Rhett and I did the same thing but opposite. We were supposed to marry in our college “hometown” (where we met), which was a handy location for all our friends and family. But when we visited all of the possible venues, we realized that as a couple we had outgrown them. So six months out, we moved the wedding to just outside of Asheville and endured a little bit of grief from the family and the pals. But once we secured some sweet accommodations at a killer rate for everyone, it turned into a giant friends and family vacation that everybody still talks about to this day. The giant tubs of beer we bought helped alot too.

I always say to engaged couples – do whatever it is you feel will make the day into what you always hoped it would be. Whether that means moving locations to accommodate more people or running off to Vegas with Elvis and Marilyn as your witnesses, it’s your day and your new life together. It should start the way you want it to and the way that feels right.

An expensive realization, but I’ll bet it was worth every penny! It’s funny how many people forget that weddings are not for them. If they were we’d all go to Vegas (or Colorado) and forget about inviting the families, the acquaintances etc.

Weddings are amazing, beautiful, unforgettable, but also a major hurdle that you must pass in front of everyone (almost half you don’t know). If you do you know that you have passed the most stressful thing (together) that you can. It’s a good test of a relationship.

And the photos (no matter where you have it) of all the people you have there and of each other are priceless.

Ha, I bought a 400 dollar couch with my brother, and then 3 days later decided to move cross country.
Well done Steve.
