If we could do our wedding over again, we too would probably divide the entire day up into two parts – one part vacation and ceremony, one part reception. We would travel with a few of our closest family and friends to somewhere special for a cozy and more personal getaway where we could enjoy ourselves and escape from the typical stress that follows you as you near the few final days before the ceremony.  Then, with the vows behind you, invite everyone together for a party back home to celebrate your new lives together.
