My wonderful FI and I were engaged in August. We were planning a May wedding complete with a wedding party of 18. We had been planning a getaway to NC with some friends for a few days next month. He pipes up the other day and tells me that beings I always wanted to get married on a beach that we should do it then and just come back and have an awesome reception a few weeks later. Wow. Ok. I guess I will be buying my dress off the rack somewhere and scurry like crazy to get everything booked for the reception. I called my mom to make sure it was OK with her and she told me to go for it. I guess I will put all the wedding stress into a few weeks. But, marrying him will be totally worth it. Now, any suggestions on how to break it to the wedding party?
