He has to be told
If he needs a reminder, just jump on your mountain bike and duplicate your avatar pic of last week 
Definitely, I wish my wife had your enthusiasm for skiing and biking. Although I don't know if I could afford to support two gear addictions.

Congrats!
Yeah Ryan, I remember those weddings. What a waste of money. We looked into having our wedding at the hof, wanted about $60g's had it on the other side of the hill at Sterling Ridge and saved about 50%. Congrats on the engagement. As long as you have fun, the wedding doesn't matter. To this day, I wish that I took the check my father inlaw offered me and had a huge party for about a 10th of the price. Big weddings are over-rated. It goes by like a blur and you will not even remember it.
Congrats again.
Thank you

We won't have a tremendous amount of financial backing and even if we did, neither of us want to blow major cash on one party. By renting a house and taking care of the food and beverage on our own through the connections we have, we'll be able to have a rippin party for about 100 people with far better food and booze than is served at banquets for abut four grand total. no $2000 Mary Ball photographer, no $1500 flower bill, no $130++ a guest food tab, no $30 a bottle wine that I can get for $8.....nada. Sure, having all that taken care of is nice, but such a huge waste of money no matter how great it is in my opinion.
Now, the honeymoon? That I'll blow some cash on

girls weekend sounds good to me.
DHS.... I give you this advice: Mexican citizenship is as simple as filling out this little form that asks for your name and date of birth. You might want to take that into consideration before Bridezillah eats your fiance and destroys the city.

I kind of figured you would be going that route. I have probably been involved in 100 weddings over the years and can really see the appeal of eating way better food in a much more casual atmosphere for a small small fraction of the cost.I can only imagine how much better the experience would be. I think we will take the same route eventually.

Just a word of Wedding planning advice............
I eloped, made a deal with my parents that they could give me 1/2 the money they'd spend on a wedding so I could have a kick ass honeymoon.
Went to Hawaii for 2 weeks...............Do it!!!!
Well, Hawaii may not be your destination of choice, but still, you won't remember half the wedding day, but the honeymoon will be chiseled in your mind forever!!!

She makes an excellent point!
Even though we didn't go hog wild with the wedding and kept it very affordable, what I really wanted to do was rent out a B&B in NH for the whole immediate family to stay for the weekend. I wanted a ceremony in the field with Mt. Washington in the background. I got out-voted. It's been 8.5 years since I proposed that and I still wish we had done it. I don't recall a whole lot of the actual wedding day... the pictures are a reminder but that's it. Little things like Brian stepping on my gown when we were announced at the reception and ripping it. Brian complaining that the DJ (my cousin) was too loud. The tophat. The after party at my parents' house. But I don't remember many *details*. And I barely ate because I was so busy entertaining all the guests.
Do what you feel is right in your heart. And spend the money on the honeymoon. I don't think you'll ever regret that.
haha, if I could ever find a time/job in life where I could take two weeks off.......sigh, seems like a dream right now.
right now...we're thinking Bermuda for probably six nights / days ....will be nice. This place specifically...

That was the first and last time we took that kind of time for a vacation of any kind, but still, it was worth it.
Uh? No February honeymoon in Jackson Hole?
We went to Bavaria and stayed in a little village right up against the alps. Split our time between trips to Salzburg and Munich with hiking and biking in the alps.

Just keep turning down the heat gradually during the winter. Get her used to the cold, and save a buck in the process!
And congrats!
