Hi all!

 

I apologize for not replying sooner! The holidays were so crazy and my FI and I are now in The Netherlands to see his family. Just wanted to say thanks to everyone for making me feel so welcome! It is so great to post and people actually take the time to simply welcome you to the forum!

 

On another note, we have (more or less) decided on our location and I'm sure I will be the absolute only person on this forum getting married there. We are going to get married in Amsterdam!!!! I am super excited and my Fiance is too!!! Long story short, his mother was Dutch and because she passed away when he was born, we get to see very little of her family. We wanted to get married here but logistically we just didn't see how we could make it work. However, we really sat down and evaluated what was important to us and we knew what our hearts were telling us. Needless to say, his family over here is overjoyed and all of our American family (minus my father) are also really looking forward to it!

 

Just wanted to share our story with everyone and also to say, on a personal note, go with your heart!!! No matter what kind of adversity you face in planning a destination wedding and no matter how much you worry about everyone else, this is simply your wedding day!!

 

Oh and could anyone direct me to a place that I might post about weddings in Europe??!! I know they are less than popular because of the expense but if there are any specific users or threads you can point me to I would greatly appreciate it!

 

Thanks to all for the wonderful welcome greetings!
