re: Weddings are out of control

My wife and I got married on her dad's farm.

That sounds like a great wedding.

Since ours was a destination, we told our friends and family two years before the date. We told them all we understood if they could not financially make it. Also, no gifts, if they could come or not.

We had about twenty people and they loved it. We were there two weeks while most people were only there one week. Since the group was pretty large and the place was relatively unknown, we were able to get a good group rate and were pretty much the only people there.

The only shitty part for us was that following the wedding, we immediately moved to Australia. When we came back to the states, the hassle with the wedding certificate was such that we went to the courthouse to get re-married since it was easier.

The downside, I have two wedding anniversaries to remember.
