awesome. I would have gone...
Thanks again for all the tips/experience... it's great hearing so many different approaches. Mal, the destination wedding thing could be interesting, I'll check it out.
Did I mention that his folks are most likely throwing a HUGE reception in Lebanon (I mean, we're talking hundreds of people) when we visit in January or so? Yeah... so we'll get a big fancy reception, just not a local one.
Which is fine with me.

Owl, you have the greatest ideas... this is exactly what I had in mind. And yes, I can imagine the park setting, too.
I am still in gaping disbelief
at some of the price tags you folks are quoting (those in the $20k range), even though I have been a bridesmaid four times and I know how lavish weddings can be. (That's precisely why I *don't* want a fancy one, given my prior experience.)
Cyn, give me more details... your wedding sounds like exactly something we could do. I wonder if the Argosy in Seattle is available for similar costs.
