Hello! Here's my saga: I'm Brazilian living in the US for 7 years now and my fiancé is American. My whole family is still in Brazil, so I'm definitely having a wedding there. I'm going there for Xmas and NYE, so will get married January 3rd next year. Even though I don't love the date, it's the date we can be there, I'm ok with that.
Now, we want to have some kind of party or wedding here for our friends. We wanted to do it in March previously, but it feels silly to be here married already and not have out wedding already. So now we are thinking of getting married here a couple of weeks after we return from Brazil. But it's so much to plan and pay for! And I'm not even thinking honeymoon yet!
Also, I wanted to wear my wedding dress again for pictures and live the experience here, but we can't pay for another wedding here. Then, is it just a party? Reception? Simple wedding in a ballroom or park? Rent a house or cabin with friends? How do we go about this?
Thank you in advance!
