Yeah I agree with you Cassie, I am having a DW because I want the location and less people to invite! I love planning things though, and I think it's a lot of fun!
The reason we chose 2011 is for a few reasons, one financial it gives us plenty of time to save up for everything since we are paying for it ourselves, 2 because I'm getting my master's and my program doesn't really allow for breaks so by the time our wedding rolls around I will have graduated and gotten my license to practice, 3 my best friend is having a DW in Thailand, so there goes FI's 2 week vacation in 2010.
