest people...and the following day (Saturday) throw a party for the rest of our friends at our house.
I feel like a tremendous weight has been lifted.
The decision was made this weekend. We had a long (all day on and off) discussion about our short-term and long-term goals.
Short-term: We want to go on a cruise with our friends.
Long-term: We want to buy a vacation home in the NC mountains.
These goals are more important to us then having a traditional wedding. Even if we could do something for $5-10K...that's money taken away from our goals.
Just typing this, I feel so much better. I just think this fits us better.
And I know we made the right decision, because since booking the cruise, we are so excited. Its all we can talk about. We NEVER got this excited over wedding stuff.

That was one of the ideas we were tossing around, but when we looked at the cost it basically came out to not much less $ after we looked at rental costs for extra things we'd need at home(chairs,serving dishes,plates,glasses,etc.) and of course little renos that the house would need before hosting that many people.
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad it works for you because I would have loved to do the same thing!

Good for you! We thought about doing a quickie ceremony in Vegas then back to LA for a big party but our MOH & BM are both from out of town & we didn't feel we could ask them to travel to Vegas & then travel back to LA with us. They are definitely a priority for us. So, we are still looking at venues.
