so I'm hoping these forums can help. Feeling a tad overwhelmed with wedding planning--I just want to be married, no fuss--but my FI (I read the FAQ and am proud of this) really wants a party. We have a lot of family and friends that have to travel from all over the place, wanted something more laid-back, would be too hard to trim guest list in my hometown or on the mainland, and I love the ocean, beach, sun, etc--so destination wedding seemed to be best option. We are thinking sometime next spring, summer, fall in costa rica, mexico, or caribbean, or the like.
