Hello, I am New

I know what you say is true, but we both come from a very large and close family. When you have been together for this long, your family wants to be there. No family members are giving us the quilt trip, well not most. It just sad that we can't share our day with them.

On the other hand, how many would be able to come if we had the wedding here either. There would be a few that couldn't come or no shows.

Our entire wedding party has backed out. No MOH, or BM. We understand that they can't afford to go and are fine with their decision. It just makes it hard sometimes.

The only people that we had problems with is FH's BF's wife. She sent me a really nasty email when we announced our plans. Other than that, I had an aunt, who has been throwing hints about us staying here, but for the most part everyone as been supportive.

Here I go rambling again. Sorry about that.

First of all - WELCOME! I LOVE the idea of a cruise wedding, and if I had thoguht of it earlier I might have done one - I can't wait to hear about your plans. I have been on a few cruises, so if I can help, let me know.

Second, ...

Wow - good job, mom. It sounds like you've raised a fabulous daughter!

Third, don't worry about the "babbling" - you will soon see that there is plenty of that going on here, that's partially what this site is for!

I think most everyone needs a "forced" vacation...and what better way to do it then with a wonderful wedding added on!! It is hard to take vacations sometimes, and for many people...they will thank you for it!!

Congrats on your engagement!
