I did decide to have something this summer, but I dont want to call it a AHR really. We are literally renting a small bar (a friend owns it) near the water in Boston and having about 100 friends and family for drinks and some food. VERY casual and VERY inexpensive. We are calling it a "party".
Our wedding was just the 2 of us, and when we came home and told friends and family (NO ONE KNEW we were getting married) everyone was SO supportive. Although maybe deep down family and friends were disapointed they couldn't be part of the day, when they saw our pictures and realized how happy we were and that this was the right decision for the 2 of us, they were just SO happy for us! We did fly a photographer down to Mexico with us from Maine and she truly captured the day for us and we have the most beautiful pictures to show family & friends now that we are home.
I PROMISE my review and pictures will be up very soon! So keep your eye out!
