Where will you be holding the ceremony and reception?
If you choose a wedding location that has a lot of entertainment and activities in the area, it will do the entertaining for you. Many of your guests will enjoy their own private vacation after the wedding.
What type of legal requirements are there for marriage in that area?
Be sure to research the residency and marriage laws in the area of which you wish to hold your wedding, as well as the waiting period, the filing period, and the documentation items you will need.
