So I'm on vacation with FI family right now in the outer banks for the first time, and if you've never been here... you should come! it's awesome!Anyway, I just keep thinking about how beautiful it would be for a small beach wedding, and then have the reception at one of the big, beautiful houses right off the beach. So if anyone's still looking for an idea, or tired of planning and thinking about just running off somewhere-- this would be the best place! I wish I had the guts for an outdoor ceremony!
