Oh, and weddings, Here's an idea for you..

I got married in late October, 2007. We decided, we wanted a small wedding, so despite the cries of most of my friends and extended family..

We went to Hawaii and got married on Maui at the most beautiful location. In front of a restaurant called Mama's Fish House, on a Lagoon.

We only invited immediate family. Brothers, sisters, their spouses, parents. 13 of us in total. It was fantastic. So glad we didn't do the big wedding, with the brides maid and grooms party and pictures and band and blah, blah, blah..

It was a small, romantic wedding. And instead of spending all the money on all the B.S., I spent the money paying for everyones trip. Airfare, hotels, meals, etc. No one had to spend any money to get to or stay in Hawaii. And we even had these fantastic cottages, right on the beach, where we got married.

Everyone wore Khaki's, sandal's, white or Hawaiin shirts.
- For the rehearsal dinner, we went to an exquisite luau...

The whole thing was fantastic... And yes, we did take some heat for not having friends, cousins, aunts and uncle's, etc. But we got married the way we wanted to. Simple, beautiful, romantic.

Just a thought.
