My sister is currently stationed in Texas, her and her husband eloped and would love to celebrate with a reception and has asked me to help with planning, but we can't figure out where to actually hold it! His family is from New Mexico, we're from New Jersey and now its down to her and I bickering about costs and options...They've talked about picking a random state to marry in, like FL or Maine, but we're just all over the place!
