My ideal location right now is Key West (though I'm willing to have it anywhere on the western side of Florida that is close to an airport). That means Fort Zachary Taylor (http://www.fortzacharytaylor.com/wedding.html), which takes up the majority of the western side of the island, is the best place to have the ceremony so the sun sets over the water. I also want the bamboo "alter" (if that's what it is called). I may decorate it with some white lights and maybe some fabric. I also want to incorporate the sand ceremony into the wedding.
Even though we don't really need an officiant, our roommate (who got ordained to marry us the first time) will be officiating. He did an awesome job the first time around, especially considering we were only "engaged" for a total of 13 days and it was his first time officiating. I'm excited to hear his ideas on what he wants to add the second time around.
We would love a brass quintet to play for the wedding. Our first pick is the quintet made up of our old professors from college (http://www.smbq.com/). The only problem is, since four of the five of them are teachers, unless our wedding falls during spring break, the likelihood that they will be able to do it is quite slim. If they can't, we may have to settle on a local quintet, but I worry no one will compare to the other.
