I agree with Carlota.....given that they are of age to have significant others, and that you are giving plenty of notice, they should be incurring the cost of the trip themselves....or at the very least, pay for most of it.
I also ordered my purse on ebay: http://www.ebay.com/itm/AQUA-Blue-Crystal-Paved-Evening-Rhinestone-Cocktail-Clutch-Purse-/400511016275?ssPageName=ADME:L:OC:CA:3160 ...I paid $36.99 for it ;-) and it matches my shoes perfectly
Given that we are getting legally married at home and only having a symbolic wedding in Cuba, I prepared I Marriage Certificate for us to sign at the beach. I put a portion of our wedding vows at the top of the certificate. I have it in powerpoint should anyone want to use it as a template.
This is the Marriage License I mentioned that I created...at the top I put a portion from our wedding vows...I really like it and have it available in powerpoint for anyone who would like to use it as a template.
We are also getting married a week before we leave for Cuba...I have created a "Beach Wedding Certificate" that we will sign in Cuba....that is what I will chersih....I will post it here when I'm not on my mobile....the legal wedding certificate will be put away in our safe. I think the beach wedding will be so special that it will naturally feel right to celebrate it as our anniversary
I agree with the girls....I want something simple cuz I do think that the scenery will be gorgeous in itself. I have chosen to just put palm tree leaves to create a isle with two large arrangements of flowers at the end and a smaller arrangement on the table where we are going to sign our Marriage Certificate. I will also have the chairs decorated with blue sashes... Here are a couple of pictures from where I got my inspiration. ....and a man in speedos crying, lol....can't wait to hear about that
Given that most of our guests live in the same town and the remaining will be staying at our cottage resort, we have decided to rent a bus and charge people $5 for a safe ride home. The bus can hold upto 48 people and will do 2 pick ups for $300. I created these tickets to sell
I got them off ebay....here is a link to the same seller http://www.ebay.ca/itm/Barefoot-Sandals-Beaded-Bridal-Pair-Sandal-Beach-Wedding-Pearl-or-Crystal-S-M-L-/390602305308?pt=Fashion_Jewelry&var=&hash=item5af1b62f1c
