Hello!
My issue is that my FI and I have the same goal-to spend the rest of our lives together, and get married.
HOWEVER, we have two visions on what this day should look like.
It is my hope that we can use both of our ideas, and come up with something in the middle.
Do you all have any suggestions?
The Basics:
We live in the country, Maine.
He is on the Fire and Ambulance Service, and it is his life. He also lobsters.
My two children, who will be 5 and 7 when we get married, will be a part of the wedding (FI gives a promise and gift to them after our vows).
We are on a limited budget.
I was previously married, and it was a courthouse blah.
He IS open to my idea, and will go along with whatever I plan, however, I want his idea to be taken into consideration.
His IDEA:
Lobster bake/bbq and somehow during the ordeal we end up married.
Firetruck for our get away car.
Outside at his cousins by their pond.
No ''wedding'' per say, just a big ol'' get together.
Semi-formal.
Picnic tables, no seating arrangements.
All decorations would be firetrucks, or fire related.
My IDEA:
Outside wedding, maybe at the beach. His cousins is very pretty.
Rent an outside dance floor and tent area.
Have two seperate functions, or areas. Wedding, reception.
More formal. Tux and white dress.
Have a ''wedding'' feel.
Centerpieces, favors, etc.
Wedding party table, isle, etc.
HELP!
