Ok. Need to vent and need advise. Me and my guy are to be married Jan. 4, 2014, and the place we wanted to marry as doubled in their prices. Needless to say, we cannot afford it. So, Tried to check out alternative places, but nothing fits our needs, preferrences, or price. No one I know has a big enough house, and it would be a HUGE hassle to apply for a permit to marry in a public area... we live in another state, and want to marry in Florida, where I grew up. ... New to the planning thing, don't want to hire a planner, any suggestions??
