Well, "again" is tech. the correct term, but it's to the same girl.
Well, my wife, when we were engaged, "accidently" became pregnant. Well, after he was born, we wanted to do the quote on quote, right thing, and get married. So we just did the courthouse thing, and had a quick party at a restuarant with the fams.
Well, my wifes grandparents, who are awesome, respected our decission, but wanted us to have a propper wedding.
So, Saturday, we are getting remarried at a church, just a renewing on the vows type ordeal, then having a full on reception at a very nice hotel that afternoon.
Her grandparents gift to us, is the reception, which is the nicest thing anyone has ever done for us... I had no idea how much these things cost... between the DJ, flowers, decorations, food, drinks... freaking insane....
What we have going is open bar from 4:30 - 7:00pm w/ dinner starting at 5:45pm. We have a 7 course dinner planned, then instead of getting a wedding cake, we got many smaller ones, different kinds, because no one could aggree on 1 kind. We also have a great DJ, and drunk dinner starting at 9:30, pizza, wings, etc, to soak up some of the booze.
But we question is, considering this whole thing isn't cheap, and her grandparents are paying for this, how should we repay them? When I say repay, I don't mean repay the costs of the wedding, because even though I could have paid for it, they didn't want us too... they want this to be their gift to us.
I just want to do something nice for them in the coming months. Maybe take them on vacation? Buy them something for their house?? I really don't know, I mean, this is like a 20 grand gift to us, and I don't think a thank you card is proper enough "thank you"
