Hi!
My FI and I are "eloping" on a cruise this December which we will also use as our honeymoon. I use "these" because even though we will be getting married alone (or with maybe one set of friends in attendance) everyone knows we are getting married and we are telling people. We would like to have a home reception summer 2013 to celebrate our marriage.
We are having our wedding intimate for several personal reasons and mainly because it is what we want. We don't want the drama and hassle of a traditional wedding, plus we live in MO and my family and the majority of our friends live in several states across the NE and MI.
I know many people have issues with a late reception and I'll most likely take some shell fire for even mentioning it, but for a duel second wedding we think it is perfect for us and our situation.
Has anyone else done this before and have any advice or ideas they could throw our way? I was thinking of sending out announcements/STD's in November. Something along the lines of...
We are having our wedding alone, but would like to celebrate our marriage with all of you at this date at our home.
Not exactly the wording but this idea. Once again...any ideas or suggestions?
