When is a good time to have a AHR

[Tropical Love]

Valentine Baby,

   At first I was totally okay with having AHR BBQ the summer of 2012.  It was going to either be in our backyard or a park pavillion and have it catered. But now Im leaning towards when we get back.  The only problem is not knowing how much money we're going to have left after the wedding. 

  WEDDING PLANNING BLOWS sometimes!

This is also something that been coming up in conversation and I don't have an answer to this as well.

 

And they said planning a destination wedding would be easy lol

FH, my closest Aunt and myself have decided to have a party the following summer to celebrate. By that time we'll have some more money saved and this will prevent me from having to worry about one more thing after the wedding. Plus, I really didn't want people to have to travel to the northeast in November right before Thanksgiving!

 

Thank you ladies for all you suggestion and advice. I really do love this website! I'd be lost without it!
