ow can I have a wedding/reception that includes his family in Germany, mine in Montana, and we will live in Florida. None of our family will fly to Florida, but somehow I think..do I go back to MT and do a reception (Germany would have to wait for 2 years, K-1 Visa) and then Florida do I have a reception? Not that many friends here..or do we do the civil service in Florida and a ceremony in Mt? Ideas?

Thank you, great ideas. We are both early 40's also, and its just a different experience at this age.

I would do a civil service...like at the court house in Fl...since that is where your residence is, it might be tricky to try to get married in MT since ya'll aren't residents. Send out annoucements to all family members...including those is Germany, so everyone knows. Then, when you can, have a backyard reception in MT for your family and a get-together with his family in Germany as soon as possible. Good luck and congrats!

I would get a large screen TV or better still use projectors and a computer at each location one here in the States and one in Germany. I would then set up a Webb cam in each
location. and a the sites linked together. This way both sites can view and hear the activities and communicate in real time with each other. You could even arrange the speakers to give a more natural sound field. All this should be able to be accomplished with very little difficulty. You could even utilize more than one camera in each location and then you would have different viewing stations so your guest will have better access a camera and microphone.

Get married in Florida since you both live there. Then plan a reception in Montana and invite his relatives from Germany.You should provide rooms for them while they are there in Montana. If they are not able to travel to MT at that time extend the invite for them to visit you in Florida another time!

Have multiple weddings/receptions and fully enjoy all of them! I know it sounds crazy and expensive, but it doesn't have to be. Maybe one wedding will be your dream wedding. Another can have a theme to it, another can just a fun come-as-you-are party. The main thing is, and by reading your issue, it seems you may have forgotten, is that you and your spouse have a GREAT TIME!!!
