We are getting married!

[ASammy1]

Have you made any plans? Big ceremony or something smaller?

I highly recommend eloping. DH and I eloped, and in August, we will mark our 21st anniversay.

We are doing something small-the families would kill us if we eloped, although it's very tempting.

Together our families total about 40 people so what we are planning to do is rent 2 big houses on the beach; 1 for his family and 1 for mine. My family is in Michigan and his family is in Indiana/Illinois. We are going to get married early in the week at a cute little chapel and have a reception at one of the houses. Then have Thanksgiving all together at the other house. This way, the families can make vacations out of our wedding plans and we can all spend Thanksgiving together too!
