To make a long story very short, my fiance and I really want a WDW wedding, but our families have given us a lot of pushback (some have flat out said they won't be able to afford to go). We were then going to get married in October 2014 close to home in New York, but even that is proving to be too expensive (the place we have our heart set on is $135/pp for a Sunday before tax!) so now we are considering postponing the wedding entirely until October of 2015.
I would love, then, to be able to save up money for a WDW wedding and still invite the 100-140 people on my list, do a site visit soon, and make a decision as best we can on location and date now (even though I know you cannot hold any dates at Disney until much closer to the event).
Would it be reasonable to create save-the-dates which express how we are planning our celebration in FL for the fall of 2015 and would love for people to consider attending? If I was given two years notice for a friend's wedding, I would surely save up money to be able to be there for them!
I'm so torn about the whole thing that honestly the W word makes me nauseous. I truly understand why people elope. I honestly do. And this isn't how I should feel about what should be the happiest time in my life.
