My fiance and I have decided to tie the knot together on a beach by ourselves in a casual, low-key ceremony with our children. (It's my second marriage and the kids are from a previous marriage.) Our immediate families are supportive and happy for us and we're excited making plans. I had just a couple of questions regarding a wedding like this one.
1. Do I need to register? We aren't seeking gifts, although it's always nice if someone might want to get us something. If they are going to get us something, I'd rather it be something we could use.
2. Should we make some kind of formal announcement back home when we return? We are considering having a small, informal party for close family and friends at some point, again, no fuss and no presents, just sharing some cakes and laughs with those we love.
