Although he has had 2 previous marriages and both fairly large ceremonies, I have only been married once. I was 19 and I was married at the Justice of Peace and there was no celebration. I want to get married in Paris or Maui this time and give our immediate family the option of joining us. However, upon our return, I would like to have a fairly large reception/celebration for family and friends... band, dancing, dinner... but very casual. Is this acceptable? And, I would like to register for gifts as well. Is registering considered bad manners? I know many of our guests will want to do something and, although grateful, I don't want to end up with 30 toasters. Many thanks!
