Sharon99, I feel your pain! I had my best friend of 17 years tell me that we shouldn't wait until next year just because it will give guests more time to save money and that everyone goes on vacation, so we set a date of Nov 17th this year. Now she is telling me she can't go because it is too soon for her to save the money! As disappointed as I am, in the end you are right and I only need one person there!
