I need some help :(: Posted: Jul 29, 2008 6:02 PM; Hi everyone! I really could use some help right now. I'm in the early planning stages of my wedding. My ideal is to have a destination wedding somewhere in the Caribbean (Yucatan is okay, too) at an all-inclusive resort. We're thinking of getting married on New Years Eve 2009. My fiancee and I aren't too limited budget-wise (although we like to keep things simple and as inexpensive as possible). Our real worry is making the trip affordable for the handful of friends and family who are willing and able to make the trip. From a few cursory searches, the prices at these resorts plus airfare are astronomical! My fiancee refuses to ask our guests to pay more than 3000-3500 for airfare and lodging, and frankly I have to agree.
I guess my question is, are we dreaming? Is this even possible? I would appreciate any insight. I was so upset last night that my "dream wedding on the beach" seems a complete bust. I just need to know if I need to "dream" something else until we win the lottery or something.
Thank you so, so much in advance. I've really appreciated reading the message boards. Seriously, thank you for reading my post :)

AND Christmas and over New Year's will be the highest rates of the year, considerably higher than any other time of the year..

Re: I need some help :(: Posted: Jul 31, 2008 6:33 PM Go to message in response to: wicket42; Hi wicket!
I, like you, never dreamed of having the wedding I always fantasized about!
I was 40 and had given up all hope! My folks had passed and I'd given up on that "perfect wedding".
You've got a little ways to go and you've got plenty of time to plan. (I, personally, planned my entire wedding in one year.)
I met the man of my dreams in February, 2007, got engaged in July, 2007 and married on the 19th of this month and I am still on a cloud!
I wish you the best in planning!
I don't know much about finances and all that but I am just here to tell you to never, ever give up on your dreams!
How many people do you plan on inviting or is it too early to ask?

Congratulations on your wedding!
