hoping that someone can help with ideas. my fiance and i got engaged mid-December. we are thinking of a maximum of 80 guests. i really want to make it a whole weekend experience for our guests. where i am struggling is that we want either a beach/outdoor ceremony and reception. we have looked at several locations in Newport, but none of them were just perfect. we want to get married this summer (2011), so time is running out to book somewhere. i also would prefer not to spend the equivalent of a down payment on a house. we want casual elegant. looking for either Rhode Island, Cape Cod, the Carribbean or Mexico.
HELP!!
