07/02/03 - Wedding Surveys have been sent - We took a cross-section of our prospective wedding guest list and mailed wedding surveys in order to get an idea of how many people would be interested in attending a destination wedding. These surveys were not designed to be an RSVP. The destination wedding location that we are considering is the Walt Disney World Resort in Orlando, Florida. If we have it there, we will be blocking off rooms at Disney Resorts at a discounted rate for everyone that wants to attend. We are looking forward to receiving responses from those surveyed, and will be posting the results here when they have been tallied.
