I totally agree with you on this one. Your wedding is something you only do once in your life, and will be a lifelong memory. If you both can afford to do it they way you both would like, I would say do it...you'll have no regrets then. For me if people are willing to spend the money to come all the way to Mexico, I am willing to pay for a great reception! Good luck, whatever you guys decide to do will be great. When is your wedding?
