My fiance and I have been going back and forth since we got engaged. We are both from Delaware where the majority of our family still resides. At first we thought we'd do Delaware but when researching venues and ideas we both were just kind of "blah" on the idea. No offense to Delaware or Delaware brides, but we wanted something different and it seemed like all of the "different" venues in DE were out of our price range.
So we both visualized our wedding day and it screamed "beach!". We live here so it just feels right that we get married at the place where were are establisthing ourselves. I think if we still lived in Delaware, the OBX probably wouldn't have crossed my mind as a real possibility but knowing that it is now, I think if we did get married in Delaware we'd always regret it.
