Where are you from; and Where is your wedding going(was) to be at?

I'll start... I'm in Sacramento, CA (USA) and my wedding is being planned to be in Monterey, CA (USA).... They are about 4 hours away. I am having it there because most of my guests are from the bay area.

I'm originally from San Antonio, Tx. But moved to New Braunfels 2 years ago, after college. Which is only 20 minutes outside of San Antonio. So my wedding was in down town San Antonio.

lol Yeah, I moved about 45 minutes away for college. Then was a student teacher so I moved to my school, which was only 15 minutes away. And we just bought a house here, so we're staying! But we fell in love with out venue in SA. Plus, most of our fam is there.

I live in Westlake, OH (cleveland area). The ceremony and reception is in Windsor, OH, which is about 90 minutes away. The venue was what I wanted and beleive it is worth driving that distance.

Originally am from San Antonio, TX but have lived in the Houston area for about 9 years now. I wanted my wedding to be different/unique and so we decided on a vineyard which is close to Galveston Texas (Texas coastline). Excited about it being different (both the ceremony and reception will be at this location).

AWESOME RESPONDS!!! They are begenning to be too many to respond to each one lol. but many of the reasons why the placeis gonna be a bit far is because its their dream from chidhood or the place is worth it(and to say money is available lol) If its close by its for guests and convinience (or money) GOOD LUCK TO YOU ALL!!
