Hi ladies! I'm new (to the destination board but not the knot) but I have been lurking and I had a question about an idea that me and the BF have been kicking around. We are not engaged yet but I'm pretty positive it will happen in the next month. We have talked and really envision ourselves doing a destination. So here's my dilemma...We ran the idea past family and friends just as a "hey what about this idea". Our friends are all for it...family not so much. His side can't afford to go and my dad physically doesn't want to make the trip.
We talked and thought well since it's so difficult getting legally hitched in another country and we had decided to do the courthouse before we leave maybe we can just have the family come to that, take some pictures and then go to dinner. That way they get to see us legally married and we still get to have a fun ceremony in the Caribbean like we wanted. Have any of you heard of doing something this? Is it tacky to have two weddings basically? I've seen this sort of thing not go over well on Etiquette but I was wondering if there is some sort of "pass" for destination situations?
