But it'll be just for us! It's OUR day...and since you can't force adults to do what you want them to do (i.e.sit down, play nice, not cause any undue stress and not complain) Our entire budget is being spent on the things that I want. So since we don't have to worry about feeding guests, or buying gifts for our bridal party. I can spend more on a bigger photo pkg, take some excursions, etc. This is literally my exact story except I'll be doing it for my 10th anniversary next year. I don't want the stress of paying for a lot of people and all that, I just want to go on a nice vacation and renew my vows while I'm there. So that's exactly what I'll be doing. And since it's just us, we'll make it extra nice and come back with some beautiful pictures for everyone to see.
