Well at least you and your mom worked it out I was going to say accept the 1000 dollars and if you find something that is more than that, just pay the difference.. like others already said
I'm going to have a similar issue.. maybe 20 to 30 people are coming but there aren't really clubs on Maui (I dont' think) so I'm stuck as to what to do after the reception dinner too.. sigh. Sorry I wasn't any help but I'm looking forward to seeing responses
Hi Edna.. sorry to hear about your grandma.. mine also died this past july so I'm sad she won't be at my wedding either.. but they will be with us in spirit for sure!
