Getting engaged was easy, as I knew nothing about it and was happily kept in the dark till the big surprise.
It appears that planning the big day is a wee bit time consuming and demands attention to details in order to get the wedding we want and not something hum drum.
We know what we don't want.
And we've agreed on some ideas of what we do want.
I have a rather comprehensive list of website links and friends bringing me Wedding and Bridal magazines.
We want an All Inclusive, that will double as our wedding place and our honeymoon destination all in one.
A place somewhere with Tropical heat and reputable experience in hosting weddings that dreams are made of.
Two weeks, one with the family and friends present and the second on our own.
Exciting excursions, a quiet resort, hot sunny beaches, excellent food, places to walk to, and luxurious spa/massage services.
No further away than a six to seven hour flight and in North America.
We've already been to the Dominican Republic, Maui and Cuba in the last 18 months, so somewhere else.
Where we end up, should be suitable for our teenager, our parents and our friends alike.
The reception, well that is a whole other story, to be sorted out later.
