Me and the fiance have for the last 6 months or so been trying to sit down and put together something for our wedding. We have went back and forth on a traditional style wedding and eloping (sp?)!!!
We visited several of the country clubs in the area and looked at some prices for the ceremony and the reception and this and that and the other ... and 8O 8O ... is really all I can say!
So we decided that if were going to spend 6-9 THOUSAND dollars on a wedding, why not do what WE want to do right? *BLEEP* the ceremony, *BLEEP* the reception, *BLEEP* trying to gather all the relatives spread across the US for a 2 day trip to FL. and let's go somewhere by ourselves!!!! We have narrowed it down to a couple places and really have our hearts set on one of them, but after looking at prices and legality issues we are considering something a little easier.
The two places we are considering are New Zealand and Hawaii. We have been looking on the web for sites that have package type deals and have really came up with some good stuff ... New Zealand looks AWESOME, but Hawaii is coming in a close 2nd. Thing is we have friends in Hawaii and wouldn't have to worry about finding witnesses and they would be willing to set up everything for us prior to us arriving. AND for what we spend to go to New Zealand for 8 days, we can go to Hawaii for 2 weeks.
We are really considering Hawaii, the island of Maui to be exact. And was wondering if anyone here (I Know we have a few peeps from HI) could recommend any tips or tricks? You know like good season to come to HI, Weather, when are there less touists to deal with, places to visit that are off the beaten path, tours that may be worth taking, places to DIVE, places to snorkel, any good restaraunts, bars ... etc etc etc!
WOW ... that was my longest post EVER!
Thanks in advance,
