[Comment From Jackie]
My fiance and I have been together almost 8 years (engaged for 2). This will be my second marriage. I'm not interested in a big wedding. Actually I would like it to be just the two of us. I don't want to run to vegas but I'm not sure how to go anywhere else for the weekend because of the whole marriage license ahead of time. Most states you have to apply in person and wait two weeks. Any suggestions something intimate and convenient without being trashy??

QOHweddings - Hi Jackie- A really simple answer is to find a small bed and breakfast in the same state you live in ... the application proces in PA for residents is 3 day wait and is good for 60 days... you could go away fairly close by do a small private ceremony and not have the long out of state wait...

1:00	QOHweddings - the application proces in both NJ and DE are fairly similar so a quick, quiet getaway is really easy to do

[Comment From Tom]
I'm getting married in October to my high school sweetheart. I want to invite more friends to the wedding, but my fiance insists if I do, she taking it out of "my side" of the guest list for family. The problem is, Out of 200 guests, my family is only allotted 50 because of her large family. Is it normal to have friends included in the family list?

QOHweddings - Thanks Tom- unfortunately sometimes in weddings we go by the "golden rule' he who has the gold makes the rules and sometimes this tends to favor the family paying for the wedding. A good rule is to split the total number of guests into three parts- your family, her family and the two of you as a couple

1:04	[Comment From Jackie] Thanks Mark. I did look into that. I like to book places through word of mouth so I'll ask around to see if anyone has any suggestions.

1:04	QOHweddings - if you family is smaller you can fill in with your friends, if her's is larger she might not be able to include as many of "her' friends- but this leaves the two fo you a fuill third for your friends or to really learn the art of giving in and working together
