going down to Cuba or mexico and getting married on the beach? Your honeymoon/wedding will be cheaper than a wedding here. I had a 100 person wedding in Edmonton, catered and very simple. Cost us $10,000 CDN all together. plus, i am SO not the planning type.
if I'd have known about that option before our HONEYMOON in Cuba, I'd have gone that route. We went for a week to Varadero (I say Cuba because it's fairly quiet, not super touristy) and stayed in an all inclusive, and added a few things on, all for about $3000 incl. airfare. Totally worth it!
And if you want to add to that cost wise, you can fly family down. It'd def. be something I'd do if I had it to do over. wedding planning is VERy stressful. Trevor has only yelled at me once, and it was when MIL was taking over the show. My mom was almost ousted from my life for controlling every detail.
this way it's a nice tidy package, and it's all included, and THEY do all the work.
