I partner and I planning a wedding in Florida September 2011. We live in Michigan and this will be a destination wedding for us. I know we still have awhile to go, but I am obsessed with at least deciding on the location where we will have the ceremony and reception. Our first thought was west coast sunset wedding, but we were later told that the waves were small, and the point of our beach wedding is to get married with the big waves of the ocean crashing on our feet. So then we thought of the east coast but someone told us that Florida Panhandle (Panama City Beach) was the best of both worlds, it has the beautiful sunset and larger waves. I also must have looked at every hotel/resort/reception site in all of florida. We are looking for some place that we can have the ceremony and reception at the same place AND outside and the reception site needs to have access to the beach. (after all, this is a beach wedding) At this point I feel super overwhelmed. Please any advice is welcome!!!
