Where are my pants?
Seriously---destination weddings are the way to go. If I had it to do over again, that would definitely be my choice.
So many couples spend a fortune throwing a party for everyone else, and forget that a wedding is supposed to be for them. Take a step back and really evaluate the pros and cons of throwing a huge ceremony and reception. It's different for every couple and family situation, but if you're anything like me you might be surprised just how much money you stand to throw down the drain.
Good luck!

What area are you looking for? NoVA, DC, somd (if so what county?). There are tons of places to get married outdoors, but if you want a set in stone backup plan for bad weather, it narrows down your options...you'll either have to pick a place with optional indoor space, or pay to reserve space that you may not use.FireLadie said:

Hold on now...
The question was WEDDING.
I say go to Jamaica mon.
THEN, a month or three later have a big ass party once you're settled into your new digs and have a ZERO stress reception party. The traditional wedding then reception is just simply too much for the bride and groom to really enjoy.
Doing a reception later, you're both relaxed, it's pretty much a cook out, you're in you jeans not nice, stuffy clothes after a draining day.
Three thumbs up.

I just went to a wedding this weekend in Baltimore, and they had it outside at the bride's grandmother's house. It was by far the most beautiful ceremony I had ever been to -- do you have any friends or relatives with enough yardspace to hold a wedding? Even if it rains, you can always rent a tent.
Sooooo f'n cute!

Forget Jamaica! Go to VEGAS!!! We did this and got a GREAT package on a limo that took us an hour outside vegas to Valley of Fire (national park- beautiful). It was just us, then we partied the whole weekend in vegas- god that was SO FUN! (now as long as our parents never find out!!!FireLadie said:
