Where I've been...

Congratulations Brian!

You did the right thing. My wife and I did the expensive wedding at home and now wish we had not. Her dad paid, but offered to let us take the money and run. We visited Hawaii (Maui) last year and realized we should have taken the money and ran! Our wedding went by so fast, it's really hard to even remember anything (and we weren't drinking). I remember us being in the back of the limo half asleep on our way to the hotel being like "what the hell just happened".
