Cute idea! I'm Sarah and my fiances named is Ilker (he's turkish!!) We are looking at two dates in fall right now, will depend on venue availability. I'm pretty set on platinum hotel (ceremony and reception), going in march to take a look and hopefully book it!!! I think I'm going to keep it simple with black and champagne colors, modern and simple theme. Yes its a destination wedding for us....about 125 on our invite list so far. No dress picked yet....although I feel like I've tried on a million! Ugh. No something borrowed, blue or old yet either!
